ST-ITEF: Spatio-Temporal Intraoperative Task Estimating Framework to recognize surgical phase and predict instrument path based on multi-object tracking in keratoplasty.

Medical image analysis
Computer-assisted cognition guidance for surgical robotics by computer vision is a potential future outcome, which could facilitate the surgery for both operation accuracy and autonomy level. In this paper, multiple-object segmentation and feature ex...

Decontamination of a robot used to reprocess reusable surgical instruments.

The Journal of hospital infection
BACKGROUND: Using robots to handle medical devices in the decontamination area of the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) can reduce risks and address staff shortages. The gripper design must allow reliable cleaning using standard CSSD procedure...

Development of a deep learning model for safe direct optical trocar insertion in minimally invasive surgery: an innovative method to prevent trocar injuries.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Direct optical trocar insertion is a common procedure in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. However, misinterpretations of the abdominal wall anatomy can lead to severe complications. Artificial intelligence has shown promise in sur...

Portable manipulation system for commercial robotic surgery forceps.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Transition from the utilisation of traditional instruments to new robotic methodologies in surgical operations occurs rapidly. Although the implementation of these methodologies to classical surgery operations is advantageous due to incre...

CholecTriplet2022: Show me a tool and tell me the triplet - An endoscopic vision challenge for surgical action triplet detection.

Medical image analysis
Formalizing surgical activities as triplets of the used instruments, actions performed, and target anatomies is becoming a gold standard approach for surgical activity modeling. The benefit is that this formalization helps to obtain a more detailed u...

Trocar localisation for robot-assisted vitreoretinal surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Robot-assisted vitreoretinal surgery provides precise and consistent operations on the back of the eye. To perform this safely, knowledge of the surgical instrument's remote centre of motion (RCM) and the location of the insertion point into...

Efficacy of using Maryland forceps versus electrocoagulation hooks in da Vinci robot-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal tumor resection.

World journal of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: To compare the difference of short-term curative effect between the use of Maryland forceps (MF) and electrocoagulation hooks (EH) in da Vinci robot-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal tumor resection.

A stiffness-tunable soft actuator inspired by helix for medical applications.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: This paper introduces the stiffness-tunable soft actuator (STSA), a novel device that combines a silicone body with a thermoplastic resin structure (TPRS). The STSA's design allows for the variable stiffness of soft robots, significantly inc...

Evaluation of single-stage vision models for pose estimation of surgical instruments.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Multiple applications in open surgical environments may benefit from adoption of markerless computer vision depending on associated speed and accuracy requirements. The current work evaluates vision models for 6-degree of freedom pose estima...

Unpaired deep adversarial learning for multi-class segmentation of instruments in robot-assisted surgical videos.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
PURPOSE: Image segmentation of instruments in the raw surgical videos is a critical component of intraoperative assistance softwares. Challenges include addressing rendered overlays occluding the instrument while providing pivotal input to instrument...
