COMPUTER-ASSISTED SURGERY SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

There is described a system and a method for assisting a user manipulating an object during a surgery, the method comprising: tracking the object in a sterile field in which surgery is being performed at a location using a tracking device which generates tracking data; processing the tracking data using a processing device located outside the sterile field to generate position and orientation information related to the object; and sending the position and orientation information related to the object to a displaying device positioned in the sterile field adjacent to the location at which the surgery is being performed, for display to the user.

1. A system for assisting a user manipulating an object during a surgery, the system comprising:
a tracking device for tracking the object in a sterile field in which surgery is being performed, and for generating tracking data for the object; a processing device positioned outside the sterile field, for generating tracking information related to the object by processing the tracking data received from the tracking device; and a sterilized displaying device located in a volume within the sterile field defined as being above a plane of and delimited by an operating table and below the shoulders of an operator standing next to a patient lying on the operating table, the displaying device for displaying the tracking information received wirelessly from the processing device to the user during the surgery, the displaying device having a touch-screen for interaction with the user through said processing device, the displaying device being supported directly by the operating table via a support extending between the displaying device and the operating table.
