To visualise the tumours inside the body on a screen, a long and thin tube is inserted with a light source and a camera at the tip to obtain video frames inside organs in endoscopy. However, multiple artefacts exist in these video frames that cause d...
After our coauthors described the first remote-access parathyroidectomy (RAP) series in 2000, several other approaches were developed. No systematic review has been performed to classify and evaluate RAP techniques. We performed a literature search u...
We experienced 3 cases of port-access robot-assisted totally endoscopic technique for mitral valve repair and concomitant coronary artery bypass. The right internal mammary artery was harvested, mitral valve was fixed, and the right internal mammary ...

BACKGROUND: Master devices exclusively used for endoscopes with position control are being developed as an isomorphic form of endoscopes. These master devices are difficult to intuitively operate because the movement direction of the endoscopic image...
In 2022, endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) is the treatment of choice for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) for glands >80 ml and is a valid alternative for patients with bleeding disorders. Unlike robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, EE...

PURPOSE: Workflow recognition can aid surgeons before an operation when used as a training tool, during an operation by increasing operating room efficiency, and after an operation in the completion of operation notes. Although several methods have b...
With the application of four optical CMOS sensors, it was possible to capture the trajectory of an endoscopic tool during an in vitro surgical experiment on a cardiovascular preparation. This was due to the possibility of obtaining a path when a refl...
Ultra-high-speed imaging serves as a foundation for modern science. While in biomedicine, optical-fiber-based endoscopy is often required for in vivo applications, the combination of high speed with the fiber endoscopy, which is vital for exploring t...
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Endoscopic reports are essential for the diagnosis and follow-up of gastrointestinal diseases. This study aimed to construct an intelligent system for automatic photo documentation during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) an...
Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery is a promising alternative to transcranial approaches. However, standard instruments lack articulation, and thus, could benefit from robotic technologies. The aim of this study was to develop an ergonomic handl...
