Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
Energy expenditure is a key rehabilitation outcome and is starting to be used in robotics-based rehabilitation through human-in-the-loop control to tailor robot assistance towards reducing patients’ energy effort. However, it is usually assessed by indirect calorimetry which entails a certain degree of invasiveness and provides delayed data, which is not suitable for controlling robotic devices. T...
Robotic manipulation refers to how robots intelligently interact with the objects in their surroundings, such as grasping and carrying an object from one place to another. Dexterous manipulating skills enable robots to assist humans in accomplishing various tasks that might be too dangerous or difficult to do. This requires robots to intelligently plan and control the actions of their hands and ar...
Invasive breast carcinomas are routinely tested for HER2 using immunohistochemistry (IHC), with reflex in situ hybridization (ISH) for those scored as...
An 85-year-old woman presented with a stomachache after a meal and was admitted to the previous clinic. Multi-detector computed tomography (CT) of the...
Robotic surgery training has lacked evidence-based standardisation. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of adjunctive interactive virtual classroo...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery has integrated into the healthcare system despite limited evidence demonstrating its clinical benefit. Our objectives we...
BACKGROUND: The aim was to explore the feasibility and safety of performing common surgical steps in epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling using the Prece...
Hydrogel actuators have shown great promise in underwater robotic applications as they can generate controllable shape transformations upon stimulatio...
Transanal excision of benign lesions, moderately or well-differentiated rectal T1 adenocarcinomas is typically completed via transanal endoscopic micr...
PURPOSE: A clear surgical field of view is a prerequisite for successful laparoscopic surgery. Surgical smoke, image blur, and lens fogging can affect...
BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery (RS) may offer benefits compared with freehand/conventional surgery (FS) in the treatment of patients with spinal disease....
Equipping soft robotic grippers with sensing and perception capabilities faces significant challenges due to their high compliance and flexibility, li...
OBJECTIVES: Since the 1980s, robotic arms have been transferred from industrial applications to orthopaedic surgical robotics. Adverse events are freq...
AIM: The recent development of new surgical robots and network telecommunication technology has opened new avenues for robotic telesurgery. Although a...
PURPOSE: Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a recently described surgical approach, but comparison w...
Core needle biopsy (CNB) is a method that can be used as an alternative to fine-needle aspiration for the sampling of thyroid nodules to provide a pre...
OBJECTIVE: Surveillance of postoperative vestibular schwannomas currently relies on manual segmentation and measurement of the tumor by content expert...
With robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS), patients and surgeons benefit from a reduced incision size and dexterous instruments. Howeve...
Legged robotic technologies have moved out of the lab to operate in real environments, characterized by a wide variety of unpredictable irregularities...
BACKGROUND: Despite increasing focus on the technical performance of total mesorectal excision over recent decades, anastomotic leakage (AL) continues...
