Abstract: A lithotripter includes a motor operable to produce a rotational motion, a first cam with a first set of teeth, and a second cam with a second set of teeth configured to selectively engage with the first set of teeth. The first cam is coupled to the motor so that the rotational motion produced by the motor produces rotational motion of the first cam, and the selective engagement between the first set of teeth and the second set of teeth converts the rotational motion of the first cam to a linear waveform that is transmitted through the second cam. The motor, the first cam, and the second cam are disposed in a driver housing, and a wave guide shaft is coupled to the second cam. The wave guide shaft transmits the linear waveform to at least one urinary tract stone to break up the at least one urinary tract stone into fragments.

Abstract: An endoscope can include an elongated endoscope body. An optical fiber can extend along the endoscope body. The optical fiber can direct therapeutic light and illumination light longitudinally along the optical fiber to a distal portion of the endoscope body. The therapeutic light and the illumination light can have different wavelengths. A wavelength-sensitive light separator, disposed at a distal portion of the optical fiber, can direct the illumination light to exit the optical fiber laterally through a lateral side of the optical fiber at the distal portion of the optical fiber and permit the therapeutic light to exit the optical fiber longitudinally through a distal end of the optical fiber. Examples of suitable wavelength-sensitive light separators can include one or more fiber Bragg gratings that can be obliquely angled, or a diffraction grating disposed on a lateral edge of a length of coreless fiber.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying composition of an anatomical target using a series of different colored light sources are provided. In an example, a method can include emitting light from multiple illumination sources, receiving an illumination response from an anatomical target at an optical sensor, providing an image representative of the anatomical target, and providing spectral intensity information of the illumination response in addition to the image. Each illumination source can emit light having a range of frequencies centered about a different frequency than each other illumination source.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for identifying a target in a body using a spectroscopic feedback from the target are disclosed. An exemplary surgical feedback control system comprises a feedback analyzer configured to receive a reflected signal from a target in response to electromagnetic radiation directed at a target, and a controller in operative communication with the feedback analyzer. The controller can generate a control signal to a surgical system to perform a predetermined operation based upon the received reflected signal, including determining a composition of the target, or programming a laser setting to direct laser energy to the target.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting depth contours of an anatomical target and for enhancing imaging of the anatomical target are provided. In an example, a reference pattern of light can be projected across an anatomical target and an image of the reflected light pattern upon the anatomical target can be captured. The captured light pattern can be analyzed to determine contour information, which can then be used to provide 3D cues to enhance a 2-dimensional image of the anatomical target.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for automatic control of surgical site temperature during an endoscopic procedure are disclosed. An exemplary endoscopic surgical system comprises an endoscopic surgical device controllably coupled to a medical instrument to deliver energy to a surgical site during a procedure, an imaging sensor to generate images or video frames of at least a portion of the surgical site during the procedure, and a controller circuit to analyze the generated images or video frames to determine whether a degree of heat built up in a first target at the surgical site exceeds a predetermined threshold. Based on such determination, the controller circuit can determine whether to adjust at least one operating parameter associated with the endoscopic surgical system to achieve or maintain a treatment effect of a different second target at the surgical site while avoid damaging the first target during the procedure.
