Can machine learning solve this one? Clinical pitfalls in surgical outcome prediction.

Time-varying modeling and intelligent compensation control of singletendon-sheath structure of surgical robot.

The inaccurate force and position control of tendon sheath system (TSS) due to nonlinear friction during surgery seriously hinders its development in the field of precision surgical robots. To this end, this paper proposes a time-varying bending angle estimation method under the state of sensorless offline identification combined with robot kinematics by analyzing the friction of the TSS and the d...

A semi-autonomous robot control based on bone layer transition detection for a safe pedicle tapping.

PURPOSE: Automatic robotic platforms for robot-aided spinal surgery are mostly employed for drilling the pedicle screw path and do not adapt the tool ...

Comparison of Perioperative Outcomes and Complications of Laparoscopic and Robotic Nephroureterectomy Approaches in Patients with Upper-Tract Urothelial Carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: For medical institutions without robotic equipment, it remains uncertain whether laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LNU) can achieve...

Postoperative functional and cancer control evaluation of conventional and Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: Comparison of selected cases by propensity score matching.

AIM: Although many reports have shown that Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) is effective for postoperative urinary conti...

Risk factors and prediction model for inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia in patients undergoing robotic surgery: a retrospective analysis.

This study explored the risk factors and established a prediction model for intraoperative hypothermia (IOH) in patients undergoing robotic surgery. W...

Urgent Combination of Robotic and MIDCAB Coronary Revascularization in a Morbidly Obese Patient.

In this article, we focus on the important role of robot-assisted coronary surgery by reporting the successful case of a morbidly obese male (body mas...

Preoperative planning of three axis intersection surgical laparoscopic arm system based on characteristic parameters.

PURPOSE: The application of robotics in the field of minimally invasive surgery solves some shortcomings of traditional minimally invasive surgery. Pr...

Robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with maximal urethral length preservation technique preserves penile length.

Penile shortening is a recognized but neglected side effect of prostate cancer treatment. In this study we explore the effect of maximal urethral leng...

Orthopedic Robot-Assisted Femoral Neck System in the Treatment of Femoral Neck Fracture.

Cannulated screw fixation is the main therapy for femoral neck fractures, especially in young patients. The traditional surgical procedure uses C-arm ...

Computed Tomography of the Head : A Systematic Review on Acquisition and Reconstruction Techniques to Reduce Radiation Dose.

In 1971, the first computed tomography (CT) scan was performed on a patient's brain. Clinical CT systems were introduced in 1974 and dedicated to head...

A Novel Mini-Invasive Technique of Arthroscopic-Assisted Reduction and Robot-Assisted Fixation for Trans-Scaphoid Perilunate Fracture Dislocations.

OBJECTIVE: Perilunate injuries are rare but devastating carpal injuries. The treatment of perilunate injuries remains challenging and contentious. Thi...

Predicting anterior cruciate ligament failure load with T* relaxometry and machine learning as a prospective imaging biomarker for revision surgery.

Non-invasive methods to document healing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) structural properties could potentially identify patients at risk for revisi...

Effect of pneumatic leg compression on post-induction hypotension in elderly patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy: a double-blind randomised controlled trial.

Post-induction hypotension is common and associated with postoperative complications. We hypothesised that pneumatic leg compression reduces post-indu...

A Retrospective Study of Puncture and Drainage for Primary Brainstem Hemorrhage With the Assistance of a Surgical Robot.

BACKGROUND: Whether primary brainstem hemorrhage (PBH) should be treated with a conservative treatment or with surgical intervention (such as cranioto...

Comparison of neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy vs. extended pelvic lymph-node dissection in high-risk prostate cancer treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

We compared the impact of treatment strategies on postoperative complications and prognosis between robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) plus e...

Robotic Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (rTAMIS): Large Tubulovillous Adenoma.

Many transanal platforms have recently evolved to manage rectal pathologies. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and transanal laparoscopic minima...

A Passively Conforming Soft Robotic Gripper with Three-Dimensional Negative Bending Stiffness Fingers.

Robot grippers that lack physical compliance have a difficult time dealing with uncertainty, such as fragile objects that may not have well-defined sh...

Peritoneal closure and the processus vaginalis transection method to prevent inguinal hernia after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
