An interactive and dynamic surgical simulation system may be used in the context of a computer-implemented interactive surgical system. The surgical simulation system may provide coordinated surgical imagining. A processor may be configured to execute a simulation of a surgical procedure. The surgical procedure may be simulated in a simulated surgical environment. The processor may generate a first visual representation and a second visual representation. The first visual representation may be of a first portion of the simulated surgical environment. The second visual representation may also be of the first portion of the simulated surgical environment. The processor may coordinate generation of the first visual representation and the second visual representation such that the first visual representation and the second visual representation correspond to a common event in the surgical procedure. And the processor may present the first visual representation and the second visual representation for user interaction within the simulated surgical environment.

A robotic surgical system may be used to perform a surgical procedure. Providing guidance for the robotic surgical system includes integrating a Point of View (PoV) surgical drill with a camera to capture a PoV image of a surgical area of a subject patient; displaying an image of the surgical area, based on a viewing angle of the PoV surgical drill, thus enabling the surgeon to operate on the surgical area using the PoV surgical drill. The PoV surgical drill operates based on the surgeon's control of a guidance drill. The content of the images may change based on a change in the viewing angle of the PoV surgical drill.

The inventive subject matter is directed to an artificial intelligence intra-operative surgical guidance system and method of use. The artificial intelligence intra-operative surgical guidance system is made of a computer executing one or more automated artificial intelligence models trained on data layer datasets collections to calculate surgical decision risks, and provide intra-operative surgical guidance; and a display configured to provide visual guidance to a user.

A surgery system includes a contactless control panel, an infrared camera, a computer and a display. The contactless control panel includes control areas which are arranged in a predetermined pattern and are coated with infrared reflective material to reflect infrared radiation. The infrared camera captures an infrared image of the control areas. The computer performs image recognition on the infrared image, determines, based on the predetermined pattern stored in advance and a result of the image recognition, which one of the control areas is masked, and generates a device control signal based on a function corresponding to the one of the control areas that is determined to be masked. The display device displays images based on the device control signal.

An apparatus for surgery preparation. The apparatus includes a tracking device for representing a surgical instrument, a display device for displaying a subject for surgery and one or more processors arranged to receive signals corresponding to the tracking device to determine the position of a virtual surgical instrument following the movement of the tracking device. A model is generated for three-dimensional representation of a tissue corresponding to the subject for surgery, the model having plurality of tissue elements arranged to together represent the tissue. A method for utilizing a tracking device for representing a surgical instrument is also disclosed.

An exemplary system is configured to obtain anatomical characteristic data representative of a characteristic associated with an anatomical surface to be covered by a physical medical element, the anatomical surface within an internal space of a patient and determine, based on the anatomical characteristic data, a placement guidance parameter set. The placement guidance parameter set may include one or more parameters configured to guide a placement of the physical medical element on the anatomical surface with one or more surgical instruments controlled by a computer-assisted surgical system.

The present technology relates to devices and systems for multidimensional data visualization and interaction in an augmented reality, virtual reality, or mixed reality image guided surgery. The disclosed embodiment provides a tool for a physician or other medical specialist to load and review medical scans in an AR/VR/MR environment, assisting medical diagnostics, surgical planning, medical education, or patient engagement.

Disclosed herein is a system and a method for registering a surgical site to a surgical navigation system when the surgical site contains an implant for revision joint replacement surgery. The method creates a depth map of the surgical site and provides a possible identification of the existing implant using surface matching algorithms. The model of the implant is iteratively oriented with respect to the to the depth map until an optimal fit is achieved. Once the implant has been identified and localized, the registered landmarks are used in robotic-assisted surgery.

Apparatus and methods are provided for performing a medical procedure using a stapler apparatus including a reusable handle portion including a shaft include proximal and distal ends, a disposable end effector attached to the distal end of the shaft of the reusable handle carrying one or more staples. For example, the end effector may include first and second jaws movable relative to one another between open and closed positions, the first jaw carrying a cartridge which includes the one or more staples. A Doppler sensor, cutting element, thermal element, and/or grasper may be provided on the end effector. The end effector is introduced into a patient's body, tissue is positioned/locked between the jaws, and a plurality of staples are deployed into the tissue. The Doppler sensor is used to confirm that blood flow has discontinued in the stapled tissue, and the cutting element is actuated to sever the stapled tissue.

A method and apparatus for identifying blood vessels in ultrasound images and displaying blood vessels in ultrasound images are described. In some embodiments, the method is implemented by a computing device and includes receiving ultrasound images that include a blood vessel, and determining, with a neural network implemented at least partially in hardware of the computing device, diameters of the blood vessel in the ultrasound images. The diameters include a respective diameter of the blood vessel for each ultrasound image of the ultrasound images. The method includes determining a blood vessel diameter based on the diameters of the blood vessel, selecting a color based on the blood vessel diameter, and indicating, in one of the ultrasound images, the blood vessel with an indicator having the color.
