  • robotic virtual endoscopy development of a multidirectional Rigid Endoscope commetnaries
    Neurosurgery, 2008
    Co-Authors: Michael J. Levy, Andy Nguyen, Henry E. Aryan, Rahul Jandial, Hal S. Meltzer, Michael L.j. Apuzzo, Felice Esposito, Paolo Cappabianca, Andre J Grotenhuis, Charles Y Liu
    Abstract:

    INTRODUCTION: The use of neuroendoscopy has increased in the past 20 years. Despite an increase in the number of indications for use, novel adjuncts and modifications to existing Endoscopes remain all but nonexistent. We introduce a robotic virtual Endoscope with applications for neurosurgery that could serve as a novel step in the evolution of future endoscopic technologies. METHODS: Over the past 8 years, we have worked on the construction of a prototype Endoscope with three degrees of freedom that was designed to allow for enhanced safety while maximizing the benefits of virtual field rendition and robotic control. We have developed a prototype to examine a cerebral ventricular model in vitro that functions via either a direct video- or computer-based interface. RESULTS: Assessment of viewing angulation with robotic feedback has verified the accuracy of the prototype. Models support the ability of the Endoscope to localize regions identified via a software interface. CONCLUSION: The Endoscope is a Rigid virtual robotic Endoscope that provides complete visual coverage of a three-dimensional space by controlling an adjustable viewing direction with three degrees of freedom.

  • video assisted endoscopic laryngosurgery using a direct laryngoscope and a long Rigid Endoscope
    Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopy, 2000
    Co-Authors: Masahiro Kawaida, Hiroyuki Fukuda, Naoyuki Kohno
    Abstract:

    Endolaryngeal microscopic laryngosurgery (microlaryngosurgery) using a direct laryngoscope is the preferred surgical method for treating laryngeal lesions under general anesthesia. However, this method does not provide a wide-angle view of the larynx and does not allow detailed observations of the ventricle and subglottis of the laryngeal cavity, resulting in blind areas. Video-assisted endoscopic laryngosurgery using a direct laryngoscope and a long transurethral Rigid Endoscope was therefore utilized to allow clear observations and complete resection of laryngeal lesions in these blind areas. This endoscopic surgical technique is introduced, and clinical cases are presented.
