Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: Accurate estimation of surgical transfusion risk is essential for efficient allocation of blood bank resources and for other aspects of anesthetic planning. This study hypothesized that a machine learning model incorporating both surgery- and patient-specific variables would outperform the traditional approach that uses only procedure-specific information, allowing for more efficient a...
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic continues, there is increased value in performing same-day discharge (SDD) protocols to minimize viral exposure and maintain the appropriate surgical treatment for oncologic patients. In this scenario, we performed a prospective analysis of outcomes of our patients undergoing SDD protocol after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP)....
Strong forces are pushing minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) to the forefront of spine care. Less-invasive surgical techniques have been enabled...
The Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery Council (RACSC) was established in 2015, and consists of the members of three closely related surgical societies an...
Endoscopic surgery has been introduced as a minimally invasive procedure in other fields. On the other hand, the introduction of surgical robots has m...
Robot-assisted valve repair refers to an intervention added to conventional minimally invasive cardiac surgery( MICS), which is covered by national in...
It has been more than 10 years since the introduction of small-incision surgery for cardiac valvular disease. The so-called minimally invasive cardiac...
Since 2014, we have used the da Vinci surgical system to perform internal thoracic artery harvest in minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass ...
The trend in cardiac surgery is moving toward minimally invasive procedures worldwide. In Japan, robot-assisted cardiac surgery has started simultaneo...
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery( MICS) has emerged in 1990s. Nowadays, MICS via mini thoracotomy became popular for valvular heart disease. Robot-a...
Recently, in the field of minimally invasive approach, robotic technology has represented the latest development. Robot-assisted cardiac surgery has a...
In minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery (MIDCAB), internal mammary artery harvesting is not so easy because of small exposure and ...
In Japan, the medical fee revision in April 2018 allowed insurance coverage for robot-assisted cardiac surgery for mitral and tricuspid valve plasty. ...
Robot-assisted cardiac surgery offers the most minimally-invasive approach to the surgical treatment of valvular heart disease and coronary artery dis...
The application of surgical robots in neurosurgery has formed a rapidly developing and fascinating new field that is revolutionizing the way neurosurg...
Recently, robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has become a commonly performed surgical treatment for small renal tumors, but for di...
Several biomedical contexts such as diagnosis, rehabilitation, and ergonomics require an accurate estimate of human upper limbs kinematics. Wearable i...
Minimally invasive instruments are inserted per-cutaneously and are steered toward the desired anatomy. The low stiffness of instruments is an advanta...
Semantic segmentation of anatomical structures in laparoscopic videos is a crucial task to enable the development of new computer-assisted systems tha...
This paper discusses the design, construction, and characteristics of a six degree of freedom (6-DoF) robotic upper limb stroke rehabilitation device....
