In this study, we attempted to map perforator location using 3-dimensional computed tomography angiography (CTA), a newly developed application, and a tablet device. Preliminary examinations to test the device were conducted in mini-pigs. We used 5 female mini-pigs. Preoperative imaging of the vasculature was undertaken with CTA in the prone position, following Iopamidol (200 ml) injection via the internal jugular vein. Prior to the examination, we placed round markers on the backs of the mini-pigs. To assess accuracy, we compared the perforator positions acquired with an optical position measurement device with the perforator positions acquired with the tablet device. Furthermore, we compared the perforator positions with the tablet navigation device, which we measured directly. We measured 12 perforators with the optical position measurement device. The mean difference was 10 mm (minimum, 2 mm; maximum, 20 mm). We measured these perforators with the tablet navigation device. The mean difference was 5.4 mm (minimum, 0 mm; maximum, 20 mm). The perforator flaps were elevated safely. The perforator flaps could be elevated safely using our device, as the mean difference was only 10 mm, which is acceptable for navigating perforator flap operations. Pig backs are triangular in shape; therefore, we were unable to place markers on the contralateral side. Thus, for clinical applications of the device, we should determine the ideal marker locations.</p>","PeriodicalId":520597,"journal":{"name":"Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)","volume":" ","pages":"120-127"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40587311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surgical training includes the acquisition of two categories of knowledge: declarative knowledge (i.e. 'knowing what') and procedural knowledge (i.e. 'knowing how'). It is essential to acquire both before performing any particular surgery. There are currently many tools for acquiring procedural knowledge, such as simulators. However, few approaches or tools allow a trainer to formalize and record surgical declarative knowledge, and a trainee to have easy access to it. In this paper, we propose an approach for structuring surgical declarative knowledge according to procedural knowledge and based on surgical process modeling. A dedicated software application has been implemented. We evaluated the concept and the software usability on two procedures with different medical populations: endoscopic third ventriculostomy involving 6 neurosurgeons and preparation of a surgical table for craniotomy involving 4 scrub nurses. The results of both studies show that surgical process models could be a well-adapted approach for structuring and visualizing surgical declarative knowledge. The software application was perceived by neurosurgeons and scrub nurses as an innovative tool for managing and presenting surgical knowledge. The preliminary results show that the feasibility of the proposed approach and the acceptability and usability of the corresponding software.

This is especially problematic when performing multiple osteotomies on bones with complex deformities. We solved this problem by creating a 3D printed bone model that can be referenced intraoperatively and used in combination with the navigation system. We applied these techniques to perform segmental corrective osteotomy for a complex tibial deformity with intramedullary nail (IMN) fixation case of hereditary vitamin D-resistant hypophosphatemic rickets (HVDRR) in an adult man.

Therefore, we planned to use an IMN for correction and fixation of tibial deformity to protect the thin and stretched skin around the deformed tibia. With the assistance of CT-based navigation, we could perform an accurate three-dimensional tibial osteotomy.
