Abstract

Minimally invasive or totally endoscopic cardiac surgery is an operation technique in which physicians operate through small incision points at the operating region, either using endoscopic tools or master-slave robot systems. In either case, the field of view of the physician is quite limited to a small area around the operating region. To get more general overview, preoprative imaging and planning data can be used through Augmented Reality techniques.
PORT - pre-operative planning and intra-operative guidance and navigation for robotically assisted minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery:
- Design of a Planning Tool for Port Placement in Robotically Assisted Minimally Invasive Cardiovascular Surgery (MarcoFeuerstein)
- Design of an Intra-Operative Augmented Reality Navigation Tool for Robotically Assisted Minimally Invasive Cardiovascular Surgery (JoergTraub)
STENT - pre-operative planning and navigation for STENT implantations:
- Development of a Planning and Navigation Tool for Endoscopic Treatment of abdominal Aortic Aneurysms - Computer Supported Implantation of a Stent Graft (MartinGroher)
- Mathematical Methods of Image Processing for Automated Navigation in Endoscopic Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurisms - Computer Aided Implantation of a Stent Graft (PeterKeitler)
The project started in March 2003 and finished in November 2003 as a bundle of diploma theses supervised by Prof. Gudrun Klinker (Fachgebiet Augmented Reality) and Prof. R. Bauernschmitt (German Heart Center). Many of the participants are now working at the Chair for Computer Aided Medical Procedures by Prof. Nassir Navab.
