Progress in Control-Actuation Robotic System for Gastrointestinal NOTES Development.

PURPOSE: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that reduces patient trauma, infection probability, and rehabilitation time. This paper reviews the progress made in the control-actuation robotic systems for gastrointestinal NOTES development. . A survey on both existing and state-of-the-art control-actuation robotic systems for gastrointe...

Single-Port Transaxillary Robotic Modified Radical Neck Dissection (STAR-RND): Initial Experiences.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of single-port transaxillary robotic modified radical neck dissection (STAR-RND) for metastatic thyroid cancer, and its potential to make small and invisible surgical wounds possible compared to open modified radical neck dissection.

Long-term comparative outcome analysis of a robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with retropubic radical prostatectomy by a single surgeon.

We aimed to report a comprehensive outcome analysis of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies (RALP) performed by a single surgeon and compared i...

Artificial intelligence using deep learning to predict the anatomical outcome of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery: a pilot study.

Three-dimensional simulation of the pancreatic parenchyma, pancreatic duct and vascular arrangement in pancreatic surgery using a deep learning algorithm.

Three-dimensional surgical simulation, already in use for hepatic surgery, can be used in pancreatic surgery. However, some problems still need to be ...

Hysterectomy in benign conditions: a 20-year single-center retrospective on the development of surgical techniques.

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive (MI) surgery has long been established as a standard for hysterectomy in benign conditions. Robotic surgery is genera...

Exploring Intra- and Inter-Video Relation for Surgical Semantic Scene Segmentation.

Automatic surgical scene segmentation is fundamental for facilitating cognitive intelligence in the modern operating theatre. Previous works rely on c...

Robotic ureteral reimplantation and uretero-ureterostomy treating the ureterovesical junction pathologies in children: technical considerations and preliminary results.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) and robotic ureteroureterostomy (RUU) are two mini-invasive surgical techniqu...

Comparison of different pancreatic stump management strategies during robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) represents the most feared complication after distal pancreatectomy, and the possible role of robo...

An improved path planning algorithm based on artificial potential field and primal-dual neural network for surgical robot.

Safety and accuracy are essential for path planning in a surgical navigation system. In this paper, an improved path planning algorithm is proposed to...
