Portable surgical systems, methods, and kits are described. The surgical systems may include a camera configured to capture images, viewing equipment configured to receive and display the captured images, a processor, and a stand. The camera, the viewing equipment, the processor, and the stand are configured to be housed in a case. Surgery may be performed using the surgical system by retrieving surgical components from the case, assembling the retrieved surgical components into a surgical system, positioning a patient within the surgical system for surgery, configuring the surgical system, performing the surgery with the surgical system, reconfiguring the surgical system during the surgery, disassembling the surgical system after the surgery, and placing the components in the case.

In various examples, a dental and medical loupe system for lighting control, streaming, and augmented reality (AR) assisted procedures is provided. Facial recognition algorithms and/or inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors may be used to determine when a light disposed on eye-glasses of a wearer should be activated. As a result, instead of requiring a medical practitioner to manually turn on and off the light source, facial recognition may be used to determine when the dentist is looking toward a face of a patient, and to turn on the light when a face is present and off when a face is not present. In addition, some examples leverage augmented reality (AR) functionality to overlay patient and procedure information on one or more lenses of eye-glasses worn by a practitioner to allow for an un-occluded view of the actual location where the procedure is being performed.

Head-mounted accessories for surgeons and medical/dental practitioners are equipped with no-touch controls including, in different embodiments, passive and active infrared detection, voice operation, and capacitive proximity control. Compared to infrared, capacitive proximity control may be more omni-directional, whereas IR, particularly active IR, tends to be more effective in a cone of operation. Compared to voice activation, capacitive sensing is less expensive and less prone to false activation based upon ambient noise or other voices. The invention may be used to control other medical/dental accessories such as a head-mounted video camera, in which case the controller is further operative to at least turn the video camera ON or OFF. More preferably, a controller is additionally operative to control the focus or zoom of the video camera in accordance with touch-free commands.

An endoscope has a pannable camera at the distal end of its insertion shaft, the pannable camera assembly being pivotable to provide a range of a field of view that can be equal to or greater than 180 degrees. A terminal light emitting element may be mounted to the camera assembly in order to illuminate the immediate field of view of the camera sensor regardless of the rotational position of the camera assembly. A fluid-carrying conduit of the insertion section may also be used to house functional components, including the camera assembly, actuation cables, a communications cable connected to the camera sensor, and/or a fiberoptic cable providing light to the light emitting element. A distal section of the endoscope handle may be rotatable relative to a proximal handheld section of the endo scope handle, a rotary encoder being provided to convert the rotational position of the insertion shaft relative to the handle into a signal for the purpose of image orientation correction by an electronic processor.

[Problem] Enabling suppressing of emission of unnecessary illumination light and concentrating the illumination light on a necessary region while suppressing the hindrance of user's movement. [Solution] There is provided a surgical observation device including: an imaging unit that captures an image of a surgical region being an observation target and thereby outputs a captured image; an irradiation unit that irradiates the surgical region with illumination light; an arm unit including a plurality of links and one or more joints connecting the plurality of links and configured to hold, at one end, the imaging unit and the irradiation unit; and a support unit connected to the other end of the arm unit and configured to support the arm unit, in which the support unit has a light source unit an irradiation optical system, the arm unit has an optical waveguide that guides a light beam emitted from the light source unit and passing through the irradiation optical system to the irradiation unit, and the irradiation optical system sets a variable irradiation range of the illumination light emitted by the irradiation unit.

Apparatuses and methods for electrohydraulic generation of shockwaves at a rate of between 10 Hz and 5 MHz, and/or that permit a user to view a region of a patient comprising target cells during application of generated shockwaves to the region. Methods of applying electro-hydraulically generated shockwaves to target tissues (e.g., for reducing the appearance of tattoos, treatment or reduction of certain conditions and/or maladies).

A surgical device includes one or more cameras integrated therein. The view of each of the one or more cameras can be integrated together and provided to a surgeon display and/or an assistant display. A surgical tool that includes an integrated camera may be used in conjunction with the surgical device. The image produced by the camera integrated with the surgical tool may be associated with the images generated by the one or more cameras integrated in the surgical device. The position and orientation of the cameras and/or the surgical tool can be tracked, and the surgical tool can be rendered as at least partially transparent. A surgical device may be powered by a hydraulic system, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference with tracking devices.

This application concerns a loupe-based wearable device that is enhanced by a mounted visualization aid on the housing body of at least one of the loupe eyepieces, the aid providing a dual light source, a beam splitter, and a camera directed in the same optical path as a user's eyesight such that both visible light and fluorescent dye exciting light can be directed at a site of operation to enhance real time visualization of tissue resection.

An aesthetic treatment device uses multiple light sources, lasers or LEDs focused on the treatment area from different directions. The multiple light sources for treatment purposes could have the same wavelength or different wavelengths each optimized for a different application. Target selection is performed by a dual wavelength smart illumination system combined with an imaging system, a smart processor for target recognition and a scanning system that directs the focused light from laser sources to an automatically selected treatment area. A motorized optical system performs a dual role of: focusing the laser sources and also steering the focused light to specific locations as designated by the imaging and processing systems.

Head-mounted accessories for surgeons and medical/dental practitioners are equipped with no-touch, hands-free controls. A voice-activated headlamp includes a controller operative to send a signal to control a light source in accordance with a voice command received through an integrated or remote microphone. The voice command and control may be speaker-dependent or speaker-independent, and the head-mounted unit may include an interface to a computer for voice-command training or other purposes. The head-mounted unit includes a memory for storing the voice commands. The invention may be used to control other medical/dental accessories such as a head-mounted video camera, in which case the controller is further operative to at least turn the video camera ON or OFF. More preferably, a controller is additionally operative to control the focus or zoom of the video camera in accordance with a voice command.
