Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: Given their ability to process highly dimensional datasets with hundreds of variables, machine learning algorithms may offer one solution to the vexing challenge of predicting postoperative pain.
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). During PVI an electrical conduction block between pulmonary vein (PV) and left atrium (LA) is created. This conduction block prevents AF, which is triggered by irregular electric activity originating from the PV. However, transmural atrial lesions are required which can be challenging. Re-conductio...
BACKGROUND: Robotic technology is increasingly prevalent in bariatric surgery, yet there are national deficiencies in exposure of surgical residents t...
Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a non-invasive method for anatomic evaluation of coronary artery stenoses. However, CTA is prone to a...
BACKGROUND: Surgical excision of an ectopic lingual thyroid has traditionally been associated with significant morbidity and has therefore been reserv...
No data are available on the learning curve in robotic distal pancreatectomy (RADP). The learning curve in RADP was assessed in 55 consecutive patient...
BACKGROUND: Haemangioma of the adult larynx is an uncommon, benign lesion. The optimal surgical method of treating these lesions is controversial beca...
A major difference between manmade underwater robotic vehicles (URVs) and undersea animals is the dense arrays of sensors on the body of the latter wh...
Engineered robotic fins have adapted principles of propulsion from bony-finned fish, using spatially-varying compliance and complex kinematics to prod...
INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive surgical techniques are currently used for numerous urologic disorders and generally offer decreased morbidity and eq...
Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroid surgery avoids the need for a neck incision. It consists of thyroid lobectomy and isthmectomy for moderately larg...
The outstanding locomotor and manipulation characteristics of the octopus have recently inspired the development, by our group, of multi-functional ro...
Soft robots can exhibit diverse behaviors with simple types of actuation by partially outsourcing control to the morphological and material properties...
An on-water remote monitoring robotic system was developed for indirectly estimating the relative density of marine cyanobacteria blooms at the subtid...
BACKGROUND: In the past few decades, several researchers have proposed highly accurate prediction models that have typically relied on climate paramet...
OBJECTIVE: To compare different techniques of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy and robotics) to abdominal surgery in order to identify the opti...
BACKGROUND: Delivering healthcare using remote robotic telepresence is an evolving practice in medical and surgical intensive critical care units and ...
