Project Details:

Project:
Robot-assisted microscopic manipulation for vitreo-retinal ophthalmologic surgery

Supervisors:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alois Knoll
Prof. Dr. Dr. Chris P. Lohmann

Start of PhD-work at GSISH:
Feb 2011

Project Description:

The project aims towards research and development of an innovative robotic assistance device for vitreo-retinal surgery. Eye surgeons around the world have to deal with every day scenarios demanding high-precision manipulation of surgical devices. The manipulation accuracy can be in the scale of microns which is very difficult to achieve even by the most trained and experienced surgeon.
Till date a few robotic devices exist to assist surgeons in such high-precision tasks. However, these devices have some limitations in terms of usability respectively integration and are not yet widely used. We propose an innovative robotic device towards overcoming the current limitations. Main focus will be the development, control and evaluation of this apparatus such that inadequateness of prevalent devices and methods can be improved, the delicate technique of vitreo-retinal surgery can be facilitated, the risk of complications reduced and new perspectives for novel therapeutic strategies may become feasible.
