Development and Experimental Validation of a Combined FBG Force and OCT Distance Sensing Needle for Robot-Assisted Retinal Vein Cannulation

J. Smits, M. Ourak, A. Gijbels, L. Esteveny, G. Borghesan, L. Schoevaerdts +7

ICRA 2018poster

Retinal Vein Occlusion is a common retinal vascular disorder which can cause severe loss of vision. Retinal vein cannulation followed by injection of an anti-coagulant into the affected vein is a promising treatment. However, given the scale and fragility of the surgical workfield, this procedure is…

Force control for tissue tensioning in precise robotic laser surgery

S. Portolés, P. Vanbiervliet, B. Rosa, C. Tomassetti, C. Meuleman, E.B. Vander Poorten +1

ICRA 2015poster

Lasers are being used in various surgical procedures to remove tissue or bones, to coagulate vessels or other structures. Due to difficulties in handling only a limited number of surgeons manage to display sufficient levels of precision in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) procedures. Prior works on…
