Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Instrumentation
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) requires instruments with high dexterity and visualization.
  • Conventional endoscopes can have limitations in visualizing deep or complex anatomical regions.
  • Balancing instrument size with camera resolution is a significant challenge in MIS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel camera sheath for MIS instruments.
  • To introduce an advanced transformable head structure (ATHS) to overcome resolution-size trade-offs.
  • To improve visualization at the instrument tip during surgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Designed an advanced transformable head structure (ATHS) for the camera sheath.
  • Developed design solutions to maintain camera-instrument alignment during ATHS transformation.
  • Integrated the sheath prototype with micro-debrider blades for simulated functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).

Main Results:

  • The ATHS design ensured proper alignment between the camera's line of sight and the instrument tip direction.
  • The prototype successfully accessed and visualized deep sinus regions not observable with conventional endoscopes.
  • The camera sheath allowed instrument and camera delivery with minimal port size increase.

Conclusions:

  • The camera sheath enables effective visualization of deep surgical sites.
  • The design minimizes invasiveness by limiting port size increase.
  • This technology has potential applications across various surgical procedures to enhance surgeon's visual feedback.
