New horizons for patient safety: LIGRA (LIfe Guard for Robotic surgery Assistance) An interactive platform centralizing information and control in robotic surgery Operating Rooms

Hannes Bleuler

The present paper describes LIGRA, an innovative technological solution developed in the context of the SAFROS co-funded EU project. Its general goal is to improve patient safety during minimal invasive robotic surgery. Focusing on the risks introduced in ...

Increasing Haptic Fidelity and Ergonomics in Teleoperated Surgery

Laura Santos Carreras

Over the past few decades, surgical procedures have made enormous progress, shifting from traditional open procedures to less and less invasive approaches, with the promise of smaller incisions, less complications, better cosmetic results and shorter recov ...

Robotic system for cervical spine surgery

Charles Baur

Background In contemporary surgical clinical practice, spinal instability is often treated with mechanical stabilization techniques in order to protect the spinal cord and nerve roots. These techniques involve placing screws in defined regions of the verte ...

Modern cataract surgery for radiation-induced cataracts in retinoblastoma

Alessia Pica

Background Surgery of radiation-induced cataracts in children with retinoblastoma (RB) is a challenge as early intervention is weighted against the need to delay surgery until complete tumour control is obtained. This study analyses the safety and function ...

Survey on Surgical Instrument Handle Design: Ergonomics and Acceptance

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Laura Santos Carreras

Minimally invasive surgical approaches have revolutionized surgical care and considerably improved surgical outcomes. The instrumentation has changed significantly from open to laparoscopic and robotic surgery with various usability and ergonomics qualitie ...

Regional cortical volumes and congenital heart disease: a MRI study in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Marie Schaer, Maude Schneider

Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) who survive surgery often present impaired neurodevelopment and qualitative brain anomalies. However, the impact of CHD on total or regional brain volumes only received little attention. We address this question ...

VR simulation of interventional radiology and microsurgery

Fei Wang

Currently trainees typically learn surgery techniques directly on mocks, animals or cadavers. For safety, cost and ethics reasons, one cannot try all possible strategies to achieve efficient learning. Virtual Reality (VR) based surgery training systems int ...

See the Brain at Work—Intraoperative Laser Doppler Functional Brain Imaging

Michaël Unser, Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Rainer Leitgeb, Antonio Lopez, Erica Martin-Williams

During open brain surgery we acquire perfusion images non-invasively using laser Doppler imaging. The regions of brain activity show a distinct signal in response to stimulation providing intraoperative functional brain maps of remarkably strong contrast. ...

Post-Surgical Interval And Lesion Location Within The Limbic Thalamus Determine Extent Of Retrosplenial Cortex Immediate-Early Gene Hypoactivity

Guillaume Poirier

Four experiments examined the disruptive effects of selective lesions in limbic thalamic nuclei on retrosplenial cortex function, as characterized by striking changes in immediate-early gene activity. Major goals were to test the specificity of these retro ...

Modélisation mécanique de fils pour la simulation chirurgicale

Lindo Robert Duratti

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents one of the major progresses in surgery in the last decade. In general, it is based on the application of small body-cuts through which instruments are inserted into the patient's body allowing the surgeon to carr ...
