Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) accounts for up to 3 % of congenital cardiac defects, which is routinely repaired via median sternotomy. Minimally invasive approach such as endoscopic or robotic assisted repair for AVSD has not been reported in the literature. With the experience with robotic mitral valve surgery and congenital defect repair, we initiated robotic AVSD repair in a...
Analysis of data from Electronic Health Records (EHR) presents unique challenges, in particular regarding nonuniform temporal resolution of longitudinal variables. A considerable amount of patient information is available in the EHR - including blood tests that are performed routinely during inpatient follow-up. These data are useful for the design of advanced machine learning-based methods and pr...
BACKGROUND: Robotic ankle exoskeletons can provide assistance to users and reduce metabolic power during walking. Our research group has investigated ...
A fundamental challenge in robotics today is building robots that can learn new skills by observing humans and imitating human actions. We propose a n...
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of liver enucleation with resection of a giant hemangioma proximal to the hepatic portal vascular struc...
OBJECTIVE: This work presents a computer-based approach to analyze the two-dimensional vocal fold dynamics of endoscopic high-speed videos, and consti...
Robotic mapping and localization systems typically operate at either one fixed spatial scale, or over two, combining a local metric map and a global t...
BACKGROUND: The volume of robot-assisted operations has drastically increased over the past decade. New programs have focused on training surgeons, wh...
OBJECTIVE: An up-to-date review of recent literatures and a comprehensive reference for informed consent specific to ASD complications is lacking. The...
Recent advances in fluorescence confocal endomicroscopy have allowed real-time identification of residual tumour cells on the walls of the cavity left...
Designing surgical instruments for robotic-assisted minimally-invasive surgery (RAMIS) is challenging due to constraints on the number and type of sen...
Dexterity and procedural knowledge are two critical skills that surgeons need to master to perform accurate and safe surgical interventions. However, ...
The inverted pendulum is a popular model for describing bipedal dynamic walking. The operating point of the walker can be specified by the combination...
Social robotics could be a promising method for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) treatment. The aim of this article is to carry out a systematic litera...
In order to determine optimal training parameters for robot-assisted treadmill walking, it is essential to understand how a robotic device interacts w...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the results of traditional laparoscopy and a simple, single-docking robotic approach for retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (...
Currently, there exists a need for a more thorough understanding of native hip joint kinematics to improve the understanding of pathological condition...
BACKGROUND: Severe primary (degenerative) mitral regurgitation (MR) is repaired with durable results when simple single-scallop disease is addressed. ...
INTRODUCTION: Gastric cancer represents a great challenge for healthcare providers and requires a multidisciplinary treatment approach in which surger...
OBJECTIVE: Postoperative iPTH assay may predict significant hypocalcemia after thyroid surgery. The present study aimed to evaluate the ability of iPT...
