Introduction(l) Definition: Robotic systems for surgery There are computer-integrated surgery systems first, and "medical robots" (CIS) second. The robot itself is just one element of a larger system designed to assist a surgeon in carrying out a surgical procedure.." [Taylor, 2003].

Introduction(2) CIS Preoperative Computer- assisted simulation & planning patient-specific Model Intraoperative Update model Follow plan Computer- assisted plan I execution Patient Post0Lerative Atlas Computer- Assisted Assessrnent • Information flow in CIS.

Introduction(3) Motivation: Started with the weaknesses and strengths of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) Smaller incisions, shorter post-operative time, reduced infection, faster rehabilitation, lesser pain, better cosmetics, Eye-hand coordination, difficulty in moving arms, degree of motion.

Classification Depending on the degree of surgeon interaction during the procedure: Supervisory-controlled; Telesurgical; Shared-control;.

Application of Medical Robotics(l ) Laboratory Robots For pre-programmed tasks High repetitions Perform multiple-tests in parallel Manufacturers include, Thermo Electron Corp, Hamilton Co, Central Research Laboratories (CRL), A Dover Diversified Co etc..

Application of Medical Robotics(2) Telesurgery Surgeon sits at a console Has controls to move the robotic arms Does not operate on the patient directly Mainly used in minimally invasive surgeries.

Application of Medical Robotics(3) Surgical Training Robots used as surgical training simulators Used for medical resident students Residents lack expertise and this helps in avoiding legal, social and economic problems The Second Generation Robotic Telesurgical System for Laparoscopy during tests in the Experimental Surgery Lab at UC San Francisco.

Application of Medical Robotics(4) and Teleconsultation Telecommunciation channels to communicate with other physicians/patients Control an external camera which in turn controls an endoscopic camera — used to share images with a remote surgeon.

Application of Medical Robotics(5) Rehabilitation Assistive robots Wheelchair with intelligent navigational control system.

Application of Medical Robotics(6) Remote surgery Surgeon can be anywhere in the world Remotely controls the robotic surgical system Very useful for treating wounded people in battlefields.

Application of Medical Robotics(7) Laparoscopic Surgery Performed in the abdominal cavity using MIS Abdomen cavity is expanded using C02 Uses Laparoscopic instrument Fiber optic channels to illuminate the inside of abdominal cavity Lens optics to transmit image CCD camera at the outer end Image displayed on high resolution TV.

Application of Medical Robotics(8) Laparoscopic Surgery Traditional laparoscope instruments have limitations Has 4 DOFs - Arbitrary orientation of instrument tip not possible Reduction in dexterity Reduction in motion reversal due to fulcrum at entry point Friction at air tight trocar reduction in force feedback Fulcrum at the, Entry Point.

Design of Robotic Telesurgery(l ) Minimally Invasive Surgery Surgery performed by making small incisions < 10mm dia Reduces post-operative pain and hospital stays Form of telemanipulation Instruments have a camera attached to transmit inside image to the surgeon.

Design of Robotic Telesurgery(2) • The Concept Telerobotics is a natural tool to extend capabilities in MIS The goal is to restore the manipulation and sensation capabilities of the surgeon Using a 6 DOF slave manipulator, controlled through a spatially consistent and intuitive master.

Design of Robotic Telesurgery (3) • The Concept Teleoperation Force Feedbac Tactile Feedba k • Telesurgical system concept.

Design of Robotic Considerations: Compatibility Backdrivabilit Actuator's impedance Actuators receive tool-to-tissue force Loss of power can lead to dropping of a heavy tool and undesirable high accelerations in the actuator.

Design of Robotic Telesurgery(5) Considerations: Human-Machine Interface Video system used to capture images inside the patient Backlash-loss of motion between a set of movable parts Choose the appropriate mechanism for the required transmission Choose passive gravity balance over active gravity balance.

Design of Robotic Telesurgery(6) Haptic Feedback Sensation of touch lost in robotic surgery Receiving haptic information and using it to control the robotic manipulators Needed to achieve high fidelity Types Force (kinesthetic) feedback Tactile (cutaneous) feedback.

Design of Robotic Telesurgery(7) Haptic Feedback Hand tie — tradition suturing mechanism Instrument tie estimate of performance (same type of feedback as resolved-force feedback) Robotic tie — suturing task performed by da Vinci@ (a) (b) (c).

Design of Robotic Telesurgery (9) Haptic Feedback Fidelity — ability to detect compliance variations in the environment P (Position error) +FF (kinesthetic force feedback) control architecture to determine if the use of force sensor on slave manipulator will provide fidelity z..

Strengths and Limitations(2) • Limitation Reluctance to accept this technology (trust) Additional training Fail proof? Most of the sensors use IR transmission Highly efficient visual instruments are needed Cannot be pre-programmed Task-specific robots are required Latency in transmission of mechanical movements by the surgeon Longer operating time.

Ethical and Safety Considerations When there is a marginal benefit from using robots, is it ethical to impose financial burden on patients or medical systems? • If a robot-assisted surgery fails because of technical problems, is it the surgeon who is responsible or others?.

Challenges, Future and Conclusion Haptic feedback • A safe, easy sterilizable, accurate, cheap and compact robot Reliable telesurgical capabilities • Compatibility with available medical equipment and standardizing Autonomous robot surgeons.
