A robotic magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound platform for neonatal neurosurgery: Assessment of targeting accuracy and precision in a brain phantom.

BACKGROUND: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the most serious neurovascular complications resulting from premature birth. It can result in clotting of blood within the ventricles, which causes a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid that can lead to posthemorrhagic ventricular dilation and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Currently, there are no direct treatments for these blood clots as the sta...

Comparison of Pericapsular Nerve Group Block versus Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block as Postoperative Pain Management in Hip Fracture Surgeries.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Postoperative pain management and early recovery play an important role in the functional outcome following hip surgeries. Recently, pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has been used as a good alternative for postoperative pain management following hip fracture surgeries. We compared the efficacy of (PENG) block and fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) as postoperati...

Accuracy and Security Analysis of a Cranio-Maxillofacial Plastic Surgery Robot Equipped With Piezosurgery in Genioplasty.

This study aims to verify that the craniofacial plastic surgery robot with piezosurgery is more accurate and safer than traditional operations in geni...

Letter to the Editor: A randomised trial to compare the increase in intracranial pressure as correlated with the optic nerve sheath diameter during propofol versus sevoflurane-maintained anesthesia in robot-assisted laparoscopic pelvic surgery.

Is robotic lobectomy cheaper? A micro-cost analysis.

Higher capital costs and operating room costs associated with Lobectomy via Robot Assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS) have previously been suggested as t...

Robot-assisted techniques in vascular and endovascular surgery.

For thousands of years, robots have inspired the imagination of humans, but it was only about 35 years ago that a robot was used for the first time in...

Capturing Surgical Data: Comparing a Quality Improvement Registry to Natural Language Processing and Manual Chart Review.

INTRODUCTION: Collecting accurate operative details remains a limitation of surgical research. Surgeon-entered data in clinical registries offers one ...

[Clinical value of alternative technologies to standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy - single port, reduced port, robotics, NOTES].

Surgical interventions should ideally treat an existing disease curatively and achieve this with a low complication rate and minimal trauma. In this s...

Advances in computed tomography-based prognostic methods for intracerebral hemorrhage.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has high morbidity and mortality. Computed tomography (CT) plays an important role in the diagnosis, treatm...

Objective assessment of robotic surgical skills: review of literature and future directions.

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of robotic surgical skill has become increasingly important as robotic approaches to common surgeries become more widely utiliz...

Small intestinal viability assessment using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy and deep learning.

Intestinal ischemia is a serious condition where the surgeon often has to make important but difficult decisions regarding resections and resection ma...

A Liver Damage Prediction Using Partial Differential Segmentation with Improved Convolutional Neural Network.

BACKGROUND: The liver is one of the most significant and most essential organs in the human body. It is divided into two granular lobes, one on the ri...
