Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is an emerging albeit complex technique to treat rectal cancer. The aim of this proof-of-concept preclinical study was to determine the technical feasibility of robotic taTME using the da Vinci SP (SP). Two...
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Auricular reconstruction requiring manual contouring of costal cartilage is complex and time consuming, which could be facilitated by a robot in a fast and precise manner. This feasibility study evaluates the accuracy and speed...

BACKGROUND: This is a preclinical cadaveric study to investigate the feasibility of a fully robotic McKeown esophagectomy in simultaneous rendezvous technique using the DaVinci X for transhiatal dissection and the DaVinci single port (SP) for transce...
BACKGROUND: Minimal access surgery (MAS) is well-established in urological surgery. However, MAS is technically demanding and associated with a prolonged learning curve. Robot-assisted laparoscopy has made progress in overcoming these challenges.
In this work, we developed and validated a computer method capable of robustly detecting drill breakthrough events and show the potential of deep learning-based acoustic sensing for surgical error prevention. Bone drilling is an essential part of ort...

OBJECTIVE: Safe surgery requires the accurate discrimination of tissue intraoperatively. We assess the feasibility of using multispectral imaging and deep learning to enhance surgical vision by automated identification of normal human head and neck t...
BACKGROUND: The Endonasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery (EETS) is a minimally invasive procedure to approach and remove pituitary tumors and other sellar lesions. The process causes less pain, faster recovery, and provides further minimal invasi...
BACKGROUND: Elbow imaging is challenging with conventional multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), while cone-beam CT (CBCT) provides superior options. We compared intra-individually CBCT versus MDCT image quality in cadaveric elbows.
