BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: With the ongoing developments in robotic surgery, the associated adverse events need to be carefully evaluated. Virtual fixtures (VFs), a safety design feature against unintended motion during robotic surgery, have been prop...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery is a rapidly growing area in surgery. In an era of emphasis on cost reduction, the question becomes how do you train residents in robotic surgery? The aim of this study was to determine if there was a difference in opera...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic application to cholecystectomy has dramatically increased, though its impact on cost of care and reimbursement has not been elucidated. We undertook this study to evaluate and compare cost of care and reimbursement with robotic ...

BACKGROUND: Robotic single-site cholecystectomy (RSSC) has been shown to be a safe alternative to the laparoscopic approach in selected patients. Patient exclusion criteria have prevented RSSC as a surgical option in many obese patients. This study r...
BACKGROUND: A real-time deep learning system was developed to identify the extrahepatic bile ducts during indocyanine green fluorescence-guided laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
