We introduce a soft-tissue simulation framework that replicates the preliminary steps of partial nephrectomy procedure. Furthermore, we show that an end-to-end reinforcement learning algorithm can be trained in the simulation without any user demonstration to accomplish a tissue manipulation task. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first attempts of using DRL agents to manipulate soft tissues for autonomous surgical action execution.

Abstract

We introduce a soft-tissue simulation framework that replicates the preliminary steps of partial nephrectomy procedure. Furthermore, we show that an end-to-end reinforcement learning algorithm can be trained in the simulation without any user demonstration to accomplish a tissue manipulation task. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first attempts of using DRL agents to manipulate soft tissues for autonomous surgical action execution.
