Preliminary clinical application of the robot-assisted CT-guided irreversible electroporation ablation for the treatment of pancreatic head carcinoma.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a robot-guided irreversible electroporation (IRE) ablation system for the treatment of pancreatic head carcinoma.

Initial clinical experience of single-incision robotic colorectal surgery with da Vinci SP platform.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) was introduced to overcome the limitations of single-incision laparoscopic surgery, which is challenging due to its restrictions regarding triangulation and retraction. The ...

Evaluation of haptic devices and end-users: Novel performance metrics in tele-robotic microsurgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Here, we present performance evaluation methodology that distinguishes the performance of a haptic device from end-user skill level in a tele-robotic system.

Errors in femoral anteversion, femoral offset, and vertical offset following robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
The objectives were to determine errors in femoral anteversion (FA), femoral offset (FO), and vertical offset (VO) with robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) and how consistently these errors are within clinically desirable limits of ±5° and ±5...

Automatic 3D landmarking model using patch-based deep neural networks for CT image of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Manual landmarking is a time consuming and highly professional work. Although some algorithm-based landmarking methods have been proposed, they lack flexibility and may be susceptible to data diversity.

Achieving robotic program best practice performance and cost versus laparoscopy: Two case studies define a framework for optimization.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery is seen by many hospital administrators and surgeons as slower and more expensive than laparoscopic surgery despite the implementation of commonly held robotic best practices. Multiple factors, including surgeon learning c...

Concurrent, face, content, and construct validity of the RobotiX Mentor simulator for robotic basic skills.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
OBJECTIVES: To assess several criteria, such as concurrent, face, content, and construct validity of the RobotiX Mentor (RXM) simulator for basic robotic skills and to compare virtual and actual dry lab dome.

A review of recent advancements in soft and flexible robots for medical applications.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Soft and flexible robots for medical applications are needed to change their flexibility over a wide range to perform tasks adequately. The mechanism and theory of flexibility has been a scientific issue and is of interest to the communit...

Postanesthesia care unit delirium following robot-assisted vs open retropubic radical prostatectomy: A prospective observational study.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of early postoperative delirium in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) between robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in the extreme Trendelenburg position and open retropubic radica...

Transoral robotic narrow field oropharyngectomy for tumours of the parapharyngeal space.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
The advent of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has allowed transoral approaches for parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumours to be re-evaluated. It provides enhanced visualisation and instrument access for appropriate tumours. We describe a specific techni...
