FORMING A CUSTOM FITTED MESH BASED ON A TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP OF A PATIENT'S ABDOMINAL CAVITY
The present disclosure relates generally to hernia repair, and more specifically to forming a custom fitted mesh based on a topographical map of at least one portion of a patient's abdominal cavity. Some specific aspects of the present disclosure relate to exemplary methods, systems, devices and computer readable mediums for forming a custom fitted mesh based on a topographical map of the at least one portion of the patient's abdominal cavity.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DISPLAYING PREOPERATIVE AND INTRAOPERATIVE IMAGE DATA OF A SCENE
Mediated-reality imaging systems, methods, and devices are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an imaging system includes a camera array configured to (i) capture intraoperative image data of a surgical scene in substantially real-time and (ii) track a tool through the scene. The imaging system is further configured to receive and/or store preoperative image data, such as medical scan data corresponding to a portion of a patient in the scene. The imaging device can register the preoperative image data to the intraoperative image data, and display the preoperative image data and a representation of the tool on a user interface, such as a head-mounted display.
Stereotactic Computer Assisted Surgery Method and System
A computer assisted surgical system that includes an apparatus for imaging a region of interest of a portion of an anatomy of a subject; a memory containing executable instructions; and a processor programmed using the instructions to receive two or more two-dimensional images of the region of interest taken at different angles from the apparatus and process the two or more two-dimensional images to produce three dimensional information associated with the region of interest.
SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND MEDIA FOR SELECTIVELY PRESENTING IMAGES CAPTURED BY CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMICROSCOPY
In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, systems, methods, and media for selectively presenting images captured by confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) are provided. In some embodiments, a method comprises: receiving images captured by a CLE device during brain surgery; providing the images to a convolution neural network (CNN) trained using at least a plurality of images of brain tissue captured by a CLE device and labeled diagnostic or non-diagnostic; receiving an indication, from the CNN, likelihoods that the images are diagnostic images; determining, based on the likelihoods, which of the images are diagnostic images; and in response to determining that an image is a diagnostic image, causing the image to be presented during the brain surgery.
Systems and methods for detection of objects within a field of view of an image capture device
Robotic surgical systems and methods of operating robotic surgical systems are included. The methods include directing light at an optical element configured to be detected by an image capture device of the robotic surgical system, the optical element configured to reflect light having a wavelength within a predetermined range, detecting, using an image capture device capturing images of the optical element, an absence or a presence of the reflected light from the optical element, and providing a notification, in response to the detection by the image capture device of the absence of the reflected light from the optical element.
Surgical RFID assemblies for display and communication
A control system for a surgical instrument for use with a surgical system. The surgical system includes a first device and a second device, which can include a surgical hub, a visualization system, or a robotic system. The control system includes an RFID scanner and a control circuit coupled to the RFID scanner. The control circuit is configured to receive data from RFID tags associated with the devices, determine a communication protocol for communicating with the devices, and accordingly cause the surgical instrument to utilize the determined communication protocol to establish a communication link between the surgical instrument and the devices.
X-WING ENHANCED GUIDANCE SYSTEM FOR DISTAL TARGETING
A surgical instrument assembly configured to display a representation of the surgical instrument relative to a trajectory (e.g., a desired trajectory for drilling into an implant) based image data from an image sensor (e.g., a camera). For example, the surgical instrument assembly may be configured to determine a desired trajectory (e.g., a central axis of a distal hole of an intramedullary nail) based on X-ray image data representing at least one fiducial marker (e.g., an array of ArUco markers) and representing an anatomical structure and/or an implant. The surgical instrument assembly may in real time display a representation of the orientation and/or position of the surgical instrument (e.g., the orientation and position of a drill bit of the surgical instrument) in relation to the desired trajectory based on image sensor data that is generated based on an orientation of the at least one fiducial marker detected by an image sensor.
Safety systems for smart powered surgical stapling
A surgical system includes a control circuit, a surgical instrument, and a user interface is disclosed. The surgical instrument includes a plurality of components and a sensor. Each of the plurality of components of the surgical instrument includes a device parameter and is configured to transmit its respective device parameter to the control circuit. The sensor of the surgical instrument is configured to detect a tissue parameter associated with a proposed function of the surgical instrument, and transmit the detected tissue parameter to the control circuit. The control circuit is configured to analyze the detected tissue parameter in cooperation with each respective device parameter based on a system-defined constraint. The user interface is configured to indicate whether the surgical instrument comprising the plurality of components is appropriate to perform the proposed function.
Surgical instrument utilizing drive signal to power secondary function
A surgical instrument connectable to a surgical energy module that is configured to provide a first drive signal at a first frequency range for driving a first energy modality and a second drive signal at a second frequency range for driving a second energy modality is provided. The surgical instrument can comprise a surgical instrument component configured to receive power from a direct current (DC) power source, an end effector, and a circuit. The circuit can be configured to convert the first electrical signal to a DC voltage, apply the DC voltage to the surgical instrument component, and deliver the second energy modality to the end effector according to the second drive signal. Alternatively, the circuit can be disposed within a cable assembly configured to connect the surgical instrument to the surgical energy module.
Consolidated user interface for modular energy system
A modular energy system including a header module configured to removably connect to an energy module. The energy module can comprise a port configured to deliver one or more energy modalities to a surgical instrument connected thereto. The header module can comprise a display screen configured to display a user interface. The header module can further include a control circuit configured to detect attachment of energy modules to the modular energy system and control the display of the user interface to display UI portions for each connected module and reconfigure the displayed UI portions to accommodate the new UI portions as additional energy modules are connected to the modular energy system.
