Abstract
The total workspace of the prototype magnetic laser scanner is 4 \(\times \) 4 mm\(^2\). Prior research indicates that surgeons prefer the high-speed scanning lengths in the range of 1–2 mm [1, 2, 3]. However, commercial systems with mirror-based scanning provide incision lengths up to 5 mm [2]. Therefore, the achieved total workspace is comparable to the state-of-the-art systems and to the needs of surgeons. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that the workspace of the magnetic laser scanner can be further increased by adapting the optical design for longer working distances between the target and the tip of the scanner. The extent of the workspace would increase linearly with the increasing focal length. Additionally, coupling the magnetic laser scanner to the distal end of a flexible robotic endoscope would also increase the workspace by enabling the motion of the end-effector module itself. However, when adapting the optical design and integrating the system with a flexible endoscope, the total volume available at the surgical site should be considered as a design restriction.
