Mini-invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy vs robot-assisted transaxillary thryoidectomy: analisys and comparison of safety and outcomes.

Thyroid surgery is characterized by large volumes and typically affects a young female population. Mini-invasive or remote access surgical techniques are born driven by the desire to improve aesthetic outcomes of the traditional technique, following technological advances that have upset the surgical world in the last 20 years. In our multicenter, retrospective observational study, we first compar...

Automated digital templating of component sizing is accurate in robotic total hip arthroplasty when compared to predicate software.

Accurate pre-operative templating of prosthesis components is an essential factor in successful total hip arthroplasty (THA), including robotically-assisted THA (RA-THA) techniques. We sought to validate the accuracy of a novel, robotic-optimized THA planning software compared to a predicate THA planner for component sizing. We analyzed a series of 199 patients who received manual THA (mTHA) and f...

Simulated outcomes for durotomy repair in minimally invasive spine surgery.

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is increasingly performed using endoscopic and microscopic visualization, and the captured video can be used f...

Human robotic surgery with intraoperative tissue identification using rapid evaporation ionisation mass spectrometry.

Instantaneous, continuous, and reliable information on the molecular biology of surgical target tissue could significantly contribute to the precision...

Robotic surgery education in Australia and New Zealand: primetime for a curriculum.
