Robotic systems and methods are provided for trajectory guidance during surgical procedures, for example, robotically monitoring and identifying a desired trajectory of surgical access devices and implants for the purpose of preventing unintended injury to surrounding tissues, such as nerves, blood vessels, cartilage, or bone. The robotic systems and methods provided herein allow medical professionals to practice with little to no exposure of the medical professional to radiation.

A surgical robotic system includes a first robotic arm, a second robotic arm, a control tower, and a surgeon console. The first robotic arm is engaged with a first movable cart. The second robotic arm is engaged with a second movable cart. The control tower is configured to control movement of the first robotic arm. The surgeon console is configured to provide instructions to the control tower. The control tower is electrically coupled to the surgeon console via a first cable. The surgeon console is electrically coupled to the first movable cart via a second cable.

Surgical systems are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a surgical system includes a first scope device having a first portion within an extraluminal space and a second portion positioned within an intraluminal space. The first scope device transmits image data of a first scene. A second scope device is disposed within the extraluminal space and transmits image data of a second scene. The first portion of the first instrument is present within the field of view of the second scope device to track the first scope device relative to the second scope device. A controller receives the transmitted image data of the first and second scenes, to determine a relative distance from the first scope device to the second scope device within the extraluminal space, and to provide a merged image. At least one of the first and second scope device in the merged image is a representative depiction thereof.

In general, devices, systems, and methods for fiducial identification and tracking are provided.

A system, method, and apparatus for guiding an astigmatism correction procedure on an eye of a patient are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a photosensor configured to record a pre-operative still image of an ocular target surgical site of the patient. The apparatus also includes a real-time, multidimensional visualization module configured to produce a real-time multidimensional visualization of the ocular target surgical site during an astigmatism correction procedure. The apparatus further includes a data processor configured to determine a virtual indicium that includes data for guiding the astigmatism correction procedure. The data processor uses the pre-operative still image to align the virtual indicium with the multidimensional visualization such that the virtual indicium is rotationally accurate. The data processor then displays the multidimensional visualization of the ocular target surgical site in conjunction with the virtual indicium.

In general, devices, systems, and methods for multi-source imaging are provided.

Systems, devices, and methods for controlling cooperative surgical instruments with variable surgical site access trajectories are provided. Various aspects of the present disclosure provide for coordinated operation of surgical instruments accessing a common surgical site from different approach and/or separate body cavities to achieve a common surgical purpose. For example, various methods, devices, and systems disclosed herein can enable the coordinated treatment of tissue by disparate minimally invasive surgical systems that approach the tissue from varying anatomical spaces and must operate differently, but in concert with one another, to effect a desired surgical treatment.

One variation of a method for monitoring needle consumption in a surgical space during a surgery includes: accessing a sequence of images captured by a camera facing an inventory field within the surgical space; scanning the sequence of images for needle packages and needles; in response to detecting entry of a needle package into the surgical space in a first image, logging entry of the needle package, labeled as sterile, into the inventory field at a first time and incrementing a sterile packaged needle counter for the needle package according to a first quantity of sterile needles associated with a type of the needle package; and, in response to detecting removal of a first needle from the inventory field in a second image, incrementing a deployed needle counter at a second time succeeding the first time and decrementing the sterile packaged needle counter.

An image-guided tool and method for ophthalmic surgical procedures is disclosed comprising a processor, a display, an imaging system, and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor and includes an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The processor is arranged to receive from the imaging system visual images in real-time of a surgical field during the ophthalmic surgical procedure and using the AI model to extract regions of interest in the surgical field. Upon selection of a region of interest by the AI model, the AI model develops operating image features based on the surgical instruments used in the region of interest and the phase of the surgical procedure being performed. Augmented visual images are then constructed that include the real-time visual image and the image features and surgical phase information. The augmented image is displayed on the display.

An electromagnetic catheter and navigation system may include an umbilical catheter including a first electromagnetic sensor having five degrees of freedom disposed in the tip of the umbilical catheter; an ultrasound imaging system including an ultrasound probe including a second sensor; a non-contact electromagnetic field generator; a sensor interface unit in operable communication with the first electromagnetic sensor; a sensor control unit in operable communication with the sensor interface unit and the non-contact field generator; and a computing device in operable communication with the sensor control unit and the ultrasound imaging system. The system may be constructed and arranged to monitor the location and position of an umbilical catheter after insertion into an umbilical vessel via displaying on a computing device at least one of two-dimensional or three-dimensional imagery indicating the position of the umbilical catheter.
