Abstract
The concept of “Surgery Recording System ” (SRS) for laparoscopy was proposed and the first prototype was developed. The concepts of the system are: the coordination for present surgical environment, non-obstructive sensor equipments' layout of surgeon's operations, the record of total surgical information on time scale. First of all, the surgery recording forceps was developed with which a 6-DOF magnetic position sensor and a 6-axis force/torque sensor, efficiently small and light weight, were equipped. Position, orientation, force, torque informations of the forceps are recorded into a PC (hard disk drive) through the operation by a skillful surgeon. The laparoscopic view image and the expert's comments are also recorded into a digital video tape. SRS was tested preliminary at in vivo pig experiment and was able to record the above-mentioned significant surgical data to the liver by an expert on laparoscopy.
