The capability of haptic feedback as additional sensory quality for robotic heart surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The implementation of telemanipulator systems into cardiac surgery enabled the heart surgeon to perform sophisticated minimally invasive and endoscopic procedures with high precision under stereoscopic view. At present, the commercially available robotic surgical systems do not provide force feedback for the operating surgeon. The lack of tactile feedback may cause damage of tissue and bending or breaking of suture material. For further improvement of telemanipulated systems, we implemented haptic into a realistic experimental platform. Force-feedback is evaluated in a model of robotic heart surgery. The robotic scenario offers an impression very similar to usual and open procedures with high immersion. It enables the surgeon to palpate arteriosclerosis, to tie surgical knots with delicate suture material and to feel the break of suture material. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of haptic feedback in typical cardiac surgical procedures and the influence on the fatigue of surgeons.

Evaluation of haptic in robotic heart surgery
The introduction of telemanipulator systems into cardiac surgery enables the heart surgeon to perform sophisticated mini-invasive and endoscopic procedures with high precision under stereoscopic view. At present, the commercially available robotic surgical systems do not dispose of force feedback for the operating surgeon. The lack of haptic (force or tactile) feedback causes damage of tissue a...
متن کاملSensory subtraction via cutaneous feedback: a novel technique to improve the transparency of robotic surgery
In this paper we present a novel technique to force feedback in robot-assisted surgery. It consists of substituting haptic force, composed by kinesthetic and cutaneous components, with cutaneous stimuli only. The force generated can be thus thought as a subtraction between the complete haptic interaction, cutaneous and kinesthetic, and the kinesthetic part of it. For this reason, we refer to th...
متن کاملGaze-Contingent Motor Channelling and Haptic Constraints for Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery
The use of master-slave surgical robots for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has created a physical separation between the surgeon and the patient. Reconnecting the essential visuomotor sensory feedback is important for the safe practice of robotic assisted MIS procedures. This paper introduces a novel gaze contingent framework with real-time haptic feedback by transforming visual sensory infor...
متن کاملEvaluation of Force Feedback in Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery
⎯ Despite the fact that minimally invasive robotic surgery provides many advantages for patients like reduced trauma and shorter recovery times, the lack of force feedback complicates the application of available surgery systems. We present an evaluation platform which emulates the functionality of such a system. Additionally it is extended by a high fidelity force sensory and feedback. For eva...

The implementation of telemanipulator systems for cardiac surgery enabled heart surgeons to perform delicate minimally invasive procedures with high precision under stereoscopic view. At present, commercially available systems do not provide force-feedback or Cartesian control for the operating surgeon. The lack of haptic feedback may cause damage to tissue and can cause breaks of suture materi...
