Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
Emotional disturbances constitute a major health issue affecting a considerable portion of the population in western countries. In this context, animal models offer a relevant tool to address the underlying biological determinants and to screen novel therapeutic strategies. While rodents have traditionally constituted the species of choice, zebrafish are now becoming a viable alternative. As zebra...
This pioneering observational study explored the interaction between subacute stroke inpatients and a rehabilitation robot during upper limb training. 25 stroke survivors (age 55 ± 17 years; time since stroke, 52 ± 21 days) with severe upper limb paresis carried out 16 sessions of robot-assisted shoulder/elbow training (InMotion 2.0, IMT, Inc., MA, USA) combined with standard therapy. The values o...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of a novel valveless trocar system (VTS) on perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopi...
Regaining one's ability to walk is of great importance for neurological patients and is a major goal of all rehabilitation programs. Gait training of ...
Robot-assisted surgery, as a development of laparoscopic surgery, has an increasing field of application. Beside urology, this technique has also been...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted surgery for the treatment of gastric cancer is considered to be safe and feasible with early post-operative outcomes comp...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is being increasingly used. However, a steep Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneu...
PURPOSE: Limited data are available regarding the oncologic efficacy of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) performed during robotic-assisted laparosc...
INTRODUCTION: Port-site metastasis is an extremely rare event in patients with cancer treated with robotic-assisted surgery. However, as robotic proce...
BACKGROUND: Robotic technology commenced to be adopted for the field of general surgery in the 1990s. Since then, the da Vinci surgical system (Intuit...
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare lateral and midline epidural anaesthesia using a levobupivacaine-fentanyl combination in patients undergoing unilateral...
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to compare the effects of dexketoprofen, lornoxicam, and diclophenac sodium on postoperative analgesia and tramadol...
In this issue of Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Jessica McCabe and colleagues report findings from their methodologically sound, do...
OBJECTIVE: Robotic training (RT) using the da Vinci skills simulator and conventional training (CT) using a laparoscopic "training box" are both used ...
BACKGROUND: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) involves accessing the abdominal cavity via one of the body natural orifices for e...
OBJECTIVE: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has been proposed as a safe and less morbid approach to full lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer (EC) [1...
BACKGROUND: Endoluminal therapeutic procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection are increasingly attractive given the shift in surgical paradi...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To show and describe a unique method for improved vascular control when performing a robotic myomectomy.
In this paper, the interpolation of multivariate data by operators of the neural network type is proved. These operators can also be used to approxima...
An existing neural network model of conditioning was used to simulate autoshaped choice. In this phenomenon, pigeons first receive an autoshaping proc...
