Minimally invasive abdominal surgery Multiple ports for tools – separate one for laparoscope Current Laparoscopic Process
Eliminate one port by incorporating the camera onto the tool port More convenient for surgical team - fewer hands required and viewable screen Less traumatic for patient
Combine current laparoscope with current surgical instrument to eliminate one port Minimize camera module size, while maintaining speed and resolution High resolution image displayed on LCD panel Minimal wires – hopefully completely wireless and battery powered Incorporate data storage device for later viewing
10 mm max diameter for camera module 640x480 resolution 30 fps LCD screen LED lighting with imager All wired connections AC power
Battery powered – supplement with AC (2-2.5 hr run time) 6 mm max diameter of camera module Higher resolution Wireless Stream video data to external monitor Screen shot capability SD onboard storage Enable touch screen features
Multi-camera interface – split screen Motorized camera module Time display Audio features Wireless transmission to external monitor Foot pedal 4 mm maximum diameter of camera module Wireless storage to external device
Microcontroller w/ISI and LCD controller Camera (0V7690) SD Card VGA LCD Display LED(s) Top View Rechargeable Battery Battery Charger Controller
ATMEL AT32AP bit AVR
Connected via SCCB (I 2 C) and 8 parallel data lines Camera takes 30fps and sends it to the Image sensor interface on the microcontroller. Microcontroller controls imager via SCCB connection. Microcontroller w/ISI and LCD controller Camera (0V7690)
Connected via GPIO, possibly buffered with MOSFET or BJT to supply additional power Each LED is connected through a buffer to a general I/O pin on the Microcontroller. ◦ Allows touch screen to control LED through microcontroller, ideal for saving power and adjustable brightness. LED will be selected for maximum efficiency and brightness. Don’t want to burn patient and want lots of illumination. Microcontroller w/ISI and LCD controller LED(s)
Connected via Microcontroller LCD interface. Microcontroller takes data from imager and displays it on the LCD in VGA format. Microcontroller takes button presses from LCD and performs desired operations, ie toggling LEDs, screenshots, etc Utilizes RGB parallel input with 18 bits of color VGA standards 30 fps) Microcontroller w/ISI and LCD controller VGA LCD Display
SD Card viable option for video storage and retrieval Uses standard SPI interface to communicate Uses FAT32 storage system SD interface built into processor Easy to find documentation on SD interface SD Card Microcontroller w/ISI and LCD controller

Schedule Uncertainty ◦ Enough time to learn how to store data, battery operable, etc. ◦ Prototype completed by the beginning of March? Component Risks ◦ Expensive Eval. Board ◦ Sensor frame rate and resolution vs. size Questionable Feasibility ◦ Low level objectives seem obtainable ◦ Can we make our mid/high level objectives?
Over 2 million laparoscopic surgeries performed each year New laparoscopic surgeries are being introduced as technology improves 6 million Trocar used each year
Patient’s Point of View ◦ Cheaper $1,000 less than open surgery ◦ Quicker Recovery Hospital stay is 1/4 th the time of open surgery ◦ Post operative pain is less ◦ Reduced infection rate
Surgeon’s Point of View ◦ Longer operative times ◦ Expensive equipment ◦ Requires extra surgical training ◦ More complicated surgery 1 in 2000 patients suffer vascular injuries 17% of vascular injuries are fatal Average surgical malpractice lawsuit = $222,285
Make laparoscopic surgery more appealing to surgeon ◦ Efficient Faster Operative Times ◦ Easier Fewer mistakes Less Surgical training ◦ Safer Less Crowded Operating Room
