Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
In this paper, we report a result of an experiment of a field trial of our network-based minimally invasive surgery simulator. In our previous paper, we proposed a network-based visuohaptic surgery training system for laparoscopic surgery. In addition, we proposed a volume-based haptic communication approach, which allows participants at remote sites on the network to simultaneously interact with ...
The mitral valve is a highly complex structure, the competency and function of which relies on the harmonious action of its component parts. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) for mitral valve repair or replacement (MVR/r) has been performed successfully with incremental improvements in techniques over the past decade. These minimally invasive procedures, while attractive to patients and re...
