Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
INTRODUCTION: Robotics applied to orthopedics has become an interesting topic both from the surgical point of view and the engineering one. The main goal of those systems is the enhancement of joint arthroplasty surgery, providing the robotic support to precisely and accurately prepare the bone, restore the limb alignment and the physiological kinematics of the joint. Various robotic systems are c...
Endoscopic management of umbilical and incisional hernias has adapted to the limitations of conventional laparoscopic instruments over the past 30 years. This includes the development of meshes for intraperitoneal placement (intraperitoneal onlay mesh, IPOM), with antiadhesive coatings; however, adhesions do occur in a significant proportion of these patients. Minimally invasive procedures result ...
There is no one standard procedure encompassing the needs and differences of the entire pediatric population for inguinal hernia repair (IHR). Severa...
Surgeons must visually distinguish soft-tissues, such as nerves, from surrounding anatomy to prevent complications and optimize patient outcomes. An a...
Small-scale wireless magnetic robots and devices offer an effective solution to operations in hard-to-reach and high-risk enclosed places, such as ins...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Outcome prediction after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is challenging. CRP (C-reactive protein) has been reported ...
Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is a novel technique that overcomes the problem of access to the deep pelvis during radical surgery for m...
Surgical workflow recognition is a fundamental task in computer-assisted surgery and a key component of various applications in operating rooms. Exist...

Robot assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has evolved over the past decade to become procedure of choice at many centers all over the wo...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence and computer vision have revolutionized laparoscopic surgical video analysis. However, there is no multi-center st...
BACKGROUND: The growing interest in analysis of surgical video through machine learning has led to increased research efforts; however, common methods...
BACKGROUND: Radical cystectomy (RC) is the standard treatment for bladder cancer, but the safety and efficacy of this treatment for elderly people nee...
INTRODUCTION: Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) is a broad surgical methodology that utilizes computer technology to both plan and execute surgical inte...
There is currently no consensus among plastic surgeons regarding the optimal infection prophylaxis for immediate tissue expander placement following ...
OBJECTIVES: We retrospectively investigated if robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) contributes to a decrease in resected parenchyma...
Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a locally aggressive and infiltrative tumour in dogs. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for local tumour cont...
PURPOSE: We present the validation of PROST, a robotic device for prostate biopsy. PROST is designed to minimize human error by introducing some auton...
While suction cups prevail as common gripping tools for a wide range of real-world parts and surfaces, they often fail to seal the contact interface w...
