Conception, modélisation et planification de mouvements d'un robot de résection pour la neurochirurgie / Design, modelling and movement planning of a resection robot for neurosurgery

Martin, Carole 03 November 2010 (has links)
Depuis son apparition la robotique chirurgicale s’avère bénéfique pour les patients et pour les praticiens car elle améliore la qualité des opérations. Ces travaux de thèse portent sur la conception, la modélisation et la planification de mouvements d’un système robotique destiné à réséquer une tumeur cérébrale. La définition des contraintes liées à la tâche de résection de tumeur (adaptabilité aux différentes formes de tumeurs et espace de travail restreint et évolutif) met en évidence la problématique liée à la conception du robot et à sa stratégie de résection. La conception modulaire retenue utilise des câbles et dispose de sept degrés de liberté. Une modélisation géométrique de la solution est proposée. La planification de trajectoire du robot redondant dans un environnement dynamique qui dépend de sa trajectoire est basée sur un principe de génération interactive. Elle utilise un découplage des degrés de liberté du robot et définit des procédures élémentaires qui pourront être choisies et assemblées par le neurochirurgien. Une méthode par discrétisation est proposée pour déterminer l’espace des procédures adaptées au robot et limiter le choix du chirurgien aux procédures effectivement réalisables. Une simulation montre que la solution robotique associée à la méthode interactive de génération de trajectoire permet de réséquer une grande partie d’une tumeur témoin, et la réalisation d’un démonstrateur offre des perspectives d’expérimentations en conditions simulées. / Since the beginning of surgical robotics, surgical robots continue to find their place in clinical routine. They improve the quality and safety of operations, and comfort for the surgeon. This work addresses the design, modeling and path planning of a robotic system for brain tumor resection. The characterization of the surgical task (adaptability to the high diversity of tumor shapes, limited and evolving workspace) points out the requirements for the robot design and resection path planning. A modular robot with seven degrees of freedom is selected (high dexterity) and is actuated by wires. A kinematic (geometric) model is built.Motion planning of the redundant robot in evolving and path depending workspace is based on an interactive path planning. The method uncouples the degrees of freedom and defines elementary procedures, which are assembled in an arbitrary sequence by the neurosurgeon.A discretization method allows computing the procedure space that presents the possible locations, orientations and sizes of resected areas with respect to the robot limitations to bound procedure choices. A simulation on a real tumor case reveals that the chosen robotic concept associated to the interactive motion planning method allows removing the tumor for the most part. A demonstrator is realized and will provide opportunities for experiments in simulated conditions.

Decorticação frontal: descrição anátomo-cirúrgica de nova técnica de lobectomia frontal sem a abertura do corno frontal do ventrículo lateral / Frontal lobe decortication (frontal lobectomy with ventricular preservation) in epilepsy: anatomical landmarks and surgical technique

Da Róz, Leila Maria 30 September 2016 (has links)
A lobectomia frontal é um procedimento neurocirúrgico frequentemente realizado para o tratamento de tumores cerebrais, epilepsia refratária, e outras patologias que requerem remoção extensa do lobo frontal. Embora seja um procedimento relativamente comum, foram encontrados apenas alguns relatos na literatura acerca da técnica cirúrgica, com pouca consideração acerca da anatomia relevante para esse procedimento. OBJETIVOS: O principal objetivo desta tese é apresentar parâmetros anatômicos e considerações técnicas para a remoção da substância cinzenta do lobo frontal (decorticação do lobo frontal) como uma alternativa a lobectomia frontal. A finalidade deste estudo é a maximização da remoção cerebral, diminuindo a perda sanguínea, e evitando a abertura do corno frontal do ventrículo lateral. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: O estudo anatômico foi realizado em 15 cabeças cadavéricas adultas. Os dados clínicos foram baseados em 15 decorticações frontais realizadas de 2002 a 2014. RESULTADOS: A decorticação frontal envolve as superfícies lateral, medial e basal, e consiste em 5 passos principais: a) coagulação e secção dos ramos arteriais da superfície lateral do lobo frontal; b) ressecção subpial paramediana do lobo frontal até a localização do joelho do corpo caloso; c) ressecção da substância cinzenta da superfície lateral do lobo frontal sem entrar no corno frontal; d) identificação e preservação do trato olfatório; e) remoção da substância cinzenta da superfície basal do lobo frontal. Esta técnica cirúrgica foi aplicada em 15 casos, em nenhum deles o corno frontal do ventrículo lateral foi aberto, evitando complicações da abertura do mesmo. CONCLUSÃO: A decorticação frontal guiada por parâmetros anatômicos pode ser uma das técnicas cirúrgicas a ser considerada quando há necessidade da ressecação extensa do lobo frontal (especialmente substância cinzenta). A técnica proporciona máxima remoção do lobo frontal, preservação do corno frontal e da área motora suplementar, e redução da perda sanguínea / BACKGROUND: The frontal lobectomy is a frequently performed neurosurgical procedure for treating brain tumors, refractory epilepsy, and other disorders that require extensive removal of the frontal lobe. In spite of being a relatively common procedure, there are only few reports available regarding its surgical technique and little attention has been given to the anatomy relevant to this procedure. OBJECTIVES: The authors present the anatomical landmarks and technical nuances for removing the gray matter of the frontal lobe (frontal lobe decortication) as an alternative to frontal lobectomy. The goals are to maximize the brain removal, minimize the blood loss, and avoid opening the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The anatomical study was performed in 15 adult cadaveric heads. The clinical data are based on 15 frontal resections performed from 2002 to 2014. RESULT: The frontal decortication involves the lateral, medial, and basal surfaces of the frontal lobe, and it consists of 5 main steps: a) coagulation and section of the arterial branches of the lateral surface of the frontal lobe; b) paramedian subpial resection of the frontal lobe until the genu of the corpus callosum is located; c) resection of the gray matter of the lateral surface of the frontal lobe without entering the frontal horn; d) identification and preservation of the olfactory tract; e) removal of the gray matter of the basal surface of the frontal lobe. This surgical technique was applied in 15 cases, and it was possible to preserve the frontal horn in all the patients when following this technique, avoiding complications resulted by its opening. CONCLUSION: The frontal decortication guided by intraoperative anatomical landmarks can be one of the surgical techniques to be considered when an extensive frontal lobe resection (especially gray matter) is needed. It offers maximum frontal lobe removal, preservation of the frontal horn and supplementary motor area, and reduced blood loss

Avaliação anatômica comparativa dos acessos transcorioideo e transforniceal transcorioideo ao terceiro ventrículo / Comparative anatomical assessment of transchoroidal approach and transforniceal transchoroidal approach to the third ventricle

Araujo, João Luiz Vitorino 20 June 2016 (has links)
Introdução: O acesso ao terceiro ventrículo constitui verdadeiro desafio ao neurocirurgião. Nesse contexto, estudos anatômicos e morfométricos são úteis para estabelecer as limitações e as vantagens de determinado acesso cirúrgico. O acesso transcorioideo é versátil e promove exposição adequada da região média e posterior do terceiro ventrículo. Entretanto, a coluna do fórnice limita a exposição da região anterior do terceiro ventrículo. Há evidências de que a secção ipsilateral da coluna do fórnice tenha pouca repercussão na função cognitiva. Esta tese compara a exposição anatômica proporcionada pelo acesso transforniceal transcorioideo com o do acesso transcorioideo e realiza avaliação morfométrica de estruturas relevantes e comuns aos dois acessos. Material e métodos: A exposição anatômica proporcionada pelos acessos transcaloso transcorioideo e transcaloso transforniceal transcorioideo foram comparadas em oito cadáveres não submetidos à conservação, utilizando o sistema de neuronavegação (Artis, Brasília, Brasil), para aferir a área de trabalho, a área de exposição microcirúrgica, a exposição angular no plano longitudinal e transversal de dois alvos anatômicos (túber cinéreo e aqueduto cerebral). Adicionalmente, foram quantificados a espessura do parênquima do lobo frontal direito, a espessura do tronco do corpo caloso, o diâmetro longitudinal do forame interventricular, a distância de trabalho da superfície cortical ao túber cinéreo e a distância de trabalho da superfície cortical até o aqueduto cerebral. Os valores obtidos foram submetidos a análise de estatística utilizando o teste de Wilcoxon. Resultados: Na avaliação quantitativa, o acesso transforniceal transcorioideo proporcionou maior área de trabalho (transforniceal transcorioideo = 150,299 +/- 11,147 mm2; transcorioideo = 121,421 +/- 7,698 mm2; p < 0,05), maior área de exposição microcirúrgica (transforniceal transcorioideo = 100,920 +/- 8,764 mm2; transcorioideo = 79,944 +/- 4,954 mm2; p < 0,05), maior área de exposição angular no plano longitudinal para o túber cinéreo (transforniceal transcorioideo = 70,898 +/- 6,598 graus; transcorioideo = 63,838 +/- 5,770 graus; p < 0,05) e maior área de exposição angular no plano longitudinal para o aqueduto cerebral (transforniceal transcorioideo = 61,806 +/- 6,406 graus; transcorioideo = 54,998 +/- 5,102 graus; p < 0,05) em comparação com o acesso transcorioideo. Nenhuma diferença foi observada na exposição angular ao longo do eixo transversal para os dois alvos anatômicos (túber cinéreo e aqueduto cerebral) (p > 0,05). A espessura média do lobo frontal direito foi de 34,869 +/- 3,439 mm, a espessura do tronco caloso foi 10,085 +/- 1,172 mm, o diâmetro do forame interventricular foi de 4,628 +/- 0,474 mm, a distância da superfície cortical ao túber cinéreo foi de 69,315 +/- 4,564 mm e a distância da superfície cortical ao aqueduto cerebral foi de 75,654 +/- 4,950 mm. Na avaliação qualitativa, observamos que o acesso transforniceal transcorioideo permitiu incremento da visualização das estruturas da região anteroinferior do terceiro ventrículo. Não houve diferença quanto à exposição das estruturas da região média e posterior em ambos os acessos. Conclusões: O acesso transforniceal transcorioideo propicia maior exposição cirúrgica da região anterior do terceiro ventrículo em comparação com aquela oferecida pelo acesso transcorioideo. O estudo morfométrico estabeleceu valores médios das estruturas anatômicas comuns aos dois acessos na população estudada / Introduction: Approaches to the third ventricle constitute a formidable challenge to the neurosurgeon and, in this context, anatomical and morphometric studies are useful to establish the limitations and advantages of certain surgical approaches. The transchoroidal approach is a versatile one that promotes adequate exposure of the middle and posterior regions of the third ventricle. However, the column of fornix limits the exposure of the anterior third ventricle region. There is evidence that the ipsilateral section of the column of fornix has little effect on the cognitive function. This thesis compares the anatomical exposure using the transchoroidal transforniceal technique with the transchoroidal approach, and performs morphometric assessment of relevant structures common to both approaches. Material and methods: The anatomical exposure achieved through the transchoroidal transcallosal approach and transchoroidal transforniceal transcallosal were compared in 8 fresh cadavers using the neuronavigation system (Artis, Brasilia, Brazil), to assess the working area, microsurgical exposure area, to quantify the angular exposure in the longitudinal and cross-sectional planes to two anatomical targets (tuber cinereum and cerebral aqueduct), to measure the thickness of the right frontal lobe parenchyma, corpus callosum body thickness, longitudinal diameter of the interventricular foramen, working distance from the cortical surface to the tuber cinereum and working distance from the cortical surface to the cerebral aqueduct. The values obtained were submitted to statistical analysis using Wilcoxon\'s test. Results: In the quantitative assessment, the transchoroidal transforniceal approach provided: larger working area (transchoroidal transforniceal = 150.299 +/- 11.147 mm2; transchoroidal = 121.421 +/- 7.698 mm2; p < 0.05), larger area of microsurgical exposure (transforniceal transchoroidal = 100.920 +/- 8.764 mm2; transchoroidal = 79.944 +/- 4.954 mm2; p < 0.05), larger area of angular exposure in the longitudinal plane to the tuber cinereum (transchoroidal transforniceal = 70.898 +/- 6.598 degrees; transchoroidal = 63.838 + / - 5,770 degrees; p < 0.05) and larger area of angular exposure in the longitudinal plane to the cerebral aqueduct (transforniceal transchoroidal = 61.806 +/- 6.406 degrees; transchoroidal = 54.998 +/- 5.102 degrees; p < 0.05) when compared to the transchoroidal approach. No differences were observed in the angular exposure along the cross-sectional axis for both anatomical targets (tuber cinereum and cerebral aqueduct) (p > 0.05). The mean thickness of the right frontal lobe was 34.869 +/- 3.439 mm, the thickness of the corpus callosum body was 10.085 +/- 1.172 mm, the diameter of the interventricular foramen was 4,628 +/- 0,474 mm, the distance from the cortical surface to the tuber cinereum was 69.315 +/- 4.564 mm, and the distance from the cortical surface to the cerebral aqueduct was 75.654 +/- 4.950 mm. In the qualitative assessment, we observed that the transforniceal transchoroidal approach allowed better visualization of the structures in the anterior third ventricle region. There was no difference regarding exposure of structures in the middle and posterior regions with both access. Conclusions: The transforniceal transchoroidal approach provides greater surgical exposure of the anterior third ventricle region than that obtained with the transchoroidal approach. The morphometric study established mean values of anatomical structures that are common to both approaches in the assessed population

Pupillövervakning : specialistsjuksköterskans användning inom neurokirurgisk intensivvård

Alm, Jenny, Furness, Per January 2010 (has links)
Bakgrund: Pupillövervakning är en del i den neurologiska bedömningen med hög relevans för neurokirurgiska intensivvårdspatienter. Den finns även beskriven som del i smärt- och sederingsövervakning. Syfte: Att undersöka hur specialistsjuksköterskor inom neurokirurgisk intensivvård använder sig av pupillövervakning i sitt arbete. Metod: Studien utfördes som en semistrukturerad intervjustudie. Sex sjuksköterskor verksamma inom neurokirurgisk intensivvård intervjuades. Materialet analyserades och presenterades i form av teman och kategorier. Resultat: De två teman som framkom var Att följa förlopp och Att utvärdera tillförlitlighet. Att följa förlopp innebar att pupillövervakningen beskrevs som en del i att följa patientens status och för att vidta, avvakta med och utvärdera omvårdnadsinterventioner. Dokumentering och rapportering av pupillövervakningen visade sig ha stor betydelse för att följa patientens förlopp. I temat Att utvärdera tillförlitlighet framkom att sjuksköterskorna, med hjälp av pupillövervakning, beskrevs skilja faktiska förändringar i patientens status mot felvärden på grund av tekniska problem, men även för att kontrollera om en känsla hos sjuksköterskan överensstämde med verkligheten. Slutsats: Vårt resultat har visat att specialistsjuksköterskor inom neurokirurgisk intensivvård använder pupillövervakning inte bara för att följa patienters status och för att utvärdera interventioner utan även för att utvärdera tekniken och känslans tillförlitlighet. / Background: Pupil monitoring is part of the neurological assessment of high relevance to the neurosurgical intensive care patients. It is also described as part of pain and sedation monitoring. Objective: To investigate how specialist nurses in neurosurgical intensive care use pupil monitoring in their work. Method: The study was conducted as a semi-structured interview study. Six nurses working in neurosurgical intensive care were interviewed. The material was analyzed and presented in terms of themes and categories. Results: The two themes that emerged were To follow the course and To evaluate reliability. To follow the course meant that the pupil monitoring was described as part of monitoring and evaluating patient status and to take, defer, and evaluate nursing interventions. Documentation and reporting of pupil monitoring proved to be very important to follow patients' progress. The theme To evaluate the reliability revealed that nurses, with the help of pupil supervision, was described to distinguish actual changes in patient status to error values because of technical problems, but also to verify whether a sense of the nurse were in line with reality. Conclusion: Our results have shown that specialist nurses in neurosurgical intensive care use pupil monitoring not only to monitor patients' status and to evaluate interventions but also to evaluate the technology and reliability of emotional influence.

Ventrikeldränagerelaterade infektioner inom neurokirurgisk vård : en journalstudie före och efter införandet av ett åtgärdspaket / External ventricular drainage related infections within neurosurgical care : a journal study before and after the introduction of a bundle

Fält, Marie January 2010 (has links)
Bakgrund: Ventrikeldränage används inom neurokirurgisk vård för medicinsk behandling, dränering av likvor samt mätning av intrakraniellt tryck. En infektion relaterat till ett ventrikeldränage kan vara livshotande och ge permanenta skador hos patienten. Syfte: Att analysera dokumenterade skillnader i ventrikeldränagerelaterade infektioner, vårdtid och mortalitet, före och efter införande av nya hygienrutiner - ett åtgärdspaket. Metod: Ett åtgärdspaket med medicinska- och omvårdnadsåtgärder har med hjälp av genombrottsmetoden tagits fram för att minska de ventrikeldränagerelaterade infektionerna. Studien är kvantitativ med empirisk ansats. Konsekutivt urval av patienter som erhållit ventrikeldränage under första halvåret 2008 samt första halvåret 2009. Totalt 150 patienter har ingått i studien. Data har analyserats med deskriptiv och analytiska statistik. Resultat: De vårdrelaterade infektionerna minskade mellan de två mätperioderna. Resultatet visar inga tydliga samband mellan vilken av åtgärderna som haft effekt på minskningen av infektionerna. Däremot ses att de som haft bättre följsamhet till åtgärdspaketet har drabbats av färre infektioner. Signifikant samband finns mellan riskhandhavande som spolning av dränage och läckage vid dränaget instickställe, samt infektioner. Slutsats: Studien indikerade i att de ventrikeldränagerelaterade infektionerna har minskat efter insättande av åtgärdspaketet. / Background: External ventricular drainage (EVD) is used within neurosurgical care for medical treatment, temporary drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and to measure intracranial pressure. An infection related to an EVD can be life threatening and cause permanent damage to the patient. Objective: To analyze the documented differences in EVD related infections, length of hospitalization and mortality, before and after the introduction of new hygiene routines – a bundle. Method: A package with medical and nursing interventions has been developed using a breakthrough method to reduce EVD related infections. The study is quantitative and has an empirical approach. A consecutive sample of patients who received an EVD during the first half of 2008 and 2009 respectively were chosen. In total 150 patients were included in the study. The data was analyzed with descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: The EVD related infections have decreased between the two time periods. No clear correlation between which actions had a direct effect on the reduction of infections was found. Those patients that had a better adherence to the package suffered fewer infections. A prevalent correlation was found between high risk actions such as flushing the EVD and CSF leaks from the site of puncture, and subsequent infections. Conclusion: The study indicates that the EVD related infections have decreased after the implementation of the package.

Entwicklung und Evaluation eines neurochirurgischen phantom-basierten Trainingssystems zur Planung und Durchführung von Kraniotomien in der operativen Behandlung intrakranieller Tumore

Müns, Andrea 20 August 2015 (has links)
Aufgrund der zunehmenden komplexen Verzahnung zwischen Operateur und technischen Komponenten bei Hirntumoroperationen, werden innovative Trainingslösungen und standardisierte Evaluationsmethoden in der neurochirurgischen Facharztausbildung angestrebt. Phantombasierte Trainingssysteme können die derzeitige Ausbildung sinnvoll ergänzen, indem sie eine risikoarme Umgebung außerhalb des Operationssaal schaffen. Dabei können praktische und theoretische Komponenten der Hirntumorchirurgie in wiederholbaren Trainingseinheiten ohne Risiko für den Patienten miteinander verbunden werden. Innerhalb eines EFRE (Europäischer Fond für regionale Entwicklung) geförderten Kooperationsprojektes mit der Firma Phacon GmbH wurde ein Prototyp eines solchen Trainingssystems entwickelt. Das enthaltene Kopfphantom besteht aus einer dreiteiligen Konstruktion mit wieder verwendbarem Basissystem und Adapter in Kopfform, sowie einem austauschbaren Modul für die einmalige Verwendung je Trainingseinheit. Eine zweiarmige Kamera zeichnet Trackingdaten auf, während ein Laptop inklusive zugehöriger Software als Navigationsplattform dient. Die Grundlage für die Navigation bilden reale MRT Patientendatensätze, die entsprechend auf die Anatomie des Kopfphantoms adaptiert wurden. Ein Trainingslauf deckt die chirurgische Planung des optimalen Zugangsweges, die Kopflagerung, die Einstellung der Trackingkameras, die Registrierung des Kopfphantoms, sowie die navigierte Kraniotomie mit realen OP-Instrumenten ab. Der entwickelte Prototyp wurde hinsichtlich seiner Anwendbarkeit in der neurochirurgischen Facharztausbildung in einer ersten Proof-of-Concept- Studie evaluiert, wobei fünf Assistenzärzte verschiedenen Ausbildungsgrades jeweils ein komplettes Training auf dem gleichen Patientendatensatz durchführten. Anschließend war ein Fragebogen zur Bewertung der einzelnen Systemkomponenten auszufüllen. Die Auswertung der Fragebögen ergab im Mittel das Resultat gut für die Phantomkonstruktion und die verwendeten Materialien. Der Lerneffekt bezüglich der navigierten Planung wurde genauso wie der Effekt auf das Sicherheitsgefühl des Operateurs vor Ausführung der ersten eigenständig durchgeführten Kraniotomien als sehr gut eingeschätzt. Konstruktive Verbesserungsvorschläge wurden nach Studienabschluss bereits umgesetzt [23]. In einer zweiten Evaluationsstudie lag der Fokus auf potentiell erreichbaren Lernkurven durch wiederholte Trainingseinheiten auf verschiedenen Datensätzen. Dazu führten neun Assistenzärzte verschiedener Ausbildungsgrade jeweils drei Trainings auf Datensätzen mit differenten Tumorlokalitäten durch. Während des Trainings wurden durch einen Facharzt die einzelnen Ausführungsschritte beobachtet und bewertet. Insgesamt konnten in einem Trainingsdurchlauf 23 Punkte erreicht werden, welche für Kriterien wie Tumoridentifikation, Kopflagerung, Registrierungsgenauigkeit, Schonung vordefinierter Risikostrukturen, Planungs- und Ausführungsgenauigkeit, Tumorerreichbarkeit und Hautnaht vergeben wurden. Für alle Schritte wurde die benötigte Zeit aufgezeichnet. Im Mittel wurde ein Punktanstieg zwischen dem ersten und dem dritten Training von 16.9 auf 20.4 Punkte verzeichnet. Die mittlere Zeit bis zur Kraniotomie verbesserte sich von rund 29 Minuten auf rund 21 Minuten zwischen dem ersten und dem dritten Trainingsdurchlauf. Die benötigte Zeit bis zur Hautnaht sank im Mittel von rund 38 Minuten auf rund 27 Minuten zwischen dem ersten und dem dritten Training. Signifikante Korrelationen wurden zwischen Zeit bis zur Kraniotomie und Trainingsanzahl (p < .05), zwischen Zeit bis zur Hautnaht und Trainingsanzahl (p < .05) sowie zwischen erreichter Punktzahl und Trainingsanzahl (p < .01) gefunden. Die Ergebnisse beider Studien weisen darauf hin, dass das entwickelte Trainingssystem einen vielversprechenden Ansatz für die Ergänzung der derzeitigen Facharztausbildung in der Neurochirurgie darstellt. Durch die risikoarme Simulationsumgebung können theoretische und praktische Aspekte der Hirntumorchirurgie sinnvoll verbunden werden. Dem Assistenzarzt wird die Möglichkeit gegeben, sich mit den komplexen Strukturen von eigenständig durchgeführten Kraniotomien vertraut zu machen und damit die anfängliche Lernkurve in die Trainingsumgebung zu verlagern. Hinterfragt werden muss, inwieweit es das Trainingssystem ermöglicht, die chirurgischen Fähigkeiten so zu verbessern, dass diese auch in die reale OP-Umgebung unter realen Bedingungen übertragbar sind und wie diese potentielle Verbesserung zu messen ist [3]. Natürlich unterscheidet sich das haptische Feedback am Trainingsphantom gegenüber der realen menschlichen Anatomie. Weiterhin sind die psychologische Situation und der Erwartungsdruck im OP-Saal nicht mit einer Trainingsumgebung vergleichbar. Es ist daher nicht einfach, ein geeignetes Messinstrument für die Übertragbarkeit des Lerneffektes auf reale OP-Bedingungen zu finden. Nichts desto trotz konnten die beiden durchgeführten Studien bereits zeigen, dass eine Trainingsumgebung Vorteile gegenüber der Situation im OP-Saal bietet. Gerade die Anfangszeit der Facharztausbildung ist größtenteils durch Assistieren im OP-Saal gekennzeichnet, was den Lerneffekt bezüglich autonomer Entscheidungen und Schlussfolgerungen aus begangenen Fehlern begrenzt. Am Phantom hingegen kann die direkte Konsequenz, beispielsweise am Ergebnis der Nichterreichbarkeit des Tumors, direkt erfahren werden. Die theoretischen Konzepte für die Kopflagerung des Patienten in Abhängigkeit von der Tumorlokalisation können als übertragbar auf die OP-Situation angesehen werden, wenngleich das haptische Feedback am Phantom ein anderes ist. Der dadurch erreichbare Lerneffekt bietet das Potential, Lagerungen häufiger selbstständig durch den Assistenzarzt im OP-Saal vorbereiten zu lassen. Die Handhabung des Navigationssystems ist ebenfalls sehr nahe an den technischen Bedingungen im OP-Saal und trägt damit zu einem besseren Verständnis bei. Gegenüber virtuellen Systemen bieten phantom-basierte Trainingssysteme den Vorteil des taktilen Kopfphantoms welches mit realen Instrumenten bearbeitet werden kann und damit eine realistische Hand-Auge-Koordination während des Trainings gewährleistet. Die geringeren Investitionskosten für die Anschaffung ermöglicht auch kleineren Kliniken, eine Simulationsumgebung in die Facharztausbildung zu integrieren. Nachteilig gegenüber virtuellen Systemen ist die auf einmalige Verwendung begrenzte Modulverfügbarkeit, welche permanent laufende Kosten und Materialverlust verursacht. Das vorgestellte Trainingssystem soll nicht als Konkurrenzprodukt zu virtuellen Systemen, sondern vielmehr als sinnvolle Ergänzung innerhalb der verfügbaren Trainingsmethoden verstanden werden. Die derzeitige und zukünftige Weiterentwicklung des Systems fokussiert sich auf die Implementierung des automatisierbaren Evaluationskonzeptes basierend auf vordefinierten, verschiedenen Master-Zugängen, sowie auf die Simulation von Risikostrukturen und Einbezug entsprechender Verletzungen in das Evaluationskonzept. Die getrackten Instrumente während der Simulation können so zusammen mit den vordefinierten Zugangswegen die zukünftige Basis für ein essentielles objektives Trainingsfeedback bilden. Auch in der Entwicklung befindet sich die Umsetzung des Ultraschall-Simulationstools, welches eine finale transdurale Identifikation des Tumors bei korrekt ausgeführter Kraniotomie ermöglichen soll. Aus den intraoperativ akquirierten Patienten-Ultraschalldaten können aufgrund des getrackten Ultraschalldummy’s die korrespondierenden Ultraschallschichten berechnet und visualisiert werden. Dadurch bekommt der Trainierende den Eindruck einer realen Ultraschalluntersuchung und kann die Handhabung und Koordination einer Ultraschallaufnahme sowie die Orientierung im resultierenden Ultraschallvolumen trainieren. Generell haben phantom-basierte Trainingssysteme durch effektive Trainingseinheiten das Potential, die neurochirurgische Facharztausbildung zu bereichern und hinsichtlich Risikomanagement, Patientensicherheit und OP-Verfügbarkeit zu verbessern.:Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Abkürzungsverzeichnis 1 2 Bibliografische Zusammenfassung 2 3 Einführung 4 3.1 Motivation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 3.2 Stand der Technik . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 3.3 Systemaufbau . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 3.3.1 Hardware . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 3.3.2 Datensätze . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 3.3.3 Software und Trainingsablauf . . . . . . . . . . . 12 3.4 Qualitative Evaluation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 3.5 Quantitative Evaluation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 4 Publikation 1 - A neurosurgical phantom-based training system with ultrasound simulation 23 5 Publikation 2 - Evaluation of a novel phantom-based neurosurgical training system 31 6 Zusammenfassung 39 7 Literaturverzeichnis 44 8 Anlagen 48 8.1 Selbstständigkeitserklärung . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 8.2 Lebenslauf . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 49 8.3 Publikationsliste . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 8.4 Danksagung . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 53 8.5 Fragebogen Quantitative Studie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54 8.6 Fragebogen Qualitative Studie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 56

Evaluation of a novel phantom‑based neurosurgical training system

Müns, Andrea, Meixensberger, Jürgen, Lindner, Dirk January 2014 (has links)
Background: The complexity of neurosurgical interventions demands innovative training solutions and standardized evaluation methods that in recent times have been the object of increased research interest. The objective is to establish an education curriculum on a phantom‑based training system incorporating theoretical and practical components for important aspects of brain tumor surgery. Methods: Training covers surgical planning of the optimal access path based on real patient data, setup of the navigation system including phantom registration and navigated craniotomy with real instruments. Nine residents from different education levels carried out three simulations on different data sets with varying tumor locations. Trainings were evaluated by a specialist using a uniform score system assessing tumor identification, registration accuracy, injured structures, planning and execution accuracy, tumor accessibility and required time. Results: Average scores improved from 16.9 to 20.4 between first and third training. Average time to craniotomy improved from 28.97 to 21.07 min, average time to suture improved from 37.83 to 27.47 min. Significant correlations were found between time to craniotomy and number of training (P < 0.05), between time to suture and number of training (P < 0.05) as well as between score and number of training (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The training system is evaluated to be a suitable training tool for residents to become familiar with the complex procedures of autonomous neurosurgical planning and conducting of craniotomies in tumor surgeries. Becoming more confident is supposed to result in less error‑prone and faster operation procedures and thus is a benefit for both physicians and patients.
