Zusammenfassung:A manipulable hand for use in laparoscopic surgery having a controlled hand (12), remote from the operator, and having at least one controlled finger (72,76). The controlled finger has at least one hinge corresponding to an interphalangeal joint of a human finger and is adapted for insertion through a cannula to an internal surgical site. The controlled hand is connected by motion transmission rods (50-55) or cables (50a-54a) to a controller (14) which moves the controlled hand in accordance with sensed movement of the surgeon's hand and allows a surgeon to remotely perform a laparoscopic surgical procedure.
