CoBot – surgical navigation for rectal cancer

Tumor operations on the rectum are performed along a millimeter-thin layer that borders on important nerves. If they are damaged, this can lead to incontinence and sexual dysfunction. In the Dresden "CoBot" project, researchers are developing a computer-based assistance system to significantly reduce the risk of such complications in the future with the help of artificial intelligence.

Robot-assisted surgery

In the operating theatre of the future, computer-based assistance systems will play a much greater role than today. They are designed to make workflows simpler and safer. Scientists at the NCT/UCC, CeTI and EKFZ for Digital Health are developing such systems with the help of new sensor technologies, artificial intelligence and human-machine interaction.

AI-assisted surgical training for keyhole surgery

When prospective surgeons train for keyhole surgery, their learning progress can hardly be assessed objectively so far. Researchers at the NCT/UCC Dresden, EKFZ for Digital Health and CeTI are therefore developing an AI-assisted system that makes training progress measurable and provides tailormade improvement suggestions.

AI research for cancer surgery

Using computer-based assistance systems to reduce the risk of complications in tumor operations, make workflows in the operating room simpler and safer, and measure surgeons' training progress in keyhole operations.

The possibilities that artificial intelligence provides for cancer surgery are manifold. Researchers at the NCT/UCC Dresden, EKFZ for Digital Health and CeTI are therefore pooling interdisciplinary knowledge in various research projects for the benefit of patients.
