📢 Exciting News! We're thrilled to share our latest research on FLIm-guided surgery: "Data-Centric Learning Framework for Real-Time Detection of Aiming Beam in Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Guided Surgery." This study introduces a novel data-centric approach to improve real-time surgical guidance using fiber-based fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm). A key aspect of the methodology is the accurate detection of the aiming beam, which is essential for localizing points used to map FLIm measurements onto the tissue region within the surgical field. 🔗 Details of our approach in the preprint here: https://lnkd.in/egbfFqRm #SurgicalGuidance #DataCentricAI #MedicalImaging #FLImTechnology #AIinHealthcare #SurgeryInnovation #RealTimeDetection #AimingBeam #ClinicalAI #FLImGuidedSurgery #MedicalResearch #TechInSurgery #OncologySurgery #AIForHealth #HealthcareInnovation #SurgicalAdvancements #MedicalTech #FiberOpticImaging #IntraoperativeGuidance #ResearchUpdate

📃Scientific paper: Operative efficiency: a comparative analysis of Versius and da Vinci robotic systems in abdominal surgery Abstract: Robotic-assisted surgery has gained momentum in the pursuit of improved minimally invasive procedures. The adoption of new robotic platforms, such as the Versius, raises concerns about safety, efficacy, and learning curves. This study compares the Versius to the well-established da Vinci in terms of operative time and patient population. Retrospective data collection was conducted on patient data from inguinal hernia surgery, ventral hernia surgery, and cholecystectomies performed between February 2022 and March 2023 at the American Hospital of Dubai. Only experienced cases were included, ensuring proficiency with robotic technology. Versius had longer procedure times in inguinal and ventral hernia surgeries but not in cholecystectomy. No intraoperative complications were observed in either system. This study demonstrates that Versius can provide comparable outcomes to the da Vinci in abdominal surgery, with no observed intraoperative complications.

📃Scientific paper: Laypersons versus experienced surgeons in assessing simulated robot-assisted radical prostatectomy Abstract: Background Feedback is important for surgical trainees but it can be biased and time-consuming. We examined crowd-sourced assessment as an alternative to experienced surgeons’ assessment of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Methods We used video recordings ( n  = 45) of three RARP modules on the RobotiX, Simbionix simulator from a previous study in a blinded comparative assessment study. A group of crowd workers (CWs) and two experienced RARP surgeons (ESs) evaluated all videos with the modified Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Surgery (mGEARS). Results One hundred forty-nine CWs performed 1490 video ratings. Internal consistency reliability was high (0.94). Inter-rater reliability and test–retest reliability were low for CWs (0.29 and 0.39) and moderate for ESs (0.61 and 0.68). In an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test, CWs could not discriminate between the skill level of the surgeons ( p  = 0.03–0.89), whereas ES could (p  = 0.034). Conclusion We found very low agreement between the assessments of CWs and ESs when they assessed robot-assisted radical prostatectomies. As opposed to ESs, CWs could not discriminate between surgical experience using the mGEARS ratings or when asked if they wanted the surgeons to perform their robotic surgery.

📃Scientific paper: Transferability of the robot assisted and laparoscopic suturing learning curves Abstract: Robot assisted surgery (RAS) is increasingly used, and besides conventional minimally invasive surgery (cMIS) surgeons are challenged to learn an increased array of skills. This study aimed to assess the influence of both learning curves on each other. A prospective randomized crossover study was performed. Participants without cMIS or RAS experience (Groups 1 and 2), and cMIS experienced, (Group 3) were recruited. Three suturing tasks (intracorporal suturing, tilted plane and anastomosis needle transfer) were performed on the EoSim cMIS simulator or RobotiX RAS simulator up to twenty repetitions. Subsequently, Groups 1 and 2 performed the tasks on the other modality. Outcomes were simulator parameters, validated composite and pass/fail scores. In total forty-three participants were recruited. Overall RAS suturing was better in Group 1 (cMIS followed by RAS tasks) and 3 (RAS tasks) versus Group 2 (RAS followed by cMIS tasks) for time (163 s and 157 s versus 193 s p  = 0.004, p  = 0.001) and composite scores (92/100 and 91/100 versus 89/100 p  = 0.008, p  = 0.020). The cMIS suturing was better for Group 2 versus 1 (time 287 s versus 349 s p  = 0.005, composite score 96/100 versus 94/100 p  = 0.002). Significant differences from the RAS suturing pass/fail were reached earlier by Group 3, followed by Groups 1 and 2 (repetition six, nine and twelve). In cMIS suturing Group 2 reached significant differences from the pass/fail earlier than Group 1 (repetition four vers...
