An entropy-based approach to detect and localize intraoperative bleeding during minimally invasive surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: During minimally invasive surgery (either robotic or traditional laparoscopic), vascular injuries may occur because of inadvertent surgical tool movements or actions. These vascular injuries can lead to arterial or venous bleeding with va...

Design and development of a non-contact robotic gripper for tissue manipulation in minimally invasive surgery.

Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis
This paper describes the design and testing of a gripper developed for handling of delicate and flexible tissues during minimally invasive surgery. The device operates on the Bernoulli principle for generating hight-speed flow between the gripper and...

[Robot-assisted Mediastinal Mass Resection].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie
In recent years, robot-assisted thoracic surgery is gaining more and widespread interest in Europe. Due to the narrow space and the complexity of anatomical structures, conventional minimally invasive mediastinal surgery may be challenging for the th...

State-of-the-art of intelligent minimally invasive surgical robots.

Frontiers of medicine
A number of developed countries are rapidly turning into super-aged societies. Consequently, the demand for reduced surgical invasiveness and enhanced efficiency in the medical field has increased due to the need to reduce the physical burden on olde...

Investigating exploration for deep reinforcement learning of concentric tube robot control.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Concentric tube robots are composed of multiple concentric, pre-curved, super-elastic, telescopic tubes that are compliant and have a small diameter suitable for interventions that must be minimally invasive like fetal surgery. Combinations ...

Assessment and prediction of spine surgery invasiveness with machine learning techniques.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: The interest in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) techniques has greatly increased in the recent years due to their significant advantages, both in terms of outcome improvement and cost reduction. Also in spine surgery, MIS is now applicab...
