AI Technical Summary
Existing surgical imaging systems struggle to recognize and convey information about concealed structures and dimensions within a three-dimensional space, leading to incomplete views and uncertain decision-making during surgical procedures.
A surgical system incorporating a first and second scope device, a tracking device, and a controller to generate a merged image of the surgical site, providing enhanced visualization by integrating data from both devices and tracking their relative positions and orientations, along with optional robotic assistance.
Enables improved visualization and control of surgical tools, allowing for smart dissection, anastomosis, and tissue characterization, enhancing surgical precision and reducing the risk of damage to critical structures.
