  • Patent number: 11638519
    Abstract: A system for monitoring a volume of a bladder during a surgical procedure. The system includes one or more processors; and a memory that is communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and stores one or more sequences of instructions, which when executed by one or more processors causes steps to be performed comprising: receiving information of a maximum volume of the bladder before the surgical procedure; receiving one or more ultrasound images from an ultrasonic scanner; based on the one or more ultrasound images, determining a volume of the bladder; comparing a maximum volume of the bladder to the determined volume of the bladder; and responsive to a difference between the maximum volume and determine volume of the bladder exceeding a threshold, issuing a warning associated with the difference.

  • Patent number: 10786147
    Abstract: A system for controlling a pressure inside a bladder through an endoscope, where the distal end portion of the endoscope is located inside the bladder and the endoscope has an inlet port through which fluid to enter the bladder and an outlet port through which fluid in the bladder to exit the bladder. The system includes one or more processors that receive a first signal from a first pressure sensor installed in a first fluid passageway that is in fluid communication with the inlet port; receives a second signal from a second pressure sensor installed in a second fluid passageway that is in fluid communication with the outlet port; and based on at least one of the first and second signals, actuates a valve installed in the first fluid passageway of fluid so as to adjust the flow rate into the bladder through the inlet port.

  • Publication number: 20190262532
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for controlling flow through the urinary bladder and, more specifically, systems and methods for controlling continuous bladder irrigation after surgical treatment of lower urinary tract disorders. The control system for continuous bladder irrigation includes a catheter having a first port though which a first fluid enters a bladder and a second port through a second fluid exits the bladder; a first flow speed sensor for measuring a first speed of the first fluid; a second flow speed sensor for measuring a second speed of the second fluid; a control unit for sending, based on the first and second speeds, a warning signal of an abnormality in infusing the first fluid into the bladder and in draining the second fluid from the bladder.
