Background
This paper proposes a haptic guidance system to improve catheter navigation within a simulated environment.
Methods
Three force profiles were constructed to evaluate the system: collision prevention; centreline navigation; and a novel force profile of reinforcement learning (RL). All force profiles were evaluated from the left common iliac to the right atrium.
Results
Our findings show that providing haptic feedback improved surgical safety compared to visual-only feedback. If staying inside the vasculature is the priority, RL provides the safest option. It is also shown that the performance of each force profile varies in different anatomical regions.
Conclusion
The implications of these findings are significant, as they hold the potential to improve how and when haptic feedback is applied for cardiovascular intervention.

This study presents the development of a backpropagation neural network-based respiratory motion modelling method (BP-RMM) for precisely tracking arbitrary points within lung tissue throughout free respiration, encompassing deep inspiration and expiration phases.
Methods
Internal and external respiratory data from four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) are processed using various artificial intelligence algorithms. Data augmentation through polynomial interpolation is employed to enhance dataset robustness. A BP neural network is then constructed to comprehensively track lung tissue movement.
Results
The BP-RMM demonstrates promising accuracy. In cases from the public 4DCT dataset, the average target registration error (TRE) between authentic deep respiration phases and those forecasted by BP-RMM for 75 marked points is 1.819 mm. Notably, TRE for normal respiration phases is significantly lower, with a minimum error of 0.511 mm.
Conclusions
The proposed method is validated for its high accuracy and robustness, establishing it as a promising tool for surgical navigation within the lung.

Accurately estimating the 6D pose of snake-like wrist-type surgical instruments is challenging due to their complex kinematics and flexible design.
Methods
We propose ERegPose, a comprehensive strategy for precise 6D pose estimation. The strategy consists of two components: ERegPoseNet, an original deep neural network model designed for explicit regression of the instrument's 6D pose, and an annotated in-house dataset of simulated surgical operations. To capture rotational features, we employ an Single Shot multibox Detector (SSD)-like detector to generate bounding boxes of the instrument tip.
Results
ERegPoseNet achieves an error of 1.056 mm in 3D translation, 0.073 rad in 3D rotation, and an average distance (ADD) metric of 3.974 mm, indicating an overall spatial transformation error. The necessity of the SSD-like detector and L1 loss is validated through experiments.
Conclusions
ERegPose outperforms existing approaches, providing accurate 6D pose estimation for snake-like wrist-type surgical instruments. Its practical applications in various surgical tasks hold great promise.

In the field of orthopaedics, external fixators are commonly employed for treating extremity fractures and deformities. Computer-assisted systems offer a promising and less error-prone treatment alternative to manual fixation by utilising a software to plan treatments based on radiological and clinical data. Nevertheless, existing computer-assisted systems have limitations and constraints.
Methods
This work represents the culmination of a project aimed at developing a new automatised fixation system and a corresponding software to minimise human intervention and associated errors, and the developed system incorporates enhanced functionalities and has fewer constraints compared to existing systems.
Results
The automatised fixation system and its graphical user interface (GUI) demonstrate promising results in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and reliability.
Conclusion
The developed fixation system and its accompanying GUI represent an improvement in computer-assisted fixation systems. Future research may focus on further refining the system and conducting clinical trials.

Reducing the annotation burden is an active and meaningful area of artificial intelligence (AI) research.
Methods
Multiple datasets for the segmentation of two landmarks were constructed based on 41 257 labelled images and 6 different microsurgical scenarios. These datasets were trained using the multi-stage transfer learning (TL) methodology.
Results
The multi-stage TL enhanced segmentation performance over baseline (mIOU 0.6892 vs. 0.8869). Besides, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) achieved a robust performance (mIOU 0.8917 vs. 0.8603) even when the training dataset size was reduced from 90% (30 078 images) to 10% (3342 images). When directly applying the weight from one certain surgical scenario to recognise the same target in images of other scenarios without training, CNNs still obtained an optimal mIOU of 0.6190 ± 0.0789.
Conclusions
Model performance can be improved with TL in datasets with reduced size and increased complexity. It is feasible for data-based domain adaptation among different microsurgical fields.

Background
To assess the feasibility of use of indocyanine green (ICG) in identifying and minimising urinary tract injury during surgical resection of endometriosis through robotic transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopy surgery (RvNOTES).
Methods
We conducted a retrospective case series in two academic tertiary care hospitals. We examined 53 patients who underwent RvNOTES hysterectomy with planned endometriosis resection.
Results
The study involved 53 patients undergoing RvNOTES with ICG fluorescence for endometriosis resection. Mean patient age was 37.98 ± 6.65 years. Operative time averaged 181.32 ± 53.94 min, with estimated blood loss at 45.57 ± 33.62 mL. Postoperative stay averaged 0.23 ± 0.47 days. No ICG-related complications occurred.
Conclusion
No complications occurred with ICG fluorescence in RvNOTES. It appears to be a safe option for ureteral localisation and preservation. ICG fluorescence is widely used in diverse medical specialities for identifying ureters during complex surgeries. Larger studies are needed to firmly establish its advantages in intraoperative ureteral visualisation during RvNOTES for deep infiltrative endometriosis.

Background
Rotational alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a crucial technical point that needs attention. We conducted a retrospective study to investigate whether a new robot-assisted TKA (RA-TKA) could improve the accuracy of rotational alignment and whether rotational alignment affects postoperative pain and functional evaluation of the knee.
Methods
A total of 136 consecutive patients who underwent TKA were included in this study. Half of the patients underwent RA-TKA and the other half underwent conventional TKA (CON-TKA) by the same group of surgeons. Collect the relevant parameters.
Results
The postoperative femoral rotation angle (FRA) was −0.72 ± 2.59° in the robot-assisted group and 1.13 ± 2.73° in the conventional group, and were statistically significantly different (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
This study provides preliminary evidence that the RA-TKA provides more precise control of FRA than CON-TKA, and verifies that tibial rotation angle and combined rotation angle affect postoperative knee pain and functional evaluation.

Allergic rhinitis constitutes a widespread health concern, with traditional treatments often proving to be painful and ineffective. Acupuncture targeting the pterygopalatine fossa proves effective but is complicated due to the intricate nearby anatomy.
Methods
To enhance the safety and precision in targeting the pterygopalatine fossa, we introduce a deep learning-based model to refine the segmentation of the pterygopalatine fossa. Our model expands the U-Net framework with DenseASPP and integrates an attention mechanism for enhanced precision in the localisation and segmentation of the pterygopalatine fossa.
Results
The model achieves Dice Similarity Coefficient of 93.89% and 95% Hausdorff Distance of 2.53 mm with significant precision. Remarkably, it only uses 1.98 M parameters.
Conclusions
Our deep learning approach yields significant advancements in localising and segmenting the pterygopalatine fossa, providing a reliable basis for guiding pterygopalatine fossa-assisted punctures.

Background
Cholecystoduodenal fistula (CDF) arises from persistent biliary tree disorders, causing fusion between the gallbladder and duodenum. Initially, open resection was common until laparoscopic fistula closure gained popularity. However, complexities within the gallbladder fossa yielded inconsistent outcomes. Advanced imaging and robotic surgery now enhance precision and detection.
Method
A 62-year-old woman with chronic cholangitis attributed to cholecystoduodenal fistula underwent successful robotic cholecystectomy and fistula closure.
Results
Postoperatively, the symptoms subsided with no complications during the robotic procedure. Existing studies report favourable outcomes for robotic cholecystectomy and fistula closure.
Conclusions
Our case report showcases a rare instance of successful robotic cholecystectomy with CDF closure. This case, along with a review of previous cases, suggests the potential of robotic surgery as the preferred approach, especially for patients anticipated to face significant laparoscopic morbidity.

Background
Liver parenchymal transection during robotic liver resection (RLR) remains a significant challenge due to the limited range of specialised instruments. This study introduces our ‘Burn and Push’ technique as a novel approach to address these challenges.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 patients who underwent RLR using the ‘Burn and Push’ technique at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System from November 2021 to August 2023. The study evaluated peri- and post-operative outcomes.
Results
The median operation time was 241.5 min (range, 90–620 min), and the median blood loss was 100 mL (range, 10–600 mL). Major complications occurred in one case, with no instances of postoperative bleeding, bile leak, or liver failure.
Conclusions
The ‘Burn and Push’ technique is a viable and efficient alternative for liver parenchymal transection in RLR. Further research with larger sample sizes and consideration of the learning curve is necessary to validate these findings.
