Abstract

Modern surgical tools provide no advanced features like automated error avoidance or diagnostic information regarding the tissues they interact with. This work motivates and presents the design of a &ldquo;smart&rdquo; laparoscopic surgical grasper that can identify the tissue it is grasping while the grasp is occurring. This allows automated prevention of certain errors like crush injury. A nonlinear dynamical model of tissue mechanics is adopted along with an extended Kalman filter to demonstrate the feasibility of this design in simulation and <italic>in situ</italic and <italic>in vivo</italic> on porcine models. Results indicate that while the approach is sensitive to initial conditions, tissue can be identified during the first 0.3s of a grasp.
