Purpose Retinal vein cannulation is an experimental procedure during which a clot-dissolving drug is injected into an obstructed retinal vein. However, due to the fragility and minute size of retinal veins, such procedure is considered too risky to perform manually. With the aid of surgical robots, key limiting factors such as: unwanted eye rotations, hand tremor and instrument immobilization can...
Retinal Vein Occlusion is a common retinal vascular disorder which can cause severe loss of vision. Retinal vein cannulation is a promising treatment, but given the small diameter of retinal veins and the surgeon's limited positioning precision, it is considered too risky to perform this procedure manually. The authors previously reported on the development of both a robotic comanipulation and telemanipulation...
Retinal surgery is one of the most challenging types of surgery because of the scale and the fragility of the human eye anatomy. The surgeon suffers from limited positioning accuracy, tremor and poor force feedback directly affecting the quality of the surgical procedures. To tackle these issues, we developed a teleoperation system to assist surgeons during retinal surgery. The system offers features...
