Motion Tracking for Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery is a modern surgical technique in which the instruments are inserted into the patient through small incisions. An endoscopic camera provides the view to the site of surgery inside the patient. While the patient benefits from strongly reduced tissue traumatisation, the surgeon has to cope with a number of disadvantages. These drawbacks arise from the fact that, in cont...

Motion Compensation in Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery

Minimally invasive beating heart surgery allows a very sparing operation, but increases the requirements for the surgeon: The remaining motion of the mechanically stabilized beating heart makes fast and safe surgery difficult. The goal of an advanced robotic surgery system is to compensate for this motion. This work presents control and vision algorithms necessary for such novel robotic surgery...
