DEEP REINFORCEMENT LEARNING FOR ROBOT-ASSISTED SURGICAL TRAINING
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has the advantage of smaller incision sizes and faster recovery compared to open surgery. Dexterous and complex surgical tools are needed to overcome the limits to operational motion due to smaller incisions. There is also a need to have proficient operation skill …

Analysis of Ergonomics and Highly Non-linear Dynamics of Surgical Motions and Muscle Activations in Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is becoming increasing popular and widely adopted on account of relative post-operative advantages (shorter hospital stays, less scarification, trauma and post-operative pain) it offers patients when compared to open surgery. Nonetheless, the surge in demand for MIS …

Investigating the role of simulation fidelity in laparascopic surgical training
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), with its aptitude for quick recovery and minimal scarring, has revolutionized surgery over the past few years. As a result, the development of a VR-based surgical trainer for MIS has been a popular area of research. However, there still remains a fundamental …

MUSCLE FATIGUE ANALYSIS IN MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY
… as limited work volume and degree of freedom, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is ergonomically challenging to surgeons than traditional open surgery. Specifically, MIS can expose performing surgeons to excessive ergonomic risks including muscle fatigue that may lead to critical errors in …

On-the-fly dense 3D surface reconstruction for geometry-aware augmented reality.
… this approach is prone to fail in challenging Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) scenes such as the presence of deformation and surgical smoke. We subsequently adopt stereo vision with SLAM for more accurate and robust results. With the success of deep learning technology in recent years, we …

ROBOTIC TELESURGERY: AN INVESTIGATION OF UTILITY, HUMAN ADAPTATION, AND PERFORMANCE
Robotic surgery is a powerful, new method for performing minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The method allows complex procedures through incisions which are 10 mm or less. Robotic surgery has grown rapidly because small MIS incisions result in rapid patient recovery compared to conventional methods. …

Use of Predictive Analytics to Identify Risk of Postoperative Complications among the Women Undergoing the Hysterectomy Surgery for Endometrial Cancer
… care for the treatment of EC is a hysterectomy surgery [2] that involves the surgical removal of the uterus. There are two types of hysterectomy surgery [8]: open or laparotomy and minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Regardless of a type, the EC surgery may entail postoperative complications [3]. …

Tethered Magnetic Serial Robots for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery
… to the centimeter scale, enabling a new suite of minimally-invasive techniques for a wide variety of medical procedures. There is a significant demand for smaller, more manoeuvrable, surgical robot tools to reduce the invasiveness of neurosurgical procedures. A magnetic approach to surgical robots …
