Positioning and stiffening of an articulated/continuum manipulator for implant delivery in minimally invasive surgery

Hollow, bendable manipulators can advance implant delivery in minimally invasive surgery, by circumventing the drawbacks of straight‐line delivery and fostering single‐port approaches. Variable stiffness manipulators are sought to be safe and effective.
