No results posted yet for this study

Summary

During laparoscopic surgery, video camera becomes a surgeon's eyes since the surgeon uses image from the video camera positioned inside the patient's body to perform the procedure. The greatest limitation is the impairment or complete lack of tactile sensation normally used to assist in surgical dissection and decision making. The Investigator proposes to develop a tactile sensing system, Laparoscopic Tactile Imager (LTI), to be used in urogynecological laparoscopic surgery for tactile imaging and tissue characterization (elasticity, structure, boundaries, blood vessel detection) which will be imposed on the video image at area of interest in real time.
