means of a remotely controlled “surgical submarine” had to be given up because of unsurmountable technical platforms.
In the mid-term, it seems probable that untethered systems could play a role in diagnostics, but it is not very likely that they will become helpful therapeutic tools.

10.3 SPECIAL ASPECTS OF ROBOTERIZED SURGERY

10.3.1 Haptic Feedback

Tactile perception is a part of a complex human sensory system consisting of
1. propr ioception (body awareness),
2. mechanoreception (touch),
3. thermoreception (temperature),
4. nociception (pain).
In surgery it is of utmost importance to feel a quality of the tissue and the anatomy:
to identify the surgical planes,
to locate a tumor,
to grip tissue firmly but atraumatically,
to cut and to spread with adequate force,
to apply the adequate tension when a knot is tied.
In open (conventional/classical) surgery, palpation is an essential part of surgical exploration. It is crucial for palpation of the tissue to discrimi­nate the different layers and anatomical structures. It is the precondition to cut and to spread tissue with adequate force, to find the best trade-off when grasping between a secure grip and trauma or to apply optimal ten­sion when a knot is tied.
In laparoscopic surgery tactile feedback is hampered but not at all completely eliminated. However, in robotic masterslave systems a direct (mechanical) control of the tip of the instrument via the respective han­dling device is no longer possible. Accordingly, the creation of artificial haptic feedback would be utmost desirable.
At first glance, however, to create robotic haptic feedback seems to be nearly unsurmountable.
Touch or tactile perception is one of the five somatosensory senses encompassing our capability to perceive pressure, stretch, and vibration (
Fig. 10.52).

The loss of tactile perception is mostly compensated by visual control (otherwise, a DaVinci system would be of no use in clinical care), but, nevertheless, the use of the full range of surgical skills is limited. Accordingly, it would be most desirable to find technical solutions to pro­vide the user with tactile information via the interface. The task is challenging.
The problem may become a bit less complicated if it is considered that haptic feedback in surgery is mainly mediated by the hand instru­ments in use. Direct manual palpation is of minor importance. Since a tool—a technical system—is per se better suitable to measure forces, the task should become easier to solve.
The main resistive forces which have to be transmitted to the interface are
orthogonal force to the yaws,
axial resistive force,
lateral forces.
Orthogonal force is exerted to the yaws of the instrument when the tip is opened or closed, e.g., to grasp the tissue, or to secure a needle in a stable position, or to cut (
Fig. 10.53A).
The opening force plays a role if different plans have to be spread apart (
Fig. 10.53B).
If the instrument is moved forward or backward, the amount of resis­tive force when pushing or pulling is also decisive (
Last but not least, lateral force has to be transmitted as well (
Fig. 10.54).
Fig. 10.55A).
The next level is to reflect the forces if the two actors are working together (
Fig. 10.55B).

In at least two systems, haptic feedback was already successfully implemented: the Senhance Surgical Robot System and the MiroSurge device reflect forces. The clinical effectiveness has still to be evaluated.

10.3.2 ManMachine Interaction
The way that the surgeon can interact in an intuitive way with the machine is the “Achilles heel” of robotic surgery. As shown above, a vari­ety of technical solutions have been offered up to now.
“Joystick”-like solutions require significant accommodation of the sur­geon which seems to be easier for younger surgeons than for those who did not grow up with modern consumer IT devices. The handling of the DaVinci with its two rings is a compromise, whereas the Senhance system uses two laparoscopy-shaped handling devices.
Since we do not even yet know how handheld laparoscopic instru­ments with wrist-like tip articulation should ideally be designed it is difficult to decide upon surgeon preference in “robotic” surgery.
It seems probable that hand controllers with a linkage structure similar to the human upper extremity are most favorable
[62].
However, direct manipulation of the surgical instr ument is just one aspect of the interaction between the surgeon and the system. Camera control, activation of electrical force for dissection and coagulation, the adjustment of the field of view, etc. are mediated by buttons and pedals. A more intuitive or even adaptive cooperative assistance could signifi­cantly decrease surgical workload
[63]. A first step into this direction is
the eye-tracking-based automatic camera guidance which is implemented in the Senhance system.
A next step could be a purpose designed natural language user interface and knowledge navigator like SIRI (speech interpretation and recognition interface) of Apple, Inc. (Cupertino, CA, United States): verbal orders could replace mechanical signals. The long-term aim is to make the system as cooperative as a human assistant (see Chapter 14: Visceral Surgery of the Future: Pr ospects and Needs).

CHAPTER 11
Tracking and Navigation Systems
Tracking and navigation systems are gaining increasing importance in sur­gery. Initially, they were predominantly used in more or less rigid surgical environments such as orthopedics, ENT, and neurosurgery, but today they are also used in visceral surgery.
While “tracking” refers to the acquisition of position information, the whole process of positioning, precisely displaying information in correla­tion with specific reference objects, is referred to as “navigation.”
The field of application in visceral surgery reaches from tracking objects (beds, devices, etc.) and staff within the whole surgical unit to the positioning of patients, staff, and instruments in the OR suite. The most sophisticated use-case is surgical navigation during the surgical interven­tion. In this specific case, tracking and navigation systems can provide surgeons with exact information about the location of objects within the body without actually viewing them. Moreover, these systems can pro­vide three-dimensional views of surgical instruments, in relation to the anatomy of a patient’s body and visualize the insertion path. Commonly, preoperative images, such as the volume images of MRI or CT devices, are used as a data basis. Additionally, intraoperative imaging procedures, such as computed tomography, MRI, X-ray, or ultrasound, can be used to provide an actual (real-time) 3D dataset.
The surgical navigation system matches the position of the surgical equipment, such as the endoscope, with corresponding points in the tracking field. It computes the relationship between a patient’s coordinate system and the image dataset. After registration-the alignment of the coordinate system of the patient (“real” coordinate system) and the corre­sponding volume dataset (“virtual” coordinate system) in at least three corresponding points-the position of the probe or the surgical instrument equipped with the tracking sensor can be virtually displayed in the image dataset. Alternatively to this paired point-based registration, surface matching routines can be used. If required, additional images during

surgery can be acquired, registered, and included in the running naviga­tion (intraoperative image acquisition)
[1].
The wide range of applications with very different requirements cannot be covered by one universal technology. Fortunately, a wide vari­ety of real-time locating systems (RTLS) is already available, meeting more or less the needs of the user. Depending upon the specific applica­tion, factors such as accuracy, range, update-rate, durability, scalability, and price have to be considered. The “global positioning system” (GPS), which is one of the most known and common technologies, should be, in theory, ideally suitable. However, indoor use for medical purposes is more or less impossible
[2].
Early tracking systems were mostly mechanical digitizers, but because of the high accuracy and the large workspace, today optical tracking systems (OTS) are mostly used for navigation systems. On the other hand, they depend on the “line-of-sight,” which prevents use for some applications. It is one of the main challenges of BME to identify in detail the strengths and weaknesses of each single technology to define optimal solutions for specific problems.
The basic principle is simple: An RTLS consists of three components as shown in
Fig. 11.1, but the specific designs vary considerably.
The most important technologies will be described in the following, including optical and electromagnetic tracking, fiber bragg grating (FBG) localization, and a wide range of radio-based systems. In addition, other solutions including combined methods and distance measurement methods are briefly explained.
