Real-time tool segmentation from endoscopic videos is an essential part of many computer-assisted robotic surgical systems and of critical importance in robotic surgical data science. We propose two novel deep learning architectures for automatic segmentation of non-rigid surgical instruments. Both methods take advantage of automated deep-learning-based multi-scale feature extraction while trying...
Surgical interventions are increasingly executed minimal invasively. Surgeons insert instruments through tiny incisions in the body and pivot slender instruments to treat organs or tissue below the surface. While a blessing for patients, surgeons need to pay extra attention to overcome the fulcrum effect, reduced haptic feedback and deal with lost hand-eye coordination. The mental load makes it difficult...
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) can be associated with genetic or structural anomalies that render the prognosis overall poor. In isolated cases, survival is dependent on the degree of lung hypoplasia and potentially also liver position. Isolated CDH remains today, fatal in around 30% of prenatally diagnosed cases. Cases should be referred in utero to tertiary care centers familiar with this...
Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is a progressive pregnancy complication in which inter-twin vascular connections in the shared placenta result in a blood flow imbalance between the twins. The most effective therapy is to sever these connections by laser photo-coagulation. However, the limited field of view of the fetoscope hinders their identification. A potential solution is to augment the...
Laparoscopy may yield better exposure and surgical detail, reduce blood loss and the need for excessive abdominal packing and bowel manipulation, which may all lead to a lesser morbidity.1 Laparoscopy has now also found its way to the field of urogynecology. Recently, laparoscopic colposuspension was shown to be equally effective as an open procedure at 2-years follow-up.2 Whereas colposuspension...
