Pneumatically driven surgical instrument capable of estimating translational force and grasping force.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: In robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, feedback as well as sensing of translational and grasping forces allows surgeons to manipulate the robots using an appropriate force. However, there have been limited reports on single instrum...

Real-time tracking of surgical instruments based on spatio-temporal context and deep learning.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
ABSTARCT Real-time tool tracking in minimally invasive-surgery (MIS) has numerous applications for computer-assisted interventions (CAIs). Visual tracking approaches are a promising solution to real-time surgical tool tracking, however, many approach...

Shape memory alloy reinforced 5 mm ultra-thin rigid link surgical instrument with force-feedback.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
We report the development of a rigid link surgical instrument for surgical robotics. The device is only 5 mm in diameter and equipped with a shape memory alloy for better gripping, which avoids the use of mechanical gears. This ultra-thin instrument ...

CATARACTS: Challenge on automatic tool annotation for cataRACT surgery.

Medical image analysis
Surgical tool detection is attracting increasing attention from the medical image analysis community. The goal generally is not to precisely locate tools in images, but rather to indicate which tools are being used by the surgeon at each instant. The...

Improved surgical instruments without coupled motion used in minimally invasive surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Unlike a manual surgical instrument, a surgical instrument used in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is configured with a wrist to improve flexibility in surgical operation. However, this configuration has a shortcoming that...

State of Robotic Mastoidectomy: Literature Review.

World neurosurgery
Over the past 30 years, the application of robotics in the field of neurotology has grown. Robots are able to perform increasingly complex tasks with ever improving accuracy, allowing them to be used in a broad array of applications. A mastoidectomy,...

A new approach for safe planning transfer using semi-automatically adjustable instrument guides.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
Accurate planning transfer is a prerequisite for successful operative care. For different applications, diverse computer-assisted systems have been developed and clinically evaluated. This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of a new mod...

Impact of the off-clamp endoscopic robot-assisted simple enucleation (ERASE) of clinical T1 renal tumors on the postoperative renal function: Results from a matched-pair comparison.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
PURPOSE: To evaluate the surgical and functional outcomes of a matched-paired series of on-clamp vs off-clamp endoscopic robot-assisted simple enucleation (ERASE) and standardized renorraphy in a tertiary referral institution, to search for predictor...

Development of an intelligent surgical training system for Thoracentesis.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Surgical training improves patient care, helps to reduce surgical risks, increases surgeon's confidence, and thus enhances overall patient safety. Current surgical training systems are more focused on developing technical skills, e.g. dexterity, of t...

Tracking-by-detection of surgical instruments in minimally invasive surgery via the convolutional neural network deep learning-based method.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
BACKGROUND: Worldwide propagation of minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) is hindered by their drawback of indirect observation and manipulation, while monitoring of surgical instruments moving in the operated body required by surgeons is a challenging...
