SURGICAL SEALING DEVICES FOR A NATURAL BODY ORIFICE
Surgical sealing ports for use with surgical instruments for access of a natural body orifice are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a surgical sealing port includes a seal housing and at least one retention element. The seal housing is configured to be at least partially disposed within a natural body orifice and defining a plurality of ports. The plurality of ports includes at least one first port configured to control the ingress and egress of fluid between an interior volume of the natural body orifice and an ambient environment, and at least one second port that is configured to form a seal around an instrument inserted therethrough. The at least one retention element is arranged on an exterior surface of the housing and configured to affix the housing to the natural body orifice. Methods for using the same are also provided.
SURGICAL DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS USING MULTI-SOURCE IMAGING
In general, devices, systems, and methods for multi-source imaging are provided.
Medical three-dimensional (3D) scanning and mapping system
Systems and methods for three-dimensional imaging, modeling, mapping, and/or control capabilities in compact size suitable for integration with and/or augmentation of robotic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic surgical systems. The systems including at least one optical source configured to project onto a surgical or endoscopic environment, and at least one camera positioned to capture at least one image of the surgical or endoscopic environment.
COMPOUND-EYE ENDOSCOPE
A compound-eye endoscope includes two or more image-capturing modules, a sub-frame, and an outer shell. The two or more image-capturing modules are formed in the same outer shape, and each of the image-capturing modules includes a lens barrel housing an optical system, an image sensor, and a sensor holding member that relatively fixes the lens barrel and the image sensor. The sub-frame relatively fixes each of the two or more image-capturing modules. The outer shell accommodates and fixes the sub-frame and the two or more image-capturing modules.
Compensation for observer movement in robotic surgical systems having stereoscopic displays
Systems and methods for compensating for observer movement during robotic surgery. An exemplary system includes an image capture device configured to capture images of a surgical site, a stereoscopic display device, a sensor configured to detect positions of an observer, and a computing device including a processor and a memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to receive the images of the surgical site from the image capture device, receive data from the sensor indicating a position of the observer, process the received images of the surgical site based on the movement of the observer, and cause the stereoscopic display device to display the processed images of the surgical site.
MEDICAL IMAGING APPARATUS, LEARNING MODEL GENERATION METHOD, AND LEARNING MODEL GENERATION PROGRAM
Systems and methods can comprise or involve predicting future movement information for a medical articulating arm using a learned model generated based on learned previous movement information from a prior non-autonomous trajectory of the medical articulating arm performed in response to operator input and using current movement information for the medical articulating arm, generating control signaling to autonomously control movement of the medical articulating arm in accordance with the predicted future movement information for the medical articulating arm, and autonomously controlling the movement of the medical articulating arm in accordance with the predicted future movement information for the medical articulating arm based on the generated control signaling.
Systems and methods for augmented reality based surgical navigation
The present disclosure involves object recognition as a method of registration, using a stereoscopic camera on Augmented Reality (AR) glasses or an endoscope as the image capture technology. Exemplary objects include surgical tools, anatomical components or features, such as bone or cartilage, etc. By detecting just a portion of the object in the image data of the surgical scene, the present disclosure may register and track a portion of the patient's anatomy, such as the pelvis, the knee, etc. The present disclosure also optionally displays information on the AR glasses themselves, such as the entire pelvis, the femur, the tibia, etc. The present disclosure may include combinations of the foregoing features, and may eliminate the need for electromagnetic, inertial, or infrared stereoscopic tracking as the tracking technology.
SURGICAL VISUALIZATION SYSTEM WITH FIELD OF VIEW WINDOWING
A surgical visualization system comprises: (a) a set of one or more imaging devices, wherein the set of one or more imaging devices is adapted to capture a view of an interior of a cavity of a patient; (b) a display; and (c) a processor in operative communication with the set of one or more imaging devices and the display, wherein the processor is configured to present an interface on the display, the interface comprising a second field of view of the interior of the cavity of the patient, wherein the second field of view is comprised by the first field of view.
SURGICAL VISUALIZATION IMAGE ENHANCEMENT
A surgical visualization system may capture images of an interior of a cavity of a patient with a plurality of cameras. Those images may subsequently be used to create a three dimensional point cloud representing the interior of the cavity of the patient. This point cloud may then be used as a basis for displaying a representation of the interior of the cavity of the patient, which representation may be manipulated or viewed from different perspectives without necessarily requiring movement of any physical camera.
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR DISPLAYING GUIDANCE INFORMATION IN A PLURALITY OF MODES DURING AN IMAGE-GUIDED PROCEDURE
A method for displaying guidance information using a graphical user interface during an medical procedure comprises displaying, in a first mode of the graphical user interface, first image data from a perspective corresponding to a distal end of an elongate device. The first image data includes a virtual roadmap. The method also comprises transitioning from the first mode of the graphical user interface to a second mode of the graphical user interface. The transition is based on an occurrence of a triggering condition. The method also comprises displaying, in the second mode of the graphical user interface, second image data from a perspective corresponding to the distal end of the elongate device. The second image data includes a target indicator corresponding to a target location and an alignment indicator corresponding to an expected location of the medical procedure at the target location.
