Abstract

A method to optimise the whole process of operation/vaporising the prostate tissue using a prostatectomy robot to relieve urethra blockage is presented. The cavity that closely satisfies the surgeon defined model can be created by robot in half of the time that done manually, The desired vaporising region can even be reshaped during the operation, resulting in new optimised vaporising sequence that excludes the region already operated. The method also excluds vulnerable regions from operation for safety, All models maintained benefit for pre/intra/post-operation evaluation. The method exhibits a promising future for the application of robotic prostatectomy and robotic surgery on soft tissue in general.
