A Concentric Tube Robot System for Rigid Bronchoscopy: A Feasibility Study on Central Airway Obstruction Removal.

Annals of biomedical engineering
New robotic systems have recently emerged to assist with peripheral lung access, but a robotic system for rigid bronchoscopy has yet to be developed. We describe a new robotic system that can deliver thin robotic manipulators through the ports of sta...

[Renal graft survival in patients transplanted from organs of deceased donors].

Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social
BACKGROUND: In Mexico, out of the total number of transplants it was reported, in 2014, a frequency of 29% of deceased donor renal transplantation (DDRT). The use of kidneys from deceased elderly donors is increasing over the years. Currently, some a...

Enabling machine learning in X-ray-based procedures via realistic simulation of image formation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Machine learning-based approaches now outperform competing methods in most disciplines relevant to diagnostic radiology. Image-guided procedures, however, have not yet benefited substantially from the advent of deep learning, in particular b...

Enabling single-site laparoscopy: the SPORT platform.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The Single Port Orifice Robotic Technology (SPORT) Surgical System by Titan Medical Inc. is designed to overcome the inherent challenges of minimally invasive single-access procedures. The aim of this preclinical study was to evaluate the...

Robotically assisted long bone biopsy under MRI: cadaver study results.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: We have designed and constructed an MR-safe robot made entirely of nonmetallic components with pneumatic actuators and optical encoders. The robot was developed to enable bone biopsies to be performed under magnetic resonanc...

Femoral Contact Forces in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficient Knee: A Robotic Study.

Arthroscopy : the journal of arthroscopic & related surgery : official publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association
PURPOSE: To measure contact forces (CFs) at standardized locations representative of clinical articular cartilage defects on the medial and lateral femoral condyles during robotic tests with simulated weightbearing knee flexion.

Effect of Initial Graft Tension During Calcaneofibular Ligament Reconstruction on Ankle Kinematics and Laxity.

The American journal of sports medicine
BACKGROUND: Although a variety of surgical procedures for lateral ankle ligament reconstruction have frequently been reported, little is known about the effects of initial graft tension. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to investigate the effects ...

Robot-assisted transvesical partial prostatectomy using a purpose-built single-port robotic system.

BJU international
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of robot-assisted single-port (SP) transvesical partial prostatectomy (TVPP) using a novel purpose-built SP surgical platform in a pre-clinical model.

Effects of Proud Large Osteochondral Plugs on Contact Forces and Knee Kinematics: A Robotic Study.

The American journal of sports medicine
BACKGROUND: Osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation is used to treat large focal femoral condylar articular cartilage defects. A proud plug could affect graft survival by altering contact forces (CFs) and knee kinematics.
