Is newer always better?: comparing cost and short-term outcomes between laparoscopic and robotic right hemicolectomy.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Enthusiasm is high for expansion of robotic assisted surgery into right hemicolectomy. But data on outcomes and cost is lacking. Our objective was to determine the association between surgical approach and cost for minimally invasive righ...

An eye-tracking based robotic scrub nurse: proof of concept.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Within surgery, assistive robotic devices (ARD) have reported improved patient outcomes. ARD can offer the surgical team a "third hand" to perform wider tasks and more degrees of motion in comparison with conventional laparoscopy. We test...

Efficiency in image-guided robotic and conventional camera steering: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robotic camera steering systems have been developed to facilitate endoscopic surgery. In this study, a randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare conventional human camera control with the AutoLap™ robotic camera holder in terms...

Comparison of short- and long-term postoperative occurrences after robotic single-incision cholecystectomy versus multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Long-term outcomes of SIRC are not well established. Furthermore, SIRC is only now being considered more frequently for patients with independent risk factors for PSH, such as obesity. As such, the paucity of data on longer-term post-surg...

A learning robot for cognitive camera control in minimally invasive surgery.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: We demonstrate the first self-learning, context-sensitive, autonomous camera-guiding robot applicable to minimally invasive surgery. The majority of surgical robots nowadays are telemanipulators without autonomous capabilities. Autonomous...

Robot-assisted anorectal pull-through for anorectal malformations with rectourethral and rectovesical fistula: feasibility and short-term outcome.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Multiple structures in the anorectal area are closely related to defecation, voiding and sexual function. Although laparoscopic-assisted anorectal pull-through is widely accepted as a minimally invasive surgical technique, controversy sti...

Experience with 10 years of a robotic surgery program at an Academic Medical Center.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined robotic surgery from a programmatic standpoint, yet this is how hospitals evaluate return on investment clinically and fiscally. This study examines the 10-year experience of a robotic program at a single academi...

Evaluation of the learning curve of robot-assisted laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The current standard treatment for external rectal prolapse and symptomatic high-grade internal rectal prolapse is surgical correction with minimally invasive ventral mesh rectopexy using either laparoscopy or robotic assistance. This stu...

Learning curve of robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (rTAPP) inguinal hernia repair: a cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (rTAPP-IHR) is a safe and feasible approach for hernias of varying etiology. We aim to present a single surgeon's learning curve (LC) of this technique based on operative ...

Deep learning-based automatic surgical step recognition in intraoperative videos for transanal total mesorectal excision.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Dividing a surgical procedure into a sequence of identifiable and meaningful steps facilitates intraoperative video data acquisition and storage. These efforts are especially valuable for technically challenging procedures that require in...
