Abstract

See full text

A method for applying a photocoagulation procedure includes capturing a baseline image of a first location within a surgical site. The method further includes applying a photocoagulation treatment at the first location within the surgical site, the photocoagulation treatment using a laser tool having a set of operating parameters. The method further includes capturing an operation image of the first location within the surgical site at a point in time after the photocoagulation treatment has started. The method further includes, with a control system, performing a comparison of the operation image and the baseline image to determine whether a treatment objective has been achieved. The method further includes, with the control system, in response to determining that the treatment objective has not been achieved, adjusting the set of operating parameters to create a set of adjusted operating parameters and continuing the photocoagulation treatment with the set of adjusted operating parameters.
