This system is composed by mechanical telemanipulators, with master-slave configurations, working together with suitable solutions for image acquisition and display, which are able to transmit, with optional magnification, images from the surgical area to the surgeon. Therefore, the surgeon's capacities and comfort are increased by enhancing the surgeon's motor and visual skills as well as the ergonomics while doing different surgical tasks through access incisions on the patient body. Aside from offering improved performance during procedures involving microsurgical techniques, this system also brings safety, intuitiveness, and cost-effectiveness advantages over current alternatives. Due to the compatibility with current visualization systems for microsurgery, together with the light weight and the compact configuration of the mechanical telemanipulator, this surgical system can be very easily brought to and removed from the surgical area, which enables its intermittent use on several surgical procedures requiring microsurgical techniques. Therefore, it does not require drastic changes in the workflow and setup of current operating rooms and can be more easily adopted by several surgical teams.

CAMERA DEVICE

A camera device includes a camera head that captures an observation image of a target site which is obtained by a surgical microscope, and a camera control unit that processes a signal of the observation video captured by the camera head. The camera head captures right and left observation images having a parallax from the surgical microscope to obtain a high-resolution observation video including right and left parallax videos for one screen, and the camera control unit cuts out the right parallax video and the left parallax video from the observation video including the right and left parallax videos to generate a high-resolution 3D video which is displayed on a monitor in 3D and with which stereoscopic observation can be performed.

Intraoperative near-infrared-I and near-infrared-II multi-spectral fluorescent navigation system and method of using the same

An intraoperative near-infrared-I and near-infrared-II multi-spectral fluorescent navigation system and method of using same includes a light source module for emitting white light and excitation light for illuminating tissue to be tested to generate an emission light. An optical information collection module includes a white light camera for collecting the white light image, and near infrared-I and near infrared-II fluorescence cameras for collecting the near infrared-I and near infrared-II fluorescence images.
