Book Description
To manage the influx of information into surgical practice, new man-machine interaction methods are necessary to prevent information overflow. This work presents an approach to automatically segment surgeries into phases and select the most appropriate pieces of information for the current situation. This way, assistance systems can adopt themselves to the needs of the surgeon and not the other way around.

Medical Robotics
Author: Vanja Bozovic
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3902613181
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 537
Book Description
The first generation of surgical robots are already being installed in a number of operating rooms around the world. Robotics is being introduced to medicine because it allows for unprecedented control and precision of surgical instruments in minimally invasive procedures. So far, robots have been used to position an endoscope, perform gallbladder surgery and correct gastroesophogeal reflux and heartburn. The ultimate goal of the robotic surgery field is to design a robot that can be used to perform closed-chest, beating-heart surgery. The use of robotics in surgery will expand over the next decades without any doubt. Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a revolutionary approach in surgery. In MIS, the operation is performed with instruments and viewing equipment inserted into the body through small incisions created by the surgeon, in contrast to open surgery with large incisions. This minimizes surgical trauma and damage to healthy tissue, resulting in shorter patient recovery time. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the state-of-art, to present new ideas, original results and practical experiences in this expanding area. Nevertheless, many chapters in the book concern advanced research on this growing area. The book provides critical analysis of clinical trials, assessment of the benefits and risks of the application of these technologies. This book is certainly a small sample of the research activity on Medical Robotics going on around the globe as you read it, but it surely covers a good deal of what has been done in the field recently, and as such it works as a valuable source for researchers interested in the involved subjects, whether they are currently “medical roboticists” or not.

Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 667
Book Description
Performed under general anaesthetic, laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure that allows a surgeon to access the inside of the abdomen and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin. The procedure is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery. This textbook is a complete guide to laparoscopic surgery for practising and trainee general and laparoscopic surgeons. The fourth edition has been fully revised and features many new topics, providing the latest advances in the field. Divided into six sections, the book begins with discussion on the fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery – imaging systems, instruments, sterilisation, anaesthesia, and basic techniques. The following sections cover numerous general surgical, gynaecological and urological procedures. A complete section is dedicated to paediatric laparoscopic surgery. The book concludes with discussion on bariatric surgery, complications of minimal access surgery, training, robotic surgery, endoscopic microsurgery, and future advances in the field. The comprehensive text of 900 pages, is further enhanced by surgical and clinical photographs, and illustrations. Key points Comprehensive guide to general, gynaecological, urological and paediatric laparoscopic surgery Fully revised, fourth edition featuring new topics and advances in the field Highly illustrated with clinical and surgical photographs Previous edition (9789350259412) published in 2013

Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions
Author: Nassir Navab
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642137113
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Thanks to scientific and technological advances in many parallel fields, medical procedures are rapidly evolving towards solutions which are less invasive and more effective. In the previous decades, information processing in diagnostic imaging provided many solutions to physicians in particular within radiology, neurology, cardiology, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy departments. In the last decade, progress in computer technology, imaging and mechatronics has allowed computer-assisted intervention (CAI) systems and solutions to penetrate the intervention and operating rooms. CAI’s major challenge in the beginning of the twenty-first century is real-time processing, analysis and visualization of large amount of heterogeneous, static and dynamic patient data, and understanding of surgery for designing intelligent operating rooms and developing advanced training tools. Excellent scientists, engineers and physicians have created many advanced research groups around the world and are starting to provide innovative, breakthrough solutions. Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions (IPCAI) aims at gathering the best work in this field and allowing authors to present and discuss it in detail. IPCAI wishes to select and present the highlights of research in CAI and aims at distinguishing itself for the quality of the presented papers and the excitement and depth of the discussions they generate.
