Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Surgical Technology
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • Microsurgical procedures require high dexterity and specialized equipment.
  • Existing surgical training methods may lack realism and immersive feedback.
  • Telepresence systems offer potential for remote and enhanced surgical capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a telepresence microsurgery system for improved surgical performance.
  • To assess the system's efficacy in both ex-vivo simulated tasks and in-vivo animal models.
  • To create an immersive surgical training environment using a 6-DOF telepresence workstation.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a telepresence surgery workstation with micromanipulator arms.
  • Testing of a prototype microsurgery system on ex-vivo tasks (cutting, grasping, suturing, knot tying).
