Surgical instrument segmentation is recognised as a key enabler in providing advanced surgical assistance and improving computer-assisted interventions. In this work, we propose SegMatch, a semi-supervised learning method to reduce the need for expen...
The accurate recognition of surgical instruments is essential for the advancement of intraoperative artificial intelligence (AI) systems. In this study, we assessed the YOLOv8 model's efficacy in identifying robotic and laparoscopic instruments in ro...
Delicate manual microsurgeries rely on sufficient hands-on experience for safe manipulations. Automated surgical devices can enhance the effectiveness, but developing high-resolution, multi-axis force-sensing devices for micro operations remains chal...
Accurate tool tracking is essential for the success of computer-assisted intervention. Previous efforts often modeled tool trajectories rigidly, overlooking the dynamic nature of surgical procedures, especially tracking scenarios like out-of-body and...
BACKGROUND: Pediatric minimally invasive surgery requires advanced technical skills. Off-the-job training (OJT), especially when using disease-specific models, is an effective method of acquiring surgical skills. To achieve effective OJT, it is neces...
