Steerable OCT catheter for real-time assistance during teleoperated endoscopic treatment of colorectal cancer

Résumé

When detected early, colorectal cancer can be treated with minimally invasive flexible endoscopy. However, since only specialized experts can delineate margins and perform endoscopic resections of lesions, patients still often undergo colon resections. To better assist in the performance of surgical tasks, a robotized flexible interventional endoscope was previously developed, having two additional side channels for surgical instrument. We propose to enhance the imaging capabilities of this device by combining it with optical coherence tomography (OCT). For this purpose, we have developed a new steerable OCT instrument with an outer diameter of 3.5 mm. The steerable instrument is terminated with a 2 cm long transparent sheath to allow three-dimensional OCT imaging using a side-focusing optical probe with two external scanning actuators. The instrument is connected to an OCT imaging system built around the OCT Axsun engine, with a 1310 nm center wavelength swept source laser and 100 kHz A-line rate. Once inserted in one of the side channels of the robotized endoscope, bending, rotation and translation of the steerable OCT instrument can be controlled by a physician using a joystick. Ex vivo and in vivo tests show that the novel, steerable and teleoperated OCT device enhances dexterity, allowing for inspection of the surgical field without the need for changing the position of the main endoscope.
