Enhancing telesurgical safety with predictive digital twin synchronization: a framework for latency compensation in robotic surgery
To address latency challenges in robotic telesurgery by proposing a Digital Twin Visual Assistance (DTVA) system that enhances operational efficiency and safety through predictive simulations.
Key Findings:
DTVA demonstrated significant operational improvements across various communication latency conditions (5–900 ms), enhancing surgical precision.
Successful completion of remote radical nephrectomy was achieved under 300 ms latency, validating DTVA's effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
Quantitative assessments showed a strong correlation between virtual-real spatial mismatches and registration errors, indicating areas for further refinement.
Interpretation:
The DTVA system effectively mitigates latency issues in robotic telesurgery, enhancing surgeon's situational awareness and operational safety.
Limitations:
Current digital twin implementations face barriers to clinical adoption due to technical challenges, such as the need for impractical calibration methods.
Existing systems often struggle with real-time interactive procedures, limiting their effectiveness in dynamic surgical environments.
Conclusion:
The DTVA system represents a promising advancement in telesurgery, enabling safer and more efficient surgical procedures despite inherent communication delays, and paving the way for future innovations in the field.
