Download or read book Robotic and Haptic Assistance for Kidney Access During Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy written by Olivia Wilz and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure for removing kidney stones. Gaining kidney access is the most challenging task in this procedure and the cause of many complications. This thesis presents semi-autonomous solutions for improving PCNL procedure outcomes. First, a cyber-physical PCNL simulator incorporating haptic feedback and simplifying surgeon mental workload via teleoperation of a nephroscope, the surgeon controls the tooltip position while a robotic agent controls its orientation. This thesis then explores how subtask automation can further improve the procedure. A multi-objective path planning algorithm is implemented to generate multiple suitable paths for kidney access, from which an expert surgeon selects one for execution. The robotic agent then steers the tool along the path autonomously. A further advancement adds a tool/tissue interaction model which determines tool bending; thereby providing accurate trajectory tracking. The concepts are validated experimentally in ex-vivo and phantom tissues.

Download or read book Anesthesia for Urologic Surgery written by Daniel M. Gainsburg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a concise, up-to-date reference on anesthesia for urological surgery. Urological anesthesia is not recognized as a specialty, and a majority of anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists will provide anesthesia for these patients. Advances in urological procedures, the advent of treatment of patients with strong anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications, and the demographics of urology patients (many of whom are young or elderly) present challenges for the anesthesiologist and have necessitated changes in anesthesia practice. The last volume on this topic was published in 2000, and the time is right for a fresh presentation of contemporary expertise in anesthesia for urological surgery. The book provides a brief review of renal physiology and pharmacology then addresses anesthesia for each major group of urological procedures (e.g., endoscopic, office-based, laparoscopic and robotic, nephrolithotripsy, renal transplantation, etc.) and in special populations, including the geriatric patient, the pediatric patient, and the pregnant patient. Separate chapters discuss the unique challenges of positioning the patient, and of managing the patient taking anticoagulant and antiplatelet medication, and the chapter on pain management addresses common and important perioperative concerns.

Download or read book Digital Surgery written by Sam Atallah and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a trove of insightful perspectives on the current state and the realization of digital surgery. Digital surgery entails the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning toward automation in robotic-assisted surgery. More generally, the objective is to digitally define the patient, the surgical field, and the surgical problem or task at hand; to operate based on information, rather than based on anatomic planes alone. But digital surgery has shapeshifted into other, equally intriguing faces – many of which are exemplified by topics throughout this book. Digital surgery is fundamental to 3D-printed organs, mind-controlled limbs, image-guided navigation, and tele-mentoring. It is the key that unlocks the metaphorical doorway to surgical access, thereby creating a global framework for surgical training, education, planning, and much more. This text provides methods of measurement and perception outside of the human umwelt – including the ability to visualize fields beyond the visible light spectrum, via near infrared fluorescent organic dyes which are rapidly being bioengineered to target specific tumors, as well as native anatomic structures of interest. Written by experts in the field, Digital Surgery is designed to help surgeons operate with an enriched understanding of an individual’s specific attributes: including the human phenome, physiome, microbiome, genome, and epigenome. It also aids surgeons in harnessing the power and fluidity of the cloud, which is emerging as a significant resource for surgeons both regionally and globally.
