Surgery Pathway Guidance And Boundary System
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, data for a patient indicating a representation of the patient;
receiving data indicating (i) a surgical target region within the representation of the patient; and
(ii) a surgical entry portal within the representation of the patient;
providing a graphical display of (i) the representation of the patient, and (ii) a surgical pathway from the surgical entry portal to the surgical target region within the representation;
defining one or more surgical boundaries within the representation;
receiving data indicating a position of a surgical instrument with respect to the representation of the patient;
based on the received data indicating the position of the surgical instrument, determining that the surgical instrument is within a pre-determined threshold distance from at least one of the one or more surgical boundaries; and
in response to the determining, providing feedback indicating that the surgical instrument is within the pre-determined threshold distance from at least one of the one or more surgical boundaries.

Abstract
Described herein are methods and systems for defining surgical boundaries. One example method involves receiving data indicating a representation of a patient; receiving data indicating (i) a surgical target region within the representation of the patient; and (ii) a surgical entry portal within the representation of the patient; providing a graphical display of (i) the representation of the patient, and (ii) a surgical pathway from the surgical entry portal to the surgical target region; defining one or more surgical boundaries within the representation; receiving data indicating a position of a surgical instrument with respect to the representation; based on the received data indicating the position of the surgical instrument, determining that the surgical instrument is within a threshold distance from the one or more surgical boundaries; and providing feedback indicating that the surgical instrument is within the predetermined threshold distance from the one or more surgical boundaries.

18. A computing system comprising:
-
a physical computer readable medium; and program instructions stored on the physical computer readable medium and executable by at least one processor to; receive, by a computing device, data for a patient indicating a representation of the patient; receive data indicating (i) a surgical target region within the representation of the patient; and
(ii) a surgical entry portal within the representation of the patient;provide a graphical display of (i) the representation of the patient, and (ii) a surgical pathway from the surgical entry portal to the surgical target region within the representation; define one or more surgical boundaries within the representation; receive data indicating a position of a surgical instrument with respect to the representation of the patient; based on the received data indicating the position of the surgical instrument, determine that the surgical instrument is within a pre-determined threshold distance from at least one of the one or more surgical boundaries; and in response to the determining, provide feedback indicating that the surgical instrument is within the pre-determined threshold distance from at least one of the one or more surgical boundaries.

35. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory tangible computer readable medium configured to store at least executable instructions, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform functions comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing device, data for a patient indicating a representation of the patient; receiving data indicating (i) a surgical target region within the representation of the patient; and
(ii) a surgical entry portal within the representation of the patient;providing a graphical display of (i) the representation of the patient, and (ii) a surgical pathway from the surgical entry portal to the surgical target region within the representation;
defining one or more surgical boundaries within the representation;receiving data indicating a position of a surgical instrument with respect to the representation of the patient; based on the received data indicating the position of the surgical instrument, determining that the surgical instrument is within a pre-determined threshold distance from at least one of the one or more surgical boundaries; and in response to the determining, providing feedback indicating that the surgical instrument is within the pre-determined threshold distance from at least one of the one or more surgical boundaries.
