Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
PURPOSE: Single-incision laparoscopic surgery decreases postoperative infections, but introduces limitations in the surgeon's maneuverability and in the surgical field of view. This work aims at enhancing intra-operative surgical visualization by exploiting the 3D information about the surgical site. An interactive guidance system is proposed wherein the pose of preoperative tissue models is updat...
Robot-mediated therapy can help improve walking ability in patients following injuries to the central nervous system. However, the efficacy of this treatment varies between patients, and evidence for the mechanisms underlying functional improvements in humans is poor, particularly in terms of neural changes in the spinal cord. Here, we review the recent literature on spinal plasticity induced by r...
BACKGROUND: A robotic arm was developed by our laboratory for tele-operated echography on patients in locations isolated from a trained sonographer. T...
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate the feasibility of a unique prototype foot-controlled robotic-enabled endoscope holder (FREE) in functional endosco...
BACKGROUND: Robotic gastric surgery has been introduced and is being performed in many Japanese facilities. There are some limitations of devices capa...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the 5-year survival outcomes of cervical cancer patients who underwent an, open radi...
OBJECTIVE: Few studies have directly assessed the impact of tumor anterior/posterior location during transperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic par...
Hemiplegia is a more or less complete loss of hemibody voluntary motricity following a brain injury, usually resulting in alterations of the locomotor...
Robotics in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has undergone vast improvements. Although some of the systems have fallen out of favor due to safety concern...
At our institute, a non-suturing method for closure of the umbilical epidermis has been used in laparoscopic colorectal resection to prevent umbilical...
We present a soft robotic skin that can recognize and localize texture using a distributed set of sensors and computational elements that are inspired...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the magnitude and dosimetric relevance of translational and rotational shifts on IGRT prostate volumetric...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate urethral catheter (UC) versus suprapubic tube (SPT) without stenting the anastomosis at robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (R...
BACKGROUND/AIM: Robot-assisted surgery has become increasingly routine, replacing open and laparoscopic techniques in certain domains, with recent ext...
Soft robotic snakes promise significant advantages in achieving traveling curvature waves with a reduced number of active segments as well as allowing...
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the effect of intraperitoneal cetuximab administration on the healing of anastomosis and development of early adhesion...
Hierarchical deep neural networks are currently popular learning models for imitating the hierarchical architecture of human brain. Single-layer featu...
PURPOSE: Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. In order to reduce the morbidity of the open sur...
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of information regarding the oncological safety of robotic intersphincteric resection (ISR) with coloanal anastomosis. The...
BACKGROUND: Worldwide, the annual number of robotic surgical procedures continues to increase. Robotic surgical skills are unique from those used in e...
