OBJECTIVE: Over the past 2 decades, robots have been increasingly used in surgeries to help overcome human limitations and perform precise and accurate tasks. Endovascular robots were pioneered in interventional cardiology, however, the CorPath GRX w...
OBJECTIVE: In this study, the authors aimed to 1) retrospectively analyze the early functional outcomes in a cohort of very young children with craniofacial dysostoses who underwent robot-assisted frontofacial advancement (RAFFA) or robot-assisted mi...
OBJECTIVE: The utility of robotic instrumentation is expanding in neurosurgery. Despite this, successful examples of robotic implementation for endoscopic endonasal or skull base neurosurgery remain limited. Therefore, the authors performed a systema...
OBJECTIVE: A clear, stable, suitably located vision field is essential for port surgery. A scope is usually held by hand or a fixing device. The former yields fatigue and requires lengthy training, while the latter increases inconvenience because of ...
OBJECTIVE: Conventional frame-based stereotaxy through a transfrontal approach (TFA) is the gold standard in brainstem biopsies. Because of the high surgical morbidity and limited impact on therapy, brainstem biopsies are controversial. The introduct...
OBJECTIVE: The application of robots in the field of pedicle screw placement has achieved great success. However, decompressive laminectomy, a step that is just as critical as pedicle screw placement, does not have a mature robot-assisted system. To ...
OBJECTIVE: Artificial manipulation of animal movement could offer interesting advantages and potential applications using the animal's inherited superior sensation and mobility. Although several behavior control models have been introduced, they gene...
OBJECTIVE: Machine learning (ML) is an innovative method to analyze large and complex data sets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of ML to identify predictors of early postsurgical and long-term outcomes in patients treated for Cushing d...
