Publication number: 20210251646Abstract: Prostate treatment using fluid stream to resect prostate tissue, thereby relieving symptoms of conditions such as BPH, prostatitis, and prostatic carcinoma. A device having a fluid delivery element is positioned within a lumen of the urethra within the prostate. A fluid stream is directed outwardly from the fluid delivery element toward a wall of the urethral lumen. The fluid delivery element is moved to scan the fluid stream over the wall to remove a volume of tissue surrounding the lumen. The fluid may be combined with therapeutically active substances or with substances that increase resection efficiency. Fluid force may be adjusted to provide selective tissue resection such that soft tissue is removed while harder tissue is left undamaged. In order to gain a working space within the urethra, another fluid may be introduced to insufflate the urethra in the region of treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Applicant: AquaBeam, LLCInventors: Nikolai ALJURI, Rodney C.

Patent number: 11071601Abstract: An energy source is coupled to a probe mounted on a robotic arm, and a processor configured with instructions to release energy to resect tissue in coordination with movement of the robotic arm and probe. The tissue can be resected in accordance with a defined tissue resection volume that can be determined based on images of the patient. The probe can be moved to a plurality of positions with movement of a distal end of the robotic arm and tissue resected in accordance with the treatment plan. The distal end of the robotic arm can be configured to move to a plurality of locations and orientations to provide an appropriate position and orientation of the probe tip and energy source. The processor can be configured with instructions to pivot the probe at a location to decrease tissue movement near the pivot such as an internal location of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2020Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: PROCEPT BioRobotics CorporationInventors: Kevin Patrick Staid, Surag Mantri, Nikolai Aljuri

Patent number: 11065470Abstract: A catheter treatment apparatus comprises an elongate tubular member and an expandable support. The expandable support comprises a radioactive substance to treat cancerous tissue and is configured to expand from a narrow profile for insertion to a wide profile to engage and treat tissue remaining after resection. The expandable support can be sized to fit within a volume of removed tissue to place the radioactive substance in proximity to the capsule and remaining tissue, to spare the capsule and proximate nerves and vessels to treat tissue in proximity to the capsule. The elongate tubular member may comprise a channel such as a lumen to pass a bodily fluid such as urine when the expandable support engages the tissue to treat the patient for a plurality of days. The treatment apparatus can be used to resect and diagnose tissue concurrently. Based on the diagnosis, targeted segmental treatment may be given.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: PROCEPT BioRobotics CorporationInventors: Nikolai Aljuri, Rodney Perkins

Publication number: 20210128189Abstract: A system to treat a patient comprises a user interface that allows a physician to view an image of tissue to be treated in order to develop a treatment plan to resect tissue with a predefined removal profile. The image may comprise a plurality of images, and the planned treatment is shown on the images. The treatment probe may comprise an anchor, and the image shown on the screen may have a reference image marker shown on the screen corresponding to the anchor. The planned tissue removal profile can be displayed and scaled to the image of the target tissue of an organ such as the prostate, and the physician can adjust the treatment profile based on the scaled images to provide a treatment profile in three dimensions. The images shown on the display may comprise segmented images of the patient with treatment plan overlaid on the images.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2020Publication date: May 6, 2021Applicant: PROCEPT BioRobotics CorporationInventors: Nikolai ALJURI, Surag MANTRI, George SURJAN, Michael W.

Publication number: 20210121251Abstract: An apparatus for robotic surgery comprises a processor configured with instructions to receive patient data from treated patients, receive surgical robotics data for each of the plurality of treated patients, and output a treatment plan of a patient to be treated in response to the patient data and the surgical robotics data. This approach has the advantage of accommodating individual variability among patients and surgical system parameters so as to provide improved treatment outcomes.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2019Publication date: April 29, 2021Applicant: PROCEPT BioRobotics CorporationInventors: Nikolai ALJURI, Surag MANTRI, Kevin Patrick STAID

Publication number: 20200405318Abstract: The volume of a hyperinflated lung compartment is reduced by sealing a distal end of the catheter in an airway feeding the lung compartment. Air passes out of the lung compartment through a passage in the catheter while the patient exhales. A one-way flow element associated with the catheter prevents air from re-entering the lung compartment as the patient inhales. Over time, the pressure of regions surrounding the lung compartment cause it to collapse as the volume of air diminishes. Residual volume reduction effectively results in functional lung volume expansion. Optionally, the lung compartment may be sealed in order to permanently prevent air from re-entering the lung compartment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2020Publication date: December 31, 2020Applicant: Pulmonx CorporationInventors: Nikolai Aljuri, Rodney C.
