System and method for intra-operative, image-based, interactive verification of a pre-operative surgical plan

A system and method for intra-operatively providing a surgeon with visual evaluations of possible surgical outcomes ahead of time, and generating simulated data, includes a medical imaging camera, a registration device for registering data to a physical space, and to the medical imaging camera, and a fusion mechanism for fusing the data and the images to generate simulated data. The simulated data (e.g., such as augmented X-ray images) is natural and easy for a surgeon to interpret. In an exemplary implementation, the system preferably includes a data processor which receives a three-dimensional surgical plan or three-dimensional plan of therapy delivery, one or a plurality of two-dimensional intra-operative images, a three-dimensional model of pre-operative data, registration data, and image calibration data. The data processor produces one or a plurality of simulated post-operative images, by integrating a projection of a three-dimensional model of pre-operative data onto one or a plurality of two-dimensional intra-operative images.

Electrosurgical electrode having a non-conductive porous ceramic coating

ActiveUS7033354B2Minimizing and preventing thermal damageHigh frequencySurgical instruments for heatingCoatingsElectrosurgeryPorous ceramics
An electrosurgical electrode and electrosurgical generator system utilizing the same are disclosed capable of controlling or limiting the current per arc in real-time during an electrosurgical procedure. The conductive electrosurgical electrode is configured for being connected to an electrosurgical generator system and has a non-conductive, porous ceramic coating that “pinches” or splits the arc current generated by the electrosurgical generator system into the smaller diameter pores of the coating, effectively keeping the same current and voltage, but creating several smaller diameter arcs from one larger diameter arc. This has the effect of separating the arc current, effectively increasing the current frequency, resulting in a finer cut or other surgical effect. That is, the non-conductive, porous ceramic coating enables a low frequency current to achieve surgical results indicative of a high frequency current, while minimizing or preventing thermal damage to adjacent tissue.

Variable output crest factor electrosurgical generator

ActiveUS7255694B2Range of effect and desirableSurgical effect and desirable surgical resultSurgical instruments for heatingElectrosurgeryEngineering
An electrosurgical generator is disclosed capable of controlling the output crest factor, as well as the output power of the electrosurgical generator across a range of tissue impedances during electrosurgery. The control occurs automatically, in real time and continuously during the duration of electrosurgical activation of the electrosurgical generator by varying both the output crest factor and output power based on the changing impedance of the tissue. The electrosurgical generator also includes controls for allowing a surgeon to manually select the appropriate crest factor value and power output value for a particular surgical procedure. By automatically adjusting the output crest factor and by giving the surgeon the ability to manually “tailor” the output crest factor across a range of tissue impedance, the electrosurgical generator enhances the ultimate surgical effect and desirable surgical results.

Surgical scanning system and process for use thereof

A surgical scanning system includes a scanner supported on a carrier movable relative to an operating room table. The carrier engages a guide that is collinear with the long axis of an operating room table. The relative movement between an operating room table and a scanner along a guide decreases the likelihood of collision therebetween. The ability to collect a scan of a patient while on an operating room table increases the likelihood of a successful surgical outcome.

Bone cutting osteotome tool and method for preparing a surgical sinus-lift osteotomy

A surgical tool (5) used for preparing a surgical sinus-lift osteotomy has a defined thread geometry in series with an osteotome tip to cut, crack and push bone from the sinus floor upward into the sinus cavity in a tactual, gentle and controlled motion. The apical osteotome tip is driven into a pre-drilled pilot osteotomy after the cutting threads are engaged and rotated until the sinus floor is cracked free. Once the bony sinus floor is cracked free, a fluid passageway can be pressurized with a sterile fluid at a defined pressure to release and push the sinus membrane upward into the sinus cavity to create a desired apical cavity for grafting. The invention solves the problems for preparing a sinus-lift surgical osteotomy and desired cavity space while minimizing the risk of compromising or tearing the sinus membrane. The invention allows the physician to easily form the desired sinus cavity to allow for grafting and to receive a screw formed dental implant while minimizing the risk of certain undesired surgical conditions.

Device and method for prosthetic implant measurement

A prosthetic implant measurement device includes a template adapted to fit over an implant site and shaped to conform to a desired post-surgical result and an expandable bladder adapted for insertion into the implant site. The template has at least two holes for passing a catheter attached at one end to the bladder from within the implant site to a supply of fluid for filling the bladder and expanding the implant site. A method of measuring a prosthetic implant includes inserting the bladder into the implant site, passing the catheter through a catheter hole, and fitting the template to the patient at the implant site. The bladder is then filled until the implant site conforms to the template. The volume of fluid required to so fill the bladder corresponds to the volume of the prosthesis required to achieve the desired surgical outcome.

Novel lithotomy position surgery leg bracket

The invention relates to a novel lithotomy position surgery leg bracket. The technical scheme of the novel lithotomy position surgery leg bracket is that, according to the position characteristic of lithotomy position surgery, a traditional scheme that popliteal space of a leg is supported is changed, popliteal space supporting is replaced by shank supporting, and all untoward effects caused by the traditional popliteal space supporting are solved. A boot-shaped design completely according with the three-dimensional physiological curve of a shank can reduce the press on the popliteal space anda gastrocnemius muscle, and avoid the damage on popliteal space plexus and fibular nerves. Cantilever type leg supporting is adopted for adjusting positions needed in surgery at will, the surgery position is controlled by an adjusting handle, and the leg bracket can stay in a desired position at will. When the position is adjusted, no medical care personnel is needed for lifting and moving the leg of a patient, and even during the surgery, the medical care personnel can still easily adjust multiple angles in a germ free condition of the leg. The work intensity of the medical care personnel isreduced, the efficiency and safety of the surgery are improved, and the surgical results are improved.
