Introduction. The development augmented reality devices allow physicians to incorporate
data visualization into diagnostic and treatment procedures to improve work efficiency …

Laser microsurgery is the current gold standard surgical technique for the treatment of
selected diseases in delicate organs such as the larynx. However, the operations require …

In the last decade, focused laser radiation has become an alternative instrumentation for soft
tissue surgery due to precise ablation with simultaneous coagulation. However, adjustment …

Combining laser technology with robotic precision and accuracy promises to introduce
significant advances in minimally invasive surgical interventions. Lasers have already …

Purpose Single-incision laparoscopic surgery decreases postoperative infections, but
introduces limitations in the surgeon's maneuverability and in the surgical field of view. This …

Laser ablation is an effective treatment modality. However, current laser scanners suffer from
laser defocusing when scanning targets at different depths in a 3D surgical scene. This …

This paper reports on a study whose goal is to control the tissue temperature at a specific
spot during laser surgery, for the purpose of, eg, inducing coagulation or sealing blood …

Haptics has proven to be highly beneficial in surgical robotics, bringing enhanced safety and
precision by complementing the surgeon's visual channel. However, most of the research …

Recent research has revealed that image-based methods can enhance accuracy and safety
in laser microsurgery. In this study, non-rigid tracking using surgical stereo imaging and its …

This paper focuses on the development of a weakly calibrated three-view-based visual
servoing control law applied to the laser steering process. It proposes to revisit the …
