  Non-Invasively Detecting Blood Vessels during Laparoscopic/Robotic Procedure
  Author(s): Jae KimJae Kim
  
  Minimally invasive surgeries provide lower morbidity and faster recovery compared to conventional surgeries. Since 1995, the cholecystectomy procedure shifted from conventional to minimally invasive by 80%. Despite its popularity and benefits, minimally invasive surgeries have major complications, including vessel and organ injury from difficulties in distinguishing between the two. Currently, a decision to distinguish between vessel and nonvessels is mainly based on surgeon’s experience and anatomical landmarks. Such methods can not only delay the operation time but also increase the number of medical errors due to subjectivity, especially for physicians-intraining. The purpose of this study is to introduce a sensor that can help distinguish blood vessels from non-blood vessel with a novel approach called “noninvasive impedance-based blood vessel detection”.
