SURGICAL EQUIPMENT MONITORING

Methods, systems, and apparatus for surgical equipment monitoring are disclosed. In some embodiments, an electronic health records database and a database of surgical tools is provided. At least one sensor and at least one surgical tool are used before, during, or after a surgical procedure. The at least one sensor associated with the at least one surgical tool is monitored for at least one parameter. The monitored data is compared to the expected value of that parameter for the current step in the surgical procedure from the surgical tools database. In response to determining a potential surgical complication, the system generates a notification indicating the potential surgical complication.

PATIENT-SPECIFIC GUIDES FOR LATARJET PROCEDURE
20230063081 · 2023-03-02 ·

Patient-specific guides for the Latarjet procedure, as well as surgical systems and methods of performing the Latarjet procedure to treat glenohumeral instability using such patient-specific guides are disclosed. A patient-specific coracoid guide and a patient-specific glenoid guide may be configured based on preoperatively generated three-dimensional models of the patient's shoulder anatomy. Guides may be configured for coracoid graft preparation and glenoid decortication. The coracoid graft may be placed in the desired position based on three-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning.

Tissue model dynamic visual rendering

Disclosed herein is a method of graphically presenting an indicating marker over a 3-D model of a tissue surface during a catheterization procedure, comprising determining a region over the 3-D model, deforming the indicating marker to congruently match a shape defined by the 3-D model across the region at a plurality of positions; and rendering the 3-D model into an image including the deformed indicating marker by generating an image of the 3-D model covered by said deformed indicating marker.

ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PATIENT POSITION INTRAOPERATIVELY USING RADIOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENTS
20220323159 · 2022-10-13 ·

A system and method provide for image-guided implant placement as a function of at least one intraoperative image during a surgical procedure. At least one computing device is configured by executing code stored in non-transitory processor readable media to process at least one preoperative image to assess axial rotation and/or sagittal pelvic inclination. Further, as a function of a plurality of identified anatomical landmarks in the at least one preoperative image, at least one of distances, angles, and areas is measured. Thereafter, as a function of calculations associated with the at least one of distances, angles, and areas, axial rotation associated with at least one image is measured. Thereafter, at least one value associated with placement of an implant during the surgical procedure is adjusted and information associated therewith is provided via a graphical user interface.

Personalized coronary stents

A method including generating a 3-D model of an unstenosed geometry of a blood vessel responsive to a 3-D model of an actual geometry of the blood vessel, establishing a parametric description of a stent that is expanded from a collapsed configuration to a final configuration that apposes the unstenosed geometry, developing a design for the stent by varying parameters of the parametric description responsive to a design heuristic that includes risk of stent strut breakage during a plastic deformation between the collapsed configuration and the final configuration, embodying the stent according to the design for the stent, inserting the stent into a blood vessel in its collapsed configuration, maneuvering the stent through the blood vessel to a stenosis, and expanding the stent to its final configuration.

System and method for monitoring offset during navigation-assisted surgery
11660148 · 2023-05-30 · ·

Surgical systems and methods for tracking physical objects near a target site during a surgical procedure are provided, the surgical system employs a navigation system and a surgical instrument; an instrument tracker is provided on the surgical instrument and a patient tracker is provided on the patient's target tissue; the system and method is configured to detect an error condition compromising accuracy of the navigation guidance and to track and monitor a tool-to-bone offset.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INTRA-OPERATIVE SURGICAL GUIDANCE SYSTEM

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.

SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR FORMING BIPLANAR OSTEOTOMIES

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for determining and placing a first bony segment in relation with a second bony segment, both segments belonging to the same bone, including cutting said bone partially, to separate it into the first and second bony segment. The two bony segments are linked together by a bony hinge and placing the two boney segments in relation to each other may include distracting both bony segments around said hinge. The hinge may be configured to allow distraction of both bony segments around a single degree of freedom of the hinge and accommodate corrections in two substantially orthogonal planes.

MEASUREMENT GUIDED RESURFACING DURING ROBOTIC RESECTION
20230157773 · 2023-05-25 · ·

A surgical system is provided for robotically resecting tissue. The system includes a surgical robot with an end-effector configured to remove tissue along a path up to a planned boundary. A computing system interfaces with the surgical robot and includes one or more processors, non-transient storage memory, and software executable instructions. The computing system records deviations between the end-effector and the planned boundary while the end-effector removes tissue along the path during a first pass. The system then determines if the end-effector should perform a subsequent pass along at least a portion of the path based on the recorded deviations. A method for robotically resecting tissue along a path up to a planned boundary is also provided that determined on the recorded deviations, if the end-effector should perform a subsequent pass along at least a portion of the path.

Hip Broach And Implant Designed Using Morphological Data
