This paper explores the possibilities of designing AR interfaces to be used during laparoscopy surgery. It suggests that the laparoscopic video be displayed on AR headsets and that surgeons can consult preoperative image data on that…

Robotic assistance in minimally invasive surgery can greatly enhance surgical precision and reduce surgeon fatigue. This paper presents a focused investigation on the kinematic and ergonomic design principles for a laparoscopic surgical…

The integration of medical imaging, computational analysis, and robotic technology has brought about a significant transformation in minimally invasive surgical procedures, particularly in the realm of laparoscopic rectal surgery (LRS).…

Nowadays, more and more surgical interventions are carried out in Minimally Invasive Surgery, to make the post-operative constraints less painful for the patient. Actually, new surgical tools or medical products are designed after informal…

Many XR devices use bare-hand gestures to reduce the need for handheld controllers. Such gestures, however, lead to false positive and false negative recognition errors, which detract from the user experience. While mediation techniques…

Laparoscopic Surgery (LS) is a modern surgical technique whereby the surgery is performed through an incision with tools and camera as opposed to conventional open surgery. This promises minimal recovery times and less hemorrhaging. Multi…

In adult laparoscopy, robot-aided surgery is a reality in thousands of operating rooms worldwide, owing to the increased dexterity provided by the robotic tools. Many robots and robot control techniques have been developed to aid in more…

Master control console is a place where robots collaborate with humans in a shared environment. To this end, ergonomics is an important aspect to be considered. With ergonomic design, the surgeons can feel more comfortable to conduct the…

A significant challenge in image-guided surgery is the accurate measurement task of relevant structures such as vessel segments, resection margins, or bowel lengths. While this task is an essential component of many surgeries, it involves…

A pervasive design issue of AI systems is their explainability--how to provide appropriate information to help users understand the AI. The technical field of explainable AI (XAI) has produced a rich toolbox of techniques. Designers are now…

Teleoperation platforms often require the user to be situated at a fixed location to both visualize and control the movement of the robot and thus do not provide the operator with much mobility. One example is in existing robotic surgery…

Online crowdsourcing platforms have made it increasingly easy to perform evaluations of algorithm outputs with survey questions like "which image is better, A or B?", leading to their proliferation in vision and graphics research papers.…

Robotic surgery represents a major breakthrough in medical interventions, which has revolutionized surgical procedures. However, the high cost and limited accessibility of robotic surgery systems pose significant challenges for training…

Human-robot collaboration in surgery represents a significant area of research, driven by the increasing capability of autonomous robotic systems to assist surgeons in complex procedures. This systematic review examines the advancements and…

Otologic surgery has some specificities compared to others surgeries. The anatomic working space is small, with various anatomical structures to preserve, like ossicles or facial nerve. This requires the use of microscope or endoscope. The…

In otolaryngologic surgery, endoscopy is increasingly used to provide a better view of hard-to-reach areas and to promote minimally invasive surgery. However, the need to manipulate the endoscope limits the surgeon's ability to operate with…

This paper presents the requirements and design methodology for a vitreoretinal surgical microscope based on plenoptic imaging. The design parameters of the imaging lens, micro-lens array, and sensor are specified. The proposed design…

A core component of completing tasks efficiently in computer-supported knowledge work is the ability for users to rapidly switch their focus (and interaction) across different applications using various shortcuts and gestures. This feature…

Spatial drawing using ruled-surface brush strokes is a popular mode of content creation in immersive VR, yet little is known about the usability of existing spatial drawing interfaces or potential improvements. We address these questions in…

Minimally invasive surgery is highly operator dependant with a lengthy procedural time causing fatigue to surgeon and risks to patients such as injury to organs, infection, bleeding, and complications of anesthesia. To mitigate such risks,…
