Real-time surgical needle detection using region-based convolutional neural networks.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
OBJECTIVE: Conventional surgical assistance and skill analysis for suturing mostly focus on the motions of the tools. As the quality of the suturing is determined by needle motions relative to the tissues, having knowledge of the needle motion would ...

Handheld laparoscopic robotized instrument: progress or challenge?

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Handheld laparoscopic robotized instruments have been developed to combine the advantages of a robotic operation system and conventional laparoscopic instruments. Direct objective standards are needed to quantify surgeons' skill level and...

Segmenting and classifying activities in robot-assisted surgery with recurrent neural networks.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Automatically segmenting and classifying surgical activities is an important prerequisite to providing automated, targeted assessment and feedback during surgical training. Prior work has focused almost exclusively on recognizing gestures, o...

Expert-led and artificial intelligence (AI) system-assisted tutoring course increase confidence of Chinese medical interns on suturing and ligature skills: prospective pilot study.

Journal of educational evaluation for health professions
PURPOSE: Lack of confidence in suturing/ligature skills due to insufficient practices and assessments was common among novice Chinese medical interns. This study aims to improve the skill acquisition of medical interns with new interventional program...

Sensor-based machine learning for workflow detection and as key to detect expert level in laparoscopic suturing and knot-tying.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: The most common way of assessing surgical performance is by expert raters to view a surgical task and rate a trainee's performance. However, there is huge potential for automated skill assessment and workflow analysis using modern techn...

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...

Automated robot-assisted surgical skill evaluation: Predictive analytics approach.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Surgical skill assessment has predominantly been a subjective task. Recently, technological advances such as robot-assisted surgery have created great opportunities for objective surgical evaluation. In this paper, we introduce a predicti...

Demonstration of transoral robotic supraglottic laryngectomy and total laryngectomy in cadaveric specimens using the Medrobotics Flex System.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: Current management of laryngeal malignancies is associated with significant morbidity. Application of minimally invasive transoral techniques may reduce the morbidity associated with traditional procedures. The purpose of this study was t...

The Role of Direct and Visual Force Feedback in Suturing Using a 7-DOF Dual-Arm Teleoperated System.

IEEE transactions on haptics
The lack of haptic feedback in robotics-assisted surgery can result in tissue damage or accidental tool-tissue hits. This paper focuses on exploring the effect of haptic feedback via direct force reflection and visual presentation of force magnitudes...

Technique and outcomes of bladder neck intussusception during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy: A parallel comparative trial.

Urologic oncology
INTRODUCTION: Postprostatectomy incontinence significantly impairs quality of life. Although bladder neck intussusception has been reported to accelerate urinary recovery after open radical retropubic prostatectomy, its adaption to robotic surgery ha...
