Application of virtual reality in neurosurgery: Patient missing. A systematic review

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin

Virtual reality (VR) technology had its earliest developments in the 1970s in the U.S. Air Force and has since evolved into a budding area of scientific research with many practical medical purposes. VR shows a high potential to benefit to learners and tra ...

Learning Autonomous Behaviours for the Body of a Flexible Surgical Robot

Sylvain Calinon

This paper presents a novel strategy to learn a positional controller for the body of a flexible surgical manipulator used for minimally invasive surgery. The manipulator is developed within the STIFF-FLOP European project and is targeted for a laparoscopi ...

Design and Psychophysical Evaluation of a Tactile Pulse Display for Teleoperated Artery Palpation

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Philippe Rétornaz, Laura Santos Carreras, Kaspar Leuenberger

During traditional open procedures, surgeons directly palpate tissues before dissecting them. In this way, they can avoid the accidental damage of hidden arteries that can lead to fatal hemorrhage. New Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) techniques progressi ...

Endoscopic navigation for minimally invasive suturing

Charles Baur, Gábor Székely

Manipulating small objects such as needles, screws or plates inside the human body during minimally invasive surgery can be very difficult for less experienced surgeons due to the loss of 3D depth perception. Classical navigation techniques are often incap ...

Haptic interface design and control with application to surgery simulation

Ulrich Spälter

This thesis proposes a framework for haptic devices interacting with virtual environments. As application of the theoretical results a haptic device for the surgical training of hysteroscopy, a gynecologic intervention, is presented. Surgery simulators, wh ...
