During laparoscopic surgery for colorectal or gastric cancers, locating the tumor for excision is difficult owing to it being obscured by mucous membranes. Therefore, a clip can be installed around the tumor, which can be located using a sensor. Most of the clip-detectors developed thus far can only detect tumors in either the colon or stomach and require a wire to connect the clip and detector. This study designs a clip and detector that can locate a tumor in the stomach and colon. The clip contains a neodymium magnet that generates a magnetic field, and the detector includes a Colpitts oscillator that allows magnetic coupling of the clip and detector. After installing the prepared clip at the tumor location, the detector is used to locate the clip. To test the clip and detector, we conducted animal experiments, during which four clips were installed in the colon and stomach of a mini pig. We succeeded in locating the clips within 2.17 and 3.14 s in the stomach and colon, respectively, which were shorter than the detection times reported in previous studies. The demand for laparoscopic surgery and endoscopes is predicted to increase owing to this method.

Background: Accurately estimating the 6D pose of snake-like wrist-type surgical instruments is challenging due to their complex kinematics and flexible design.
Methods: We propose ERegPose, a comprehensive strategy for precise 6D pose estimation. The strategy consists of two components: ERegPoseNet, an original deep neural network model designed for explicit regression of the instrument's 6D pose, and an annotated in-house dataset of simulated surgical operations.

Background: As advancements in surgical instruments and techniques continue to evolve, minimally invasive surgery has become increasingly preferred as a means of reducing patient pain and recovery time. However, one major challenge in performing minimally invasive surgery for early gastrointestinal cancer is accurately identifying the location of the lesion. This is particularly difficult when the lesion is confined to the lumen of the intestine and cannot be visually confirmed from the outside during surgery.

This backbone utilizes visual prompt learning and cross-attention in CLIP to extract image and text-based prior knowledge. Using predefined and learnable prompts, FastTCM-CR50 introduces an instance-language matching process to enhance the synergy between image and text embeddings, thereby refining text regions.
