Robot-guided stereoelectroencephalography without a computed tomography scan for referencing: Analysis of accuracy.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
OBJECTIVE: Recent studies with robot-guided stereotaxy use computed tomography (CT) scans for referencing. We will provide evidence that using preoperative MRI datasets referenced with a laser scan of the patient's face is sufficient for sEEG implant...

Performance metrics for guidance active constraints in surgical robotics.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
Active constraint (AC)/virtual fixture (VF) is among the most popular approaches towards the shared execution of subtasks by the surgeon and robotic systems. As more possibilities appear for the implementation of ACs in surgical scenarios, the need t...

Automated robot-assisted surgical skill evaluation: Predictive analytics approach.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Surgical skill assessment has predominantly been a subjective task. Recently, technological advances such as robot-assisted surgery have created great opportunities for objective surgical evaluation. In this paper, we introduce a predicti...

Robotic versus thoracoscopic thymectomy: The current evidence.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to analyze all relevant comparative studies comparing robot-assisted minimally invasive thymectomy (RATS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery thymectomy (VATS) in terms of surgical and short-term outcomes.

Robotic proctectomy for rectal cancer: analysis of 71 patients from a single institution.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Despite increasing use of robotic surgery for rectal cancer, few series have been published from the practice of generalizable US surgeons.

Robotic distal locking of intramedullary nailing: Technical description and cadaveric testing.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
Interlocked intramedullary nailing is the treatment of choice for femoral shaft fractures. However, distal locking is a technically challenging part of the procedure that can result in distal femoral malrotation and high radiation exposure. We have t...

A prospective randomized controlled trial for assessment of perineal hydrodissection technique for nervesparing robot assisted radical prostatectomy.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: This study prospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of perineal hydrodissection in robot assisted nervesparing prostatectomy.

Research of the master-slave robot surgical system with the function of force feedback.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Surgical robots lack force feedback, which may lead to operation errors. In order to improve surgical outcomes, this research developed a new master-slave surgical robot, which was designed with an integrated force sensor.

Mastery Learning - does the method of learning make a difference in skills acquisition for robotic surgery?

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Few studies compare the effectiveness of blocked vs random practice conditions in minimally invasive surgery training, and none have evaluated these in robotic surgery training.
