Background A variety of human computer interfaces are used by robotic surgical systems to
control and actuate camera scopes during minimally invasive surgery. The purpose of this …

Background Tele-mentoring during surgery facilitates the transfer of surgical knowledge
from a mentor (specialist surgeon) to a mentee (operating surgeon). The aim of this work is …

Background An articulated laparoscope comprises a rigid shaft with an articulated distal end
to change the viewing direction. The articulation provides improved navigation of the …

Background Recent tele‐mentoring technologies for minimally invasive surgery (MIS)
augments the operative field with movements of virtual surgical instruments as visual cues …

The recent introduction of wireless head-mounted displays (HMD) promises to enhance 3D
image visualization by immersing the user into 3D morphology. This work introduces a …

Background Robotic scope assistant systems are used to visualise and navigate the
operative field during a laparoscopic surgery. The objective of this work is to design a …

The interfacing mechanism of a robotic scope assistant system assists a surgeon to
maneuver a scope for visualization of the operative field during laparoscopic surgery. The …

The objective of this work is to advance human-computer interfacing methods for control of
angulated scopes in robotic scope assistant systems during laparoscopic surgeries. An …

Objective The objective of this feasibility study was to develop and assess a tele-ultrasound
system that would enable an expert sonographer (situated at the remote site) to provide real …

The work assesses the efficacy of computer based remote tele-mentoring system (ie when
the mentor and mentee are physically separated) for teaching minimally invasive surgical …
