    Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a viewing apparatus for a surgical device, the apparatus including a lens assembly including a first polarizer, a display device configured to present an image of a surgical scene, and a reflective surface oriented at an acute angle with respect to the display device such that light from the display device is reflected from the reflective surface towards the lens assembly. The first polarizer in the lens assembly is configured such that light reflected from the reflective surface passes through the first polarizer, and light reaching the first polarizer without being reflected from the reflective surface is substantially blocked.

    Abstract: A computer-assisted surgical system is configured to activate a first mode of operation in which movement of a user control mechanism is translated to movement of a surgical instrument coupled to a manipulator arm; receive, during the first mode of operation, a first user input by way of a user input mechanism associated with the user control mechanism; activate, based on the first user input, a second mode of operation in which the user control mechanism is repositionable without causing the surgical instrument to move; receive, during the first mode of operation, a second user input by way of the user input mechanism, wherein the second user input is different from the first user input; and activate, based on the second user input, a function associated with a third mode of operation different from the first and second modes of operation.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a surgical instrument, such as a tissue sealing instrument, with an elongate shaft and an end effector. The end effector includes a first jaw and a second jaw that includes a staple cartridge with a plurality of staples for engaging tissue. The instrument further includes a drive member for closing the jaws and engaging the staples, and an actuation mechanism, such as a coil, in contact with the drive member. The actuation mechanism is configured to translate the drive member distally through the first jaw (instead of through the staple cartridge as in conventional surgical stapling instruments). Eliminating the internal channel for the actuation coil from the staple cartridge provides more space in the cartridge for the staples, allowing for the use of taller staples and/or a more compact and maneuverable instrument.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for training a machine learning model to perform feature extraction. The technique includes executing a student version of the machine learning model to generate a first set of features from a first set of image crops and executing a teacher version of the machine learning model to generate a second set of features from a second set of image crops. The technique also includes training the student version of the machine learning model based on one or more losses computed between the first and second sets of features. The technique further includes transmitting the trained student version of the machine learning model to a server, wherein the trained student version can be aggregated by the server with additional trained student versions of the machine learning model to generate a global version of the machine learning model.

    Abstract: A system and method of specular reflection detection and reduction includes a processing unit including one or more processors and an imaging unit coupled to the processing unit. The imaging unit includes one or more first illuminators for providing illumination of a region of interest, one or more first detectors for detecting reflections of the illumination, one or more second illuminators for triggering fluorescing of one or more fluorescent materials in the region of interest, and one or more second detectors for detecting the fluorescing of the fluorescent materials. The processing unit is configured to receive a first image from the first detectors, determine one or more regions of high specular reflection in the first image, mask out the regions of high specular reflection in the first image, and generate a composite image based on the masked first image and the detected fluorescence. The first image includes the detected reflections.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for censoring selected information. A mobile device is registered with a medical system. The medical system includes a display device. A trigger is received from the mobile device at the medical system. A display on the display device is modified in response to the received trigger. Selected information in the display is censored in the modified display. Alternatively, an image of a display on the display device is generated with selected information censored in response to receiving the trigger. The image of the display with the selected information censored is sent to the mobile device.
