Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
PURPOSE: The use of robotic continuum manipulators has been proposed to facilitate less-invasive orthopedic surgical procedures. While tools and strategies have been developed, critical challenges such as system control and intra-operative guidance are under-addressed. Simulation tools can help solve these challenges, but several gaps limit their utility for orthopedic surgical systems, particular...
Electrocorticography (ECoG) is a minimally invasive approach frequently used clinically to map epileptogenic regions of the brain and facilitate lesion resection surgery and increasingly explored in brain-machine interface applications. Current devices display limitations that require trade-offs among cortical surface coverage, spatial electrode resolution, aesthetic, and risk consequences and oft...
Robotic abdominal wall reconstruction is becoming an accepted technique to approach complex hernias in a minimally invasive fashion. There remain a de...
Surgery for rectal cancer patients with an ileal conduit after total cystectomy is difficult because adhesions in the pelvis and around the ileal cond...
INTRODUCTION: While the performance of a thyroidectomy is generally associated with a low risk of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), the p...
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of a new type of tension-reduced suture named "double W tension-reduced suture technique" on the abdominal scars foll...
Surgical repair of primary umbilical and epigastric hernias are among the most common abdominal operations in the world. The hernia defects range from...
PURPOSE: Integrating robotic scrub nurses in the operating room has the potential to help overcome staff shortages and limited use of available operat...
Robotic surgery has technical advantages including high optical magnification and articulation of forceps. However, the surgical field tends to be nar...
Artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing, especially with the advent of ChatGPT technology, and its role in the world of medicine is expanding. Wi...
Dexterous robotic manipulation tasks depend on estimating the state of in-hand objects, particularly their orientation. Although cameras have been tra...
Current automated pain assessment methods only focus on infants or youth. They are less practical because the children who suffer from postoperative p...
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic videos are increasingly being used for surgical artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analysis. The purpose of this study...
Surgical skill assessment can quantify the quality of the surgical operation via the motion state of the surgical instrument tip (SIT), which is consi...
To compare the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) performed using the KangDuo surgical robot system to t...
BACKGROUND: An informed decision regarding a treatment option requires data on its long-term efficacy and side-effect profile. While the side-effects ...
Robotic assistance has improved electrode implantation precision in stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for refractory epilepsy patients. We sought to...
The advent of soft robots has solved many issues posed by their rigid counterparts, including safer interactions with humans and the capability to wor...
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in men with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m is considered technically challenging. We conducted a retrospe...
Since minimally invasive liver surgery has proven benefits over open surgery, this technique should also be implemented more broadly in Germany. With ...
