A surgical skill training system includes: a data collecting unit configured to collect actual surgical skill data on a patient of an operating surgeon; an image providing server configured to generate a 3-dimensional (3D) surgical image for surgical skill training, based on the actual surgical skill data; and a user device configured to display the 3D surgical image, wherein the image providing server includes: a patient image generating unit configured to generate a patient image, based on patient information of the patient; a surgical stage classifying unit configured to classify the actual surgical skill data into actual surgical skill data for each surgical stage performed by the operating surgeon; and a 3D image generating unit configured to generate the 3D surgical image by using the patient image, and feature information detected from the actual surgical skill data.

A method and system perform an ophthalmic procedure on an eye having an optical path from the lens to the retina. An image of at least part of the eye is received in a data processing unit. The image includes the optical path. The data processing unit determines keep out zone(s) and identifies undesirable feature(s) based on the image. The keep out zone(s) include the retina. The data processing unit also selects one of the undesirable feature(s) for removal. At least part of the undesirable feature is outside of the keep out zone(s). Confirmation for removal of the undesirable feature is received in the data processing unit. In response to receiving the confirmation, a control unit controls a laser to perform laser removal the at least the portion of the undesirable feature without targeting any portion of the keep out zone(s).

A surgical system includes a detector, comprising an array of pixels configured to detect light reflected by a surgical instrument and generate a first signal comprising a first dataset representative of a visible image of the surgical instrument. The surgical system also includes a processor configured to receive the first signal, generate a modified image of the surgical instrument that includes a control panel. The control panel includes one or more control elements representative of one or more operating parameters of the surgical instrument. The processor is further configured to receive an input to the control panel from a user, the input being effective to change one of the operating parameters. The processor is also configured to generate a command signal based on the input to change the one of the operating parameters.

A method and apparatus for providing hand-mounted surgical tools is provided. The apparatus includes a housing configured to be mounted to a body of a user. The apparatus also includes an optical source to generate a first optical signal in an absorption spectrum of a biocompatible fluorescing dye (BFD). The apparatus also includes an optical detector to detect a second optical signal in an emission spectrum of the BFD. The apparatus also includes a processor to receive a signal from the optical detector that indicates that the second optical signal was detected by the optical detector. The processor is further configured to cause the apparatus to transmit a signal to a non-visual feedback device to cause the non-visual feedback device to output non-visual feedback to the user that the second optical signal was detected by the optical detector.

A fetal intrauterine positioning fixation device is configured for entering an amniotic cavity through a vaginal cervical fetal membrane access and/or abdominal wall uterine fetal membrane access to adjust and fix a fetal position in a maternal uterus. The fetal intrauterine positioning fixation device includes a manipulator, a mechanical arm and a surgical robot, the manipulator and mechanical arm can enter an amniotic cavity through a vaginal cervical fetal membrane channel or abdominal wall uterine fetal membrane channel, so that a doctor can control the manipulator and mechanical arm through the surgical robot or a handle to identify a fetus, adjust a fetal position and fix the fetus according to a preoperative planning, and monitor a fetal status in real time, expose a surgical treatment area, and create an operation space for implementing intrauterine fetal surgery.

Methods and systems are provided to generate metamerically matched illumination on a surgical site. The metamerically matched illumination may reduce or remove strobing effects associated with illumination devices during a surgery or surgical procedure. By metamerically matching illuminants in the illumination in combination with estimates of the human visual system, the illumination of the surgical site can visually appear to a user as a continuous white light, while maintaining distinct underlying spectra in the illumination. The light reflected by the surgical object may also be captured and metamerically matched, such that the reflected light appears as a single continuous color.

A patient tracking device for insertion into an oral cavity includes a sensor housing comprising a first surface shaped to correspond to a pallet within the oral cavity. At least a portion of the first surface affixes the sensor housing to the oral cavity. An electromagnetic sensor is coupled to the sensor housing.

A position and tracking system for radio-based localization in an operating room, includes a receiver, a mobile cart, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The mobile cart includes a robotic arm and a transmitter in operable communication with the receiver. The memory has instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to receive, from the transmitter, a signal including a position of the mobile carts in a 3D space based on the signal communicated by the transmitter and determine a spatial pose of the mobile carts based on the received signal.

An position sensor such as an IMU is removably positioned on a patient bed used to support a patient during a robotic surgical procedure in which a robotic manipulator is used to manipulate a surgical instrument. When the bed is moved during the course of surgery, signals corresponding to a sensed changed in the bed's position are received by a processor, which causes a corresponding repositioning of the robotic manipulator.

A method of calibrating a camera used for robotic surgery makes use of a target pattern positioned on a robotic manipulator. The camera to be calibrated is moved by the robotic manipulator to move the camera to a plurality of positions and orientations, ideally in closed loop fashion to maintain the target pattern within the camera's image plane. The camera captures images of the target pattern while in the plurality of positions and orientations. A processor receives the captured images and analyzes them to determine calibration parameters for the camera.
