How Does Artificial Force Feedback Affect Laparoscopic Surgery Performance?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of haptic devices to provide force feedback in teleoperation has been shown to enhance performance. An experiment was conducted to examine whether artificial force feedback is utilized in the same manner as real force feedback in a simulated laparoscopic tissue-probing task. Forces in probing a double-layer silicon gel mass were replicated and exaggerated in a virtual environment using a haptic device. Ten subjects performed the probing task in four different conditions: 1) realistic force feedback, 2) exaggerated feedback, 3) disproportionately exaggerated forces, and 4) reversed and disproportionately exaggerated forces. Results showed a significantly higher maximum force, detection time and error rate in virtual probing than in real probing. Time to task completion was significantly different between the virtually realistic and exaggerated force feedback conditions. These results suggest that artificial force information may be processed differently than real haptic information, leading to higher force application, inefficiency, and reduced accuracy in tissue probing tasks.

Real-time augmented feedback benefits robotic laparoscopic training.
Robotic laparoscopic surgery has revolutionized minimally invasive surgery for treatment of abdominal pathologies. However, current training techniques rely on subjective evaluation. There is a lack of research on the type of tasks that should be used for training. Robotic surgical systems also do not currently have the ability to provide feedback to the surgeon regarding success of performing ...
متن کاملTowards Semi-autonomy in Laparoscopic Surgery through Vision and Force Feedback Control
This paper shows ongoing research results on the development of automatic control modes for robotized laparoscopic surgery. We show how both force feedback and visual feedback can be used in an hybrid control scheme to autonomously perform basic surgical subtasks. Preliminary experimental results on an example clamping tasks are given.

Laparoscopic surgery (LS) has become the standard in procedures such as cholecystectomy and splenectomy. However, LS imposes limitations in visual and haptic perceptions, and create challenges unique to this type of surgery: reduced depth perception of the operative field caused by the use of 2D monitors; poor hand-eye coordination as a result of location of the monitor, variable amplification,...

Background: During the third year general surgery clerkship, medical students are required to develop laparoscopic knot-tying skills. Knot-tying skills studies often rely on objective variables (e.g., time, materials used, number of iterations) that lend themselves to correlational analysis of pre- and post-intervention skill level. This study differs by examining how instructional intervention...

A laparoscopic surgery system by using a robot holds many problems. Among these, its inability in delivering touching sensation to a surgeon is raised as the biggest problem. The current paper attempted to find a force feedback controlling method at the time of performing movement by using one-degree of freedom (DOF) arm of slave and master system that is used in the programming based system. T...
