Abstract

A miniaturized sensor head for endoscopic measurements based on digital holography is described. The system was developed to measure the shape and the three-dimensional deformation of objects located at places to which there is no access by common measurement systems. A miniaturized optical sensor, including a complete digital holographic interferometer with a CCD camera, is placed at the end of a flexible endoscope. The diameter of the head is smaller than 10 mm. The system enables interferometric measurements to be made at speeds of as many as five reconstructions per second, and it can be used outside the laboratory under normal environmental conditions. Shape measurements are performed with two wavelengths for contouring, and the deformation is measured by digital holographic interferometry. To obtain full three-dimensional data in displacement measurements we illuminate the object sequentially from three different illumination directions. To increase the lateral resolution we use temporal phase shifting.

Endoscopic controlled intramedullary fracture reduction. A case report about closed fracture reduction under visual control.

Intramedullary bone endoscopy (IBE) was introduced as a new endoscopic technique in the year 2002 to achieve and manipulate the medullary canal of long bone under direct visual control. We report on a patient with a proximal femur fracture, where the new technique of IBE was used for intramedullary fracture reduction under visual control for the first time. Thus, the intraoperative use of an image intensifier was reduced.

Removal of a pellet from the left orbital cavity by image-guided endoscopic navigation.

In the cranio-maxillofacial field, computer-aided surgery based on computed tomography data is becoming increasingly important. Complex surgical procedures can be performed utilizing preoperative imaging to provide real-time localization of surgical instruments in the surgical field. Image-data-based navigation plays an ever-increasing role in cases of minimal invasive surgery. The case is presented here of a 58-year-old male patient referred after a hunting accident with a pellet in the left orbit. After transferring the preoperatively acquired computed tomography data to a commercially available navigation system, the bullet was removed through the original wound canal using an intraoperatively calibrated high-resolution endoscope.

[Manipulator assisted endoscope guidance in functional endoscopic sinus surgery: proof of concept].

BACKGROUND: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is characterized by single-handed preparation and guidance of the endoscope by the nondominant hand. This results in an additional extension of operation time by up to 15% and ergonomic deficits. The aim of this study is the conception of an automated assistance system for FESS in view of the following questions: (1) Which degree of surgical automation is suitable for FESS? (2) Which design is suitable? (3) What are the properties of the technical system (planning, time, accuracy, precision) of the selected system? (4) Does the system offer potential for a clinical application? METHODS: In all 49 FESS were analyzed for surgical workflows. Measurement of the maximum forces within FESS was performed with 40 trials on an anatomical model. Three different mechanical systems were used in ten FESS and evaluated using the ICCAS Human-Machine Evaluation Scale. For realization of automated endoscope guidance an engine-driven and -braked manipulator (PA10-6c, Mitsubishi, Japan) was used. The technical parameters determined were expenditure of time for the preoperative planning of workspace, surgical accuracy and precision of the intraoperative endoscope positioning, maximal forces, and time. RESULTS: Concept-conditioned instrument changes amount to an average of 41.1 and 18.9% (5.21 min) time requirement for each FESS side. Maximum forces on the mucous membrane during a conventional FESS were measured at 9.8 N (5.9-9.8). Usability of the mechanical endoscope holder was estimated in 18 of 20 cases to be inferior to the standard procedure. The time needed for segmenting the intranasal workspace was 15.2 min (10.0-23.0). The maximum deviation of the automatically driven endoscope from a planned position amounted to 0.85 mm (manually 4.64 mm). The maximum force was measured with 1.1 N in the z direction (manually 9.8 N). Automated guidance of the endoscope to an intranasal position needed 7.25 s (6.4-7.9); manually 12.64 s (5.9-43.0). CONCLUSION: Guidance of the endoscope for FESS by an automated motor-driven system is possible. The conception which is based on workflow analysis favors a system with automatic definition of the workspace and a manual movement of the endoscope. The examined system offers a potential for clinical application. Definition of the automation level and development of a man-machine interface is more important than selection or reconstruction of a special manipulator for endoscope guidance in FESS from a surgical point of view.
