A surgical system includes an arm extending from the base and having a distal end configured to be coupled to a tool, a first marker coupled in fixed relation to the base, and a tracking system. The tracking system is configured to collect first data indicative of a position of the first marker and collect second data indicative of a position an anatomical feature of a patient. The surgical system also includes a processor configured to calculate a position of the tool relative to the anatomical feature based on the first data and the second data.

A system and method for estimating a pose of an imaging device for one or more images is provided.

Systems and methods for marking the location and extent of an anatomical region-of-interest, such as a tumor, using magnetic seeds whose position and orientation are measured or otherwise detected using a detection device that includes two or more magnetic sensors are described. One or more magnetic seeds are implanted to mark and define the center and extent of an anatomical region-of-interest and a magnetic sensor-based detector system is used to accurately identify the location of the magnetic seeds.

A head stabilization device or HFD includes a plurality of integrated markers. The HFD may be in the form of a skull clamp, vacuum bag, combinations thereof, or other supporting structure. The integrated markers include MRI markers detectable by an MRI scanner and fiducial markers detectable by a registration tool of a navigation system. The markers provide a reference point relative to an operation site in a patient for use in a navigation guided procedure and aid in registering or calibrating the location of the patient with captured images used in the navigation guided procedure.

A surgical robotic system includes: a surgical console having a display and a user input device configured to generate a user input and a surgical robotic arm having a surgical instrument configured to treat tissue and being actuatable in response to the user input; and a video camera configured to capture video data that is displayed on the display. The system also includes a control tower coupled to the surgical console and the surgical robotic arm. The control tower is configured to: process the user input to control the surgical instrument and to record the user input as input data; train a machine learning system using the input data and the video data; and execute the at least one machine learning system to determine probability of failure of the surgical instrument.

Systems and methods for inter-arm registration include a computer-assisted system having a control unit coupled to a repositionable arm of a computer-assisted device. The control unit is configured to: receive, from an imaging device, successive images of an instrument mounted to the repositionable arm; determine an observed velocity of a feature of the instrument; determine an expected velocity of the feature of the instrument based on kinematics of the repositionable arm; transform the observed velocity and/or the expected velocity to a common coordinate system using a registration transform; determine an error between directions of the observed and expected velocities in the common coordinate system; and update the registration transform based on the determined error. In some embodiments, the instrument is a medical instrument and the imaging device is an endoscope. In some embodiments, the control unit is further configured to control the instrument using the registration transform.

A system for displaying an intraoperative user interface for a surgical procedure is disclosed. The system comprises an arthroscopic imaging device, a display device, an input device, a processor, and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium. The arthroscopic imaging device is configured to capture one or more images of a patient anatomy within a joint of a patient. The input device is configured to receive input from a user. The processor is configured to receive the images from the arthroscopic imaging device and display a user interface on the display device that includes the images from the arthroscopic imaging device. The processor is also configured to receive the input from the input device, display one or more visual overlays over the one or more images based on the input, and apply one or more digital markers in a fixed location on the one or more images based on the input.

A laparoscopic surgery system calibrator and method for using the same are provided. The laparoscopic surgery system calibrator comprises a tool-retaining apparatus and at least one machine. The tool-retaining apparatus is constructed to releasably secure a surgical instrument having at least one fiducial marker thereon. The at least one machine is coupled to the tool-retaining apparatus to pivot the tool-retaining apparatus through a set of poses once the surgical instrument is secured by the tool-retaining apparatus.

Orthopedic implants, systems, instruments, and methods. A bi-portal lumbar interbody fusion system may include an expandable interbody implant and minimally invasive pedicle-based intradiscal fixation implants. The interbody and intradiscal implants may be installed with intelligent instrumentation capable of repeatably providing precision placement of the implants. The bi-portal system may be robotically-enabled to guide the instruments and implants along desired access trajectories to the surgical area.

The invention relates to a method and a system for determining a pose of at least one object in an operating theatre, in a reference coordinate system of a pose detection device of a surgical microscope, involving the determination of the pose of the object by way of a movably arranged microscope-external pose detection device in a first coordinate system, the first coordinate system being a coordinate system that is arranged to be stationary relative to the operating theatre, the determination of the pose of the reference coordinate system by the non-stationary microscope-external pose detection device in the first coordinate system, and the transformation of the pose of the object from the first coordinate system into the reference coordinate system of the pose detection device of the surgical microscope.
