Abstract
The intravascular neurosurgery is one of the most successful minimally invasive surgery. However, the difficulty to operate a catheter inside the cranial blood vessels because of the complexity and narrowness of blood vessels checks increasing the number of well-skilled doctors. Moreover the X-ray camera, which is used during an operation, causes the X-ray exposure to a doctor. One of the solution to these problems is telesurgery system.
A novel telesurgery system for intravascular neurosurgery is described in this paper. This system has three main components; 1) A micro force sensor which can be installed in the catheter tip, and it measures a contact force between the catheter tip and a blood vessel wall. 2) A catheter teleoperation system which enables a surgeon to perform a medical operation to a patient from a distant place. 3) A force display strategy to improve operability and safety during an operation.
An in-vitro teleoperation experiment in the intravascular operating room is also performed and the effectiveness of the telesurgery system is confirmed.
