This study introduces a novel system for retinal surgery that uses stereo microscope images to detect unintended tool-retina collisions. This proximity sensing technology enhances surgical safety by providing real-time alerts to prevent retinal damage.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Engineering
  • Surgical Robotics

Background:

  • Retinal surgery presents challenges like poor visualization, surgeon tremor, and lack of tactile feedback, increasing risks of iatrogenic retinal damage.
  • Intraocular proximity sensing offers a promising solution to mitigate these limitations and improve surgical safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a system for detecting unintentional collisions between surgical tools and the retina during ophthalmic surgery.
  • To leverage visual feedback from stereo microscopes for enhanced intraocular proximity sensing.

Main Methods:

  • A two-module system was developed: one for tracking surgical tool position in stereo images, and another for estimating retinal surface stereo disparity.
  • The system was specifically designed to handle the difficult visualization conditions encountered in retinal surgery.

  • Validation was performed using a silicon phantom eye and in vivo rabbit retinal data.

    • Main Results:

    • The system successfully detected proximity between surgical tools and the retinal surface by analyzing stereo image disparity.
    • The developed modules effectively operated under challenging visualization conditions typical of retinal procedures.
    • Experimental testing demonstrated the system's potential clinical utility.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed intraocular proximity sensing system can significantly enhance surgical safety in retinal procedures.
    • Real-time detection of tool-retina proximity using stereo vision can prevent accidental surgical gestures and reduce retinal damage.
    • This technology holds promise for improving outcomes in complex ophthalmic surgeries.
