提出附着锚点框架,提升腹腔镜结直肠手术抓取点预测精度。
Attachment Anchors: A Novel Framework for Laparoscopic Grasping Point Prediction in Colorectal Surgery
- 用附着锚点表征组织与解剖附着的局部几何力学关系
- 在90例手术数据上提升抓取点预测准确率,尤其对未知术式/术者有效
- 为结直肠手术自主操作提供可泛化的中间表示,适合医疗机器人研究者
精确抓取点预测是微创手术中自主组织操作的关键挑战,尤其在复杂多变的结直肠手术中。由于其复杂性和长时程特性,当前研究对结直肠手术覆盖不足,但其重复性操作特性使其成为机器学习辅助的潜力场景。本文提出附着锚点(attachment anchors),一种编码组织与其解剖附着局部几何与力学关系的结构化表示,通过将手术场景归一化到一致的局部参考系,降低抓取点预测的不确定性。实验表明,该表示可从腹腔镜图像中预测,并集成至基于机器学习的抓取框架。在包含90例结直肠手术的数据集上,附着锚点显著优于仅依赖图像的基线方法,尤其在分布外场景(未见术式、不同主刀医师)表现更优。结果表明,附着锚点是学习型结直肠手术组织操作的有效中间表示。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate grasping point prediction is a key challenge for autonomous tissue manipulation in minimally invasive surgery, particularly in complex and variable procedures such as colorectal interventions. Due to their complexity and prolonged duration, colorectal procedures have been underrepresented in current research. At the same time, they pose a particularly interesting learning environment due to repetitive tissue manipulation, making them a promising entry point for autonomous, machine learning-driven support. Therefore, in this work, we introduce attachment anchors, a structured representation that encodes the local geometric and mechanical relationships between tissue and its anatomical attachments in colorectal surgery. This representation reduces uncertainty in grasping point prediction by normalizing surgical scenes into a consistent local reference frame. We demonstrate that attachment anchors can be predicted from laparoscopic images and incorporated into a grasping framework based on machine learning. Experiments on a dataset of 90 colorectal surgeries demonstrate that attachment anchors improve grasping point prediction compared to image-only baselines. There are particularly strong gains in out-of-distribution settings, including unseen procedures and operating surgeons. These results suggest that attachment anchors are an effective intermediate representation for learning-based tissue manipulation in colorectal surgery.
