INTEGRATED SURGICAL THEATER REPRESENTATION, PLANNING, AND COORDINATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240285345 titled 'INTEGRATED SURGICAL THEATER REPRESENTATION, PLANNING, AND COORDINATION
The abstract of the patent application describes systems and methods for coordinating actions among team members within a surgical theater, including robotic surgical theaters. These systems may involve creating a three-dimensional model of the patient's interior using data from an imaging device coupled to a surgical instrument, which can help facilitate coordinated decisions among team members.
- Three-dimensional model creation using imaging data
- Facilitating coordinated decisions among team members
- Augmented reality and virtual reality planning systems
- Predictive analyses for extending the surgical team's planning horizon
- Historical surgical data utilization for predictive analytics
Potential Applications: - Surgical theaters - Robotic surgery - Medical imaging technology
Problems Solved: - Lack of coordination among surgical team members - Inefficient decision-making processes - Limited planning horizon in surgical procedures
Benefits: - Improved coordination and decision-making in surgical theaters - Enhanced visualization of patient's interior - Increased efficiency in surgical procedures
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Surgical Team Coordination with Three-Dimensional Models" This technology could be utilized in hospitals, surgical centers, and medical device companies to improve surgical outcomes, streamline procedures, and enhance patient care.
Prior Art: Researchers and developers in the field of medical imaging technology, surgical robotics, and augmented reality systems may have explored similar concepts related to coordinating actions in surgical theaters.
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in medical imaging technology, surgical robotics, and predictive analytics could further advance the capabilities of coordinating actions among surgical team members.
Questions about Surgical Team Coordination: 1. How does the use of three-dimensional models improve coordination among surgical team members? - Three-dimensional models provide a visual representation of the patient's interior, allowing team members to make more informed decisions and collaborate effectively.
2. What are the potential challenges in implementing augmented reality and virtual reality planning systems in surgical theaters? - Challenges may include technical integration, training requirements for team members, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the virtual models used in the planning process.
Original Abstract Submitted
various of the disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for coordinating actions among team members within a surgical theater, including robotic surgical theaters. for example, embodiments may create a three-dimensional model of the patient's interior, or a portion of the patient's interior, using data from an imaging device coupled to a surgical instrument. this model may then be used to facilitate more coordinated decisions among team members in the theater, such as the placement of additional laparoscopic ports. augmented reality and virtual reality planning systems and methods availing themselves of the three-dimensional model, including “virtual dollhouse” roleplaying methods, may also facilitate team member coordination in some embodiments. models of the surgical environment may also provide predictive analyses so as to extend the surgical team's “planning horizon.” such predictive analytics may itself benefit from historical surgical data, including past records of patient interior model creation and planning.
