A generic scope actuation system for flexible endoscopes.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: A scope actuation system assists a surgeon in steering a scope for navigating an operative field during an interventional or diagnostic procedure. Each system is tailored for a specific surgical procedure. The development of a generic sco...

Evaluation of the Efficiency of a Joystick-Guided Robotic Scope Holder Compared to That of Human Scopists: A Prospective Trial.

Surgical innovation
PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare motions of the laparoscope tip during a laparoscopic task in a training box using a recent joystick-guided robotic scope holder to those manipulated by human scopists. We hypothesized that laparoscopic manipulatio...

Development and validation of a deep-learning based assistance system for enhancing laparoscopic control level.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Inter-operator variations in the level of intraoperative laparoscope control by surgeons influence surgical outcomes. We aimed to construct a laparoscopic surgery quantification system (LSQS) for real-time evaluation of the surge...

Image-based laparoscopic camera steering versus conventional steering: a comparison study.

Journal of robotic surgery
In the last 2 decades, multiple robotic camera holders have been developed to improve camera steering during laparoscopic surgery. A new image-based steering method has been developed for more intuitive camera control. In this article, the efficiency...

Five thousand years of minimal access surgery: 3000BC to 1850: early instruments for viewing body cavities.

Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
Surgeons and their patients recognise that one of the major advances in surgical technique over the last 20 years has been the growth of minimal access surgery by means of laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Partnerships with industry have facilitat...

Object extraction via deep learning-based marker-free tracking framework of surgical instruments for laparoscope-holder robots.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The surgical instrument tracking framework, especially the marker-free surgical instrument tracking framework, is the key to visual servoing which is applied to achieve active control for laparoscope-holder robots. This paper presented a mar...

Adaptive Fusion-Based Autonomous Laparoscope Control for Semi-Autonomous Surgery.

Journal of medical systems
The purpose of this paper is to develop an autonomous tracking algorithm based on adaptive fusion kinematics method, the autonomous laparoscope control algorithm and adaptive fusion kinematics method are proposed for semi-autonomous surgery, focus on...

Design and Evaluation of FBG-Based Tension Sensor in Laparoscope Surgical Robots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Due to the narrow space and a harsh chemical environment in the sterilization processes for the end-effector of surgical robots, it is difficult to install and integrate suitable sensors for the purpose of effective and precise force control. This pa...

Tracking-by-detection of surgical instruments in minimally invasive surgery via the convolutional neural network deep learning-based method.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
BACKGROUND: Worldwide propagation of minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) is hindered by their drawback of indirect observation and manipulation, while monitoring of surgical instruments moving in the operated body required by surgeons is a challenging...

A computationally efficient method for hand-eye calibration.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Surgical robots with cooperative control and semiautonomous features have shown increasing clinical potential, particularly for repetitive tasks under imaging and vision guidance. Effective performance of an autonomous task requires accurate...
