Telesurgery systems integrate multimodal communication and robotic technologies to enable surgical procedures to be performed from remote locations. They allow human surgeons to intuitively control laparoscopic instruments and to navigate within the human body. In this paper, we present selected topics on multimodal interaction in the context of telesurgery applications. These are results from the...
The precise determination of the length of artificial chordae and coevally the gental fixation of the defined length of the chordae on the mitral valve remains a challenge especially for the minimally invasive working heart surgeon. Methods to secure the correct length of the artificial chordae have been presented in the past either with the pean clamp or the more convenient but more breakable method...
The use of sutures as artificial chordae is widely established in mitral valve reconstruction. After the correct length of the chordae is determined by saline injection, there is a variety of methods to secure that length before tying surgical knots. We investigated the amount of damage posed by applying a haemoclip or a pean clamp and by using a knot-pusher. No differences in breaking forces were...
The evaluation of the haptic feature for surgical tasks especially including the value of surgical experience for telemanipulation is presented. In an experimental telemanipulating surgical platform the amount offeree in the dominant and non-dominant hand and its dependency on the surgical experience was examined.
In the last decade, the advancement of endoscopic and minimally invasive surgery has had a significant impact on patients and surgeons in various surgical fields. But in heart surgery the design of telemanipulators did not leverage endoscopic procedures. The focus is on building an experimental system for endoscopic and minimally invasive heart surgery which provides force feedback. In addition automating...
