Abstract

Ureteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure for diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract pathology. Ergonomic and visualization challenges as well as radiation exposure are limitations to conventional ureteroscopy. Therefore, we have developed a robotic system to “power drive” a flexible ureteroscope with 3D tip tracking and pre-operative image overlay. The proposed system was evaluated using a kidney phantom registered to pre-operative MR images. Initial experiments show the potential of the device to provide additional assistance, precision, and guidance during urology procedures.
