Fine Wrist Control as a Marker of Surgical Teleoperation Expertise
Mary Kate Gale, Shujiro Shobayashi, Sangeet Satpathy +3
Unlike most intensely physical pursuits, surgical robotic teleoperation training focuses primarily on task outcomes rather than surgeon body posture or biomechanics during task com…
Effect of Performance Feedback Timing on Motor Learning for a Surgical Training Task
Mary Kate Gale, Kailana Baker-Matsuoka, Ilana Nisky +1
Objective: Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) has become the gold standard for a variety of surgical procedures, but the optimal method of training surgeons for RMIS…
Advances in Compliance Detection: Novel Models Using Vision-Based Tactile Sensors
Ziteng Li, Malte Kuhlmann, Ilana Nisky +1
Compliance is a critical parameter for describing objects in engineering, agriculture, and biomedical applications. Traditional compliance detection methods are limited by their la…
Video-Based Detection and Analysis of Errors in Robotic Surgical Training
Hanna Kossowsky Lev, Yarden Sharon, Alex Geftler +1
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgeries offer many advantages but require complex motor tasks that take surgeons years to master. There is currently a lack of knowledge on how…
Dataset and Analysis of Long-Term Skill Acquisition in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery
Yarden Sharon, Alex Geftler, Hanna Kossowsky Lev +1
Objective: We aim to investigate long-term robotic surgical skill acquisition among surgical residents and the effects of training intervals and fatigue on performance. Methods: Fo…
Bowel Incision Closure with a Semi-Automated Robot-Assisted Laser Tissue Soldering System
Shani Arusi, Max Platkov, Barak Rosenberg +7
Traditional methods for closing gastrointestinal (GI) surgery incisions, like suturing and stapling, present significant challenges, including potentially life-threatening leaks. T…
Haptic Guidance and Haptic Error Amplification in a Virtual Surgical Robotic Training Environment
Yousi A. Oquendo, Margaret M. Coad, Sherry M. Wren +5
Teleoperated robotic systems have introduced more intuitive control for minimally invasive surgery, but the optimal method for training remains unknown. Recent motor learning studi…
Using LOR Syringe Probes as a Method to Reduce Errors in Epidural Analgesia -- a Robotic Simulation Study
Nitsan Davidor, Yair Binyamin, Tamar Hayuni +1
Epidural analgesia involves injection of anesthetics into the epidural space, using a Touhy needle to proceed through the layers in the epidural region and a "loss of resistance" (…
Design and Assessment of a Bimanual Haptic Epidural Needle Insertion Simulator
Nitsan Davidor, Yair Binyamin, Tamar Hayuni +1
The case experience of anesthesiologists is one of the leading causes of accidental dural punctures and failed epidurals - the most common complications of epidural analgesia used…
Robot-Assisted Surgical Training Over Several Days in a Virtual Surgical Environment with Divergent and Convergent Force Fields
Yousi A. Oquendo, Zonghe Chua, Margaret M. Coad +5
Surgical procedures require a high level of technical skill to ensure efficiency and patient safety. Due to the direct effect of surgeon skill on patient outcomes, the development…
Predicting the Timing of Camera Movements From the Kinematics of Instruments in Robotic-Assisted Surgery Using Artificial Neural Networks
Hanna Kossowsky, Ilana Nisky
Robotic-assisted surgeries benefit both surgeons and patients, however, surgeons frequently need to adjust the endoscopic camera to achieve good viewpoints. Simultaneously controll…
Combining Time-Dependent Force Perturbations in Robot-Assisted Surgery Training
Yarden Sharon, Daniel Naftalovich, Lidor Bahar +2
Teleoperated robot-assisted minimally-invasive surgery (RAMIS) offers many advantages over open surgery. However, there are still no guidelines for training skills in RAMIS. Motor…
A Novel Grip Force Measurement Concept for Tactile Stimulation Mechanisms -- Design, Validation, and User Study
Guy Bitton, Ilana Nisky, David Zarrouk
We developed a new grip force measurement concept that allows for embedding tactile stimulation mechanisms in a gripper. This concept is based on a single force sensor to measure t…
Task Dynamics of Prior Training Influence Visual Force Estimation Ability During Teleoperation
Zonghe Chua, Anthony M. Jarc, Sherry Wren +2
The lack of haptic feedback in Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RMIS) is a potential barrier to safe tissue handling during surgery. Bayesian modeling theory suggests tha…
