Ingénierie tissulaireL'ingénierie tissulaire ou génie tissulaire (en anglais, tissue engineering) est l'ensemble des techniques faisant appel aux principes et aux méthodes de l'ingénierie, de la culture cellulaire, des sciences de la vie, des sciences des matériaux pour comprendre les relations entre les structures et les fonctions des tissus normaux et pathologiques des mammifères, afin de développer des substituts biologiques pouvant restaurer, maintenir ou améliorer les fonctions des tissus.
Robot-assisted surgeryRobot-assisted surgery or robotic surgery are any types of surgical procedures that are performed using robotic systems. Robotically assisted surgery was developed to try to overcome the limitations of pre-existing minimally-invasive surgical procedures and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery. In the case of robotically assisted minimally-invasive surgery, instead of the surgeon directly moving the instruments, the surgeon uses one of two methods to perform dissection, hemostasis and resection, using a direct telemanipulator, or through computer control.
