A novel flexible hyper-redundant surgical robot: prototype evaluation using a single incision flexible access pelvic application as a clinical exemplar.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: The flexible endoscope is increasingly being considered as a surgical tool to enable innovative natural orifice or flexible access techniques. These experiences have exposed unique advantages but also significant challenges. Major curre...

Potential advantages of robotic radical gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma in comparison with conventional laparoscopic approach: a single institutional retrospective comparative cohort study.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: We have previously reported that laparoscopic approach improved short-term postoperative courses even for advanced gastric adenocarcinoma, but not morbidity, in comparison with open approach. The objective of this study was to determine t...

Simultaneous development of laparoscopy and robotics provides acceptable perioperative outcomes and shows robotics to have a faster learning curve and to be overall faster in rectal cancer surgery: analysis of novice MIS surgeon learning curves.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopy offers some evidence of benefit compared to open rectal surgery. Robotic rectal surgery is evolving into an accepted approach. The objective was to analyze and compare laparoscopic and robotic rectal surgery learning curves wi...

Artificial hand for minimally invasive surgery: design and testing of initial prototype.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery may improve recovery and patient satisfaction while maintaining surgical principles. Laparoscopic, single incision, natural orifice, and robotic approaches hold their own ...

Prediction of endoscopic restenosis after endoscopic balloon dilation in patients with Crohn's disease: a machine learning approach.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) is recognized as a minimally invasive and effective procedure for managing intestinal stenosis in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). It offers an alternative to surgery and has been shown to improve the ...

Artificial intelligence-assisted endoscopic ultrasound diagnosis of esophageal subepithelial lesions.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is one of the most accurate methods for determining the originating layer of subepithelial lesions (SELs). However, the accuracy is greatly influenced by the expertise and proficiency of the endoscopist. In thi...
