A microsurgical robot research platform for robot-assisted microsurgery research and training.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Ocular surgery, ear, nose and throat surgery and neurosurgery are typical types of microsurgery. A versatile training platform can assist microsurgical skills development and accelerate the uptake of robot-assisted microsurgery (RAMS). Howev...

Toward Safe Retinal Microsurgery: Development and Evaluation of an RNN-Based Active Interventional Control Framework.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Robotics-assisted retinal microsurgery provides several benefits including improvement of manipulation precision. The assistance provided to the surgeons by current robotic frameworks is, however, a "passive" support, e.g., by damping hand...

Craniobot: A computer numerical controlled robot for cranial microsurgeries.

Scientific reports
Over the last few decades, a plethora of tools has been developed for neuroscientists to interface with the brain. Implementing these tools requires precisely removing sections of the skull to access the brain. These delicate cranial microsurgical pr...

Robot-assisted tremor control for performance enhancement of retinal microsurgeons.

The British journal of ophthalmology
Pars plana vitrectomy is a challenging, minimally invasive microsurgical procedure due to its intrinsic manoeuvres and physiological limits that constrain human capability. An important human limitation is physiological hand tremor, which can signifi...

Applied Force during Piston Prosthesis Placement in a 3D-Printed Model: Freehand vs Robot-Assisted Techniques.

Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
OBJECTIVES: To describe a 3D-printed middle ear model that quantifies the force applied to the modeled incus. To compare the forces applied during placement and crimping of a stapes prosthesis between the Robotic ENT Microsurgery System ( REMS) and t...

Effective deep learning training for single-image super-resolution in endomicroscopy exploiting video-registration-based reconstruction.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a recent imaging modality that allows performing in vivo optical biopsies. The design of pCLE hardware, and its reliance on an optical fibre bundle, fundamentally limits the image quality w...

Feasibility study on robot-assisted retinal vascular bypass surgery in an ex vivo porcine model.

Acta ophthalmologica
PURPOSE: To describe a new robot-assisted surgical system for retinal vascular bypass surgery (RVBS) and to compare the success rate with freehand RVBS.

Cooperative robot assistant for vitreoretinal microsurgery: development of the RVRMS and feasibility studies in an animal model.

Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to describe the development of a robotic aided surgical system named RVRMS (robotic vitreous retinal microsurgery system) and to evaluate the capability for using it to perform vitreoretinal surgery.

Microsurgery robots: addressing the needs of high-precision surgical interventions.

Swiss medical weekly
Robotics has a significant potential to enhance the overall capacity and efficiency of healthcare systems. Robots can help surgeons perform better quality operations, leading to reductions in the hospitalisation time of patients and in the impact of ...
