OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether robot-assisted partial nephrectomy compared with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is effective for renal hilar tumor removal.
Compared to laparoscopy, robotics-assisted minimally invasive surgery has the problem of an absence of force feedback, which is important to prevent a breakage of the suture. To overcome this problem, surgeons infer the suture force from their proprioception and 2D image by comparing them to the training experience. Based on this idea, a deep-learning-based method using a single image and robot po...
OBJECTIVE: Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDHs) are an increasingly prevalent neurologic disease that often requires surgical intervention to alleviate ...
BACKGROUND: Use of the single-port da Vinci SP robotic platform for various urological procedures has been described by several groups. However, the c...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is an important event that is diagnosed on head NCCT. Increased NCCT utilization in busy hospita...
BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and perioperative antibiotics ...
Minimally invasive medical procedures, such as endovascular catheterization, have considerably reduced procedure time and associated complications. Ho...
BACKGROUD: Postoperative pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may hamper patients from a rapid recovery and increase perioperative blood loss ...
OBJECTIVE: Surgical graspers must be safe, not to damage tissue, and effective, to establish a stable contact for operation. For conventional rigid gr...
A detailed model for the locomotory mechanics used by millipedes is provided here through systematic experimentation on the animal and validation of o...
In this paper, a novel compliant joint with two identical torsion springs is proposed for a biomimetic multi-joint robotic fish, which enables imitata...
OBJECTIVES: Recurrence rate of nasal polyps is high following endoscopic sinus surgery. To improve the surgical outcome, steroid impregnated nasal dre...
BACKGROUND: Patients  with esophageal cancer  that invades adjacent structures (cT4b) are precluded from surgery and usually treated with definitive c...
PURPOSE: In order to improve the reconstruction accuracy of magnetic induction tomography (MIT) and achieve fast imaging especially in the detection o...
OBJECTIVE: Patient selection for robotically assisted mitral valve repair remains controversial. We assessed outcomes of a conservative screening algo...
To report trifecta outcomes of our "off-clamp" partial nephrectomy (PN) patients operated without main renal artery and/or any selective/superselecti...
: To evaluate the oncological outcome at 5-year follow-up after laparoscopic cryoablation (LCA) for small renal masses (SRMs), as there is an increasi...
OBJECTIVES: Prolactinoma is the most common cause of pituitary tumours. Current medical guidelines recommend dopamine agonists (cabergoline or bromocr...
BACKGROUND: The impact of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on outcomes after surgical tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) and repair (TVr) is unclear. We sou...
