Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: The use of Hartmann's procedure in the old and frail and/or in patients with fecal incontinence is increasing, even though some data have reported high postoperative rates of pelvic abscesses. Abdominoperineal excision with intersphincteric dissection has been proposed as a better alternative and is performed increasingly both nationally and internationally. However, no studies have be...
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is an abnormal dilatation of the aortic vessel at abdominal level. This disease presents high rate of mortality and complications causing a decrease in the quality of life and increasing the cost of treatment. To estimate the mortality risk of patients undergoing surgery is complex due to the variables associated. The use of clinical decision support systems based on m...
BACKGROUND: The advantages of laparoscopic liver resection become more obvious as evidence on its long-term outcome has emerged. Compared to open rese...
As the manufacturing tasks become more individualized and more flexible, the machines in smart factory are required to do variable tasks collaborative...
Function and aesthetics have a significant impact on the quality of life in patients undergoing mandibular reconstructive surgery, but achieving sati...
BACKGROUND: During (robot-assisted) sentinel node (SN) biopsy procedures, intraoperative fluorescence imaging can be used to enhance radioguided SN ex...
OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to report safety and efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to the surgical bed following resection of brain metasta...
Ankle movement training is important in motor recovery post stroke and early intervention is critical to stroke rehabilitation. However, acute stroke ...
To investigate whether the learning curve of robotic surgery simulator training depends on the probands' characteristics, such as age and prior experi...
BACKGROUND: Our objective is to report our incidence, results, and technique for the control of major vascular injuries during minimally invasive robo...
PURPOSE: Tele-operation of robotic surgery reduces the radiation exposure during the interventional radiological operations. However, endoscope vision...
BACKGROUND: It is difficult for surgeons to exert appropriate forces during delicate operations due to lack of force feedback in robot-assisted minima...
PURPOSE : During the past five decades, laser technology emerged and is nowadays part of a great number of scientific and industrial applications. In...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of vaginal vault drainage after complicated singleport access laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hy...
INTRODUCTION: Over recent years, minimally invasive hepatic resections have increasingly been reported in the literature. Even though hepatic surgery ...
BACKGROUND: Cystic hygroma is a rare benign abnormality of the lymphatic system generally occurring in young children less than 2 years old. The stand...
Powered robotic exoskeletons are a potential intervention for gait rehabilitation in stroke to enable repetitive walking practice to maximize neural r...
As per modern electrical grid rules, Wind Turbine needs to operate continually even in presence severe grid faults as Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT)....
In this paper, Self-Organizing Map (SOM) for the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP) with minmax objective is applied to the robotic problem of...
