Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contamination rate of media-fill products either prepared automated with a robotic system (APOTECAchemo™) or prepared manually at cytotoxic workbenches in the same cleanroom environment and by experienced operators. Media fills were completed by microbiological environmental control in the critical zones and used to validate the cleaning and...
OBJECTIVE: To determine the pregnancy rate achieved through laparoscopic tubal reanastomosis using only standard 5 mm laparoscopic instruments and standard suturing material.
In minimally invasive surgery methods such as laparoscopic surgery, surgical instruments are introduced through small incisions to minimize patient tr...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of simulation-based training between the Mimic dV- Trainer and traditional dry lab da Vinci robot training.
Here, we report the case of a 26-year-old woman suffering from nutcracker syndrome with concurrent disabling pelvic congestion syndrome. She was given...
AIMS: Innovative robotic technologies hold strong promise for improving walking abilities of children with cerebral palsy (CP), but may create expecta...
The goal of this cadaver study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of da Vinci robot-assisted keyhole neurosurgery. Several keyhole craniotomie...
INTRODUCTION: We analyzed the trends of positive surgical margin (PSM) location in patients who had pT3 disease at robot-assisted radical prostatectom...
PURPOSE: C-arm radiographs are commonly used for intraoperative image guidance in surgical interventions. Fluoroscopy is a cost-effective real-time mo...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study is to elucidate factors contributing to early recovery of urinary continence after robot-assisted laparoscopic...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic application to cholecystectomy has dramatically increased, though its impact on cost of care and reimbursement has not been eluc...
BACKGROUND: Choledochal cysts are rare congenital disease of the biliary system. The recommended treatment of these lesions is surgical excision with ...
OBJECTIVES: The experience with robotic techniques (RATS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in pulmonary segmentectomy is still limited. We e...
OBJECTIVES: Many studies have reported that robotic-assisted surgery is safe and feasible for paediatric cases. However, very few paediatric thoracic ...
PURPOSE: A robotic virtual reality simulator (Mimic dV-Trainer) can be a useful training method for the da Vinci surgical system. Herein, we investiga...
INTRODUCTION: An increasing number of obese patients (body mass index [BMI] >30 kg/m(2)]) with localized prostate cancer are presenting as candidates ...
Several groups have developed robotic systems for invasive medical procedures. In this article we will focus on selected robotic systems for percutane...
BACKGROUND: Robotic single-site cholecystectomy (RSSC) has been shown to be a safe alternative to the laparoscopic approach in selected patients. Pati...
PURPOSE: To assess complication rates and early oncological outcomes of patients aged ≥80 years who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC)...
