KARL STORZ, the leading endoscopy manufacturer, and VirtaMed, world leader in medical training simulation, introduce a novel mixed reality simulator bringing innovation to laparoscopic skills training ...

Over the past two decades, the importance of implementing minimally invasive approaches to urological surgery and resident training has increased substantially. The indications for laparoscopic ...

Trainee surgeons learning to conduct laparoscopic (or keyhole) surgery will soon be able to complete their training quicker thanks to an AI-empowered system being developed by researchers at the ...

Laparoscopic gastric banding is a common surgical treatment for morbid obesity and the most critical factor in the success of the operation lies in the hands of the surgeon – who needs the proficiency ...

For many urological procedures the open approach is being replaced by the laparoscopic approach. Laparoscopy technique requires special training conditions. A well-designed, step-by step training ...

When doctors perform laparoscopic surgery, they can't rely on their own eyes. Instead, laparoscopic surgeons make a small incision and insert two long tools to work inside the patient's body, guided ...

A new system has been developed that can efficiently search through hundreds of hours of video for events and visual features that correspond to a few training examples. The researchers trained their ...

Objective measures of laparoscopic skill in training are lacking. To evaluate the changes in the surface electromyography (sEMG) signal during laparoscopic training, and to link them to intracorporeal ...

First-of-its-kind device to seamlessly integrate augmented reality, AI-guided assessment, and tactile feedback to enhance the surgical skills and training experiences for general, gynecological, and ...
