Artificial hand for minimally invasive surgery: design and testing of initial prototype.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery may improve recovery and patient satisfaction while maintaining surgical principles. Laparoscopic, single incision, natural orifice, and robotic approaches hold their own ...

Mobile locally operated detachable end-effector manipulator for endoscopic surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Local surgery is safer than remote surgery because emergencies can be more easily addressed. Although many locally operated surgical robots and devices have been developed, none can safely grasp organs and provide traction. A new manipulator...

Next-generation surgical navigation: Marker-less multi-view 6DoF pose estimation of surgical instruments.

Medical image analysis
State-of-the-art research of traditional computer vision is increasingly leveraged in the surgical domain. A particular focus in computer-assisted surgery is to replace marker-based tracking systems for instrument localization with pure image-based 6...

Cutting Skill Assessment by Motion Analysis Using Deep Learning and Spatial Marker Tracking.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
The assessment of surgical skill is crucial for indicating a surgeon's proficiency. While motion analysis of surgical tools is widely used in endoscopic surgery, it is not commonly applied to open surgery. Instead, open surgery skill assessment relie...

Leveraging LLMs to Understand Narratives in MAUDE Reports.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Interest in using the MAUDE database to investigate adverse events linked to medical devices has been growing. Yet, the narrative sections of these reports remain largely unexplored, leaving valuable insights unutilized and creating an incomplete und...

Vision Module for Automatic Tracking on Bedside Intelligent Scope-Holding Surgical Robot System.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: This study aims to develop an active following technology of the mirror-holding arm of a bedside intelligent surgical robot that enables real-time automatic tracking of surgical instruments.

Improving precision instrument cleaning with a quality control module: implementation and outcomes.

Frontiers in public health
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a cleaning quality control module integrated into a hospital's Disinfection Supply Center (DSC) for improving the cleaning quality of precision surgical instruments.

ERegPose: An explicit regression based 6D pose estimation for snake-like wrist-type surgical instruments.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Accurately estimating the 6D pose of snake-like wrist-type surgical instruments is challenging due to their complex kinematics and flexible design.

Analysis of influence of surgical instruments on accuracy of magnetic navigation system for craniofacial surgery robots.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
In craniofacial surgery, magnetic navigation systems can effectively extend the doctor's limited visual range, improve their surgical precision, shorten the operation time, and reduce the incidence of surgical complications. Owing to the ease of magn...
