Combining robotic training and inactivation of the healthy hemisphere restores pre-stroke motor patterns in mice.

Focal cortical stroke often leads to persistent motor deficits, prompting the need for more effective interventions. The efficacy of rehabilitation can be increased by 'plasticity-stimulating' treatments that enhance experience-dependent modifications in spared areas. Transcallosal pathways represent a promising therapeutic target, but their role in post-stroke recovery remains controversial. Here...

Minimally invasive approach (robotic and laparoscopic) to biliary-enteric fistula secondary to cholecystectomy bile duct injury.

Spontaneous biliary-enteric fistula after laparoscopic cholecystectomy bile duct injury is an extremely rare entity. Y-en-Roux hepaticojejunostomy has been demonstrated to be an effective surgical technique to repair iatrogenic bile duct injuries. Seven consecutive patients underwent robotic-assisted (n = 5) and laparoscopic (n = 2) biliary-enteric fistula resection and bile duct repair at our hos...

[Subcostal transversus abdominis plane block can improve analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

BACKGROUND AND GOAL OF STUDY: After laparoscopic cholecystectomy, patients have moderate pain in the early postoperative period. Some studies shown be...

Artificial intelligence may help in predicting the need for additional surgery after endoscopic resection of T1 colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Decisions concerning additional surgery after endoscopic resection of T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) are difficult because preo...

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, infection, and outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage.

OBJECTIVE: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) may be related to poor outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Safety and feasibility of the robotic platform in the management of surgical sequelae of chronic pancreatitis.
