Design of the flexible HORSE morcellator for the surgical treatment of Cushing's disease in horses

Abstract

Thesis on the design of a flexible morcellator for the surgical treatment of Cushing's disease in horses. Currently there is no surgical treatment possible in horses due to lack of a surgical approach and tools. In this study a new innovative flexible tool is developped in combination with a surgical approach that can be used for the surgical treatment. The prototype was succesfully tested, allowing for surgical treatment of Cushing's disease in horses in the near future.BMEBioMechanical EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
