This study introduces a computer guidance system to prevent collisions during single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) robotic interventions. Tested in simulations, the system enhances surgical safety by navigating robotic arms around critical organs.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Robotics
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is advancing towards Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS).
  • Robotic surgical systems are increasingly used to manage the complexity of SILS procedures.
  • Internal bimanual robots in SILS may cause unintended collisions with surrounding organs due to limited visualization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a computer guidance system for intraoperative navigation and assistance in SILS robotic interventions.
  • To enhance safety by preventing collisions between surgical robots and critical anatomical structures.
  • To provide a system compatible with various bimanual surgical robot designs.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a patient-specific computer guidance system for intraoperative navigation.
