Operative neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.)
May 26, 2022
BACKGROUND: Intraoperative tool movement data have been demonstrated to be clinically useful in quantifying surgical performance. However, collecting this information from intraoperative video requires laborious hand annotation. The ability to automa...

BACKGROUND: Recent tele-mentoring technologies for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) augments the operative field with movements of virtual surgical instruments as visual cues. The objective of this work is to assess different user-interfaces that eff...
Fluorescence imaging is increasingly being implemented in surgery. One of the drawbacks of its application is the need to switch back-and-forth between fluorescence- and white-light-imaging settings and not being able to dissect safely under fluoresc...

PURPOSE: Using the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK), we propose and experimentally demonstrate transfer learning (Xfer) of dynamics between different configurations and robots distributed around the world. This can extend recent research using neural net...
Vision-based detection and tracking of surgical instrument are attractive because it relies purely on surgical instrument already in the operating scenario. The vision knowledge of the surgical instruments is a crucial piece of topic for surgical tas...

BACKGROUND: Control of the joints of robotic surgical instruments is difficult owing to hysteresis, and tendon twisting due to axial rotation of surgical tools also causes hysteresis. Therefore, a new mechanism is needed to prevent tendon twisting.
INTRODUCTION: Although robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (RANU) has been increasingly used worldwide, the history of RANU remains short, and the optimal surgical method for performing RANU has yet to be established. Here we introduce the ideal approa...
Analysis of operative data with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is expected to improve the knowledge and professional skills of surgeons. Identification of objects in videos recorded during surgery can be used for surgical skill assessment and s...
