Abstract:

Minimally invasive surgery has been a major advance in the practice of medicine as it reduces the morbidity associated with larger incisions required for open surgery. A videoscopic system is used to capture and transmit two-dimensional images of the patient during a procedure. In open surgery, the binocular configuration of the human visual system is used to generate key depth information. Minimally invasive surgery requires interpretation of monocular visual cues to perform visuospatial judgments and complex psychomotor skills. The absence of binocular depth cues extends the learning curve d

Abstract:

This thesis investigates how to maximise spatial information from surgical camera images for robotic navigation. Image enhancement and depth estimation techniques are extended to not only improve the visual navigation capability in robotic surgery, but enable more accurate clinical diagnosis. Targeted applications include bronchoscopy and arthroscopy, with trials using real and synthetic data demonstrating potential for improved clinical outcomes of minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract:

Intra-operative imaging and robotics are some of the technologies driving forward better and more effective minimally invasive surgical procedures. To advance surgical practice and capabilities further, one of the key requirements for computationally enhanced interventions is to know how instruments and tissues move during the operation. While endoscopic video captures motion, the complex appearance dynamic effects of surgical scenes are challenging for computer vision algorithms to handle with robustness. Tackling both tissue and instrument motion estimation, this thesis proposes a combined n

The purpose of this thesis was to develop an in-depth understanding of motor control in surgery.

Abstract:

Cardiac disease is common and many cases require invasive surgical intervention. Most cardiac surgeries, for example, require stopping the patient’s heart. A percutaneous, beating heart, catheter-based system has been proposed as a less invasive option. Toward this goal, a mechanical device for bracing cardiac catheters against safe structures in the heart has been developed to allow more robust probing of heart tissue. The device presented here is rigid in its bracing conformation to support a catheter inside of the cardiac chambers, but is compliant enough to be delivered to the heart via th

Abstract:

Due to its inherent complexity such 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 surgical procedures. Therefore, detecting the vulnerable muscles and time-to-fatigue during MIS is of great importance in order to prevent these errors. In this research, different surgical skill and ergonomic assessment methods are reviewed and their advantages and disadva

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2009.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Minimal invasive surgery (MIS) enables surgeons to operate through a few small incisions made in the patient’s body. Through these incisions, long rigid instruments are inserted into the body and manipulated to perform the necessary surgical tasks. Conventional instruments, however, are constrained by having only five degrees of freedom (DOF), as well as having scaled and mirrored movements, thereby limiting the surgeon’s dexterity. Surgeons are also deprived of depth perception and hand-eye coordination due to only having tw

Abstract:

Recent advances in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) have allowed patients to benefit from reduced trauma, faster recover times, and shorter hospitalisation. As a result, surgeons operate in a less-than-comfortable posture which is both physically and mentally challenging. This has led to a more demanding training scheme to acquire the relevant surgical skills. Navigating and operating with flexible instruments such as endoscopes can also induce spatial disorientation within the surgeon, where such instances are associated with increased pain for the patient and more critically, risk of perfora

Reducing access trauma has been a focal point for modern surgery and tackling the challenges that arise from new operating techniques and instruments is an exciting and open area of research. Lack of awareness and control from indirect manipulation and visualization has created a need to augment the surgeon's understanding and perception of how their instruments interact with the patient's anatomy but current methods of achieving this are inaccurate and difficult to integrate into the surgical workflow. Visual methods have the potential to recover the position and orientation of the instrument

Dental caries is the main reason for placement and replacement of restorations (Keene, 1981). More than 60 percent of dentists' restorative time is spent replacing existing restorations.

Considering the traditional surgical dental caries management philosophy, it was based on "extension for prevention" and restorative material needs rather than on preserving the healthy tooth structure (Black, 1908).

Abstract:

Background: Venous insufficiency is very common and causes significant quality of life (QoL) impairment. Conventional open surgery featuring junction ligation, stripping of the axial vein and phlebectomy is known to offer significant benefits over conservative management; resulting in improved QoL. Additionally this treatment has been shown to be highly cost-effective. Despite these advantages, surgery is associated with significant post-operative morbidity; in the form of pain and immobility, even in the absence of complications.
