We present a new framework for in vivo image guidance evaluation and provide case study on robotic partial nephrectomy.
Using an image guidance system constructed over the past several years [1], [2] we have recently collected our first in vivo human pilot study data on use of da Vinci for guided partial nephrectomy [3]. Others also previously created systems (IGS) various organs, using a variety approaches [4]. Our uses touch-based registration, which Vinci’s tool tips lightly trace tissue surface and collect point cloud. This cloud is then registered to segmented medical images. We provide surgeon...
Abstract Many otologic surgeries, including cochlear implantation and mastoidectomy, require a post-auricular incision for exposure. The auricle must be retracted forward in order to enable an unobstructed view of the surgical field improve procedural outcomes. Typical methods securing ear include tape, small stitch, or assistant’s finger, depending on surgeon preference. In this paper, we propose novel design tool that retracts safely, effectively, consistently with appropriate tension...
