Ontology-Guided Markerless Navigation and Situational Awareness for Endoscopic Surgery.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Optical navigation systems help surgeons find their way through the complex anatomy of a patient. However, such systems are accident-sensitive, time-consuming and difficult to use because of their complicated technical requirements such as the settin...

Does Robotic Beating Heart Connector Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass Bridge the Gender Gap in Coronary Bypass Surgery?

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)
OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have shown that women carry a higher risk of morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass surgery. We investigated gender differences in risk factors and outcomes in our patients undergoing robotic beating heart co...

Processual Reasoning over Sequences of Situations in Endoscopic Surgery.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Minimally invasive surgery is a highly complex and technically demanding alternative to open surgery. Surgical procedures based on this method are characterized by small incisions and allow for a fast recovery of the patient. Such techniques are chal...

Flexible endoscopic robot.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a novel surgical procedure during which abdominal operations can be performed with an endoscope passed through a natural orifice through an internal incision in the stomach, vagina, bladder o...

The Minimally Invasive Manipulator: an ergonomic and economic non-robotic alternative for endoscopy?

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
INTRODUCTION: Since the da Vinci robotic system was introduced, it has been reported to have ergonomic advantages over conventional laparoscopy (COV). High investments associated with this system challenged us to design a more economical, mechanical ...

A Haptic Guided Robotic System for Endoscope Positioning and Holding.

Turkish neurosurgery
AIM: To determine the feasibility, advantages, and disadvantages of using a robot for holding and maneuvering the endoscope in transnasal transsphenoidal surgery.
