Demonstration of transoral robotic supraglottic laryngectomy and total laryngectomy in cadaveric specimens using the Medrobotics Flex System.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: Current management of laryngeal malignancies is associated with significant morbidity. Application of minimally invasive transoral techniques may reduce the morbidity associated with traditional procedures. The purpose of this study was t...

Surgical robots for SPL and NOTES: a review.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
INTRODUCTION: Single port laparoscopy (SPL) and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) are next-generation minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures which could further reduce patient trauma. Robotic assistance shows great potentia...

Robot-assisted ultrasound imaging: overview and development of a parallel telerobotic system.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
Ultrasound imaging is frequently used in medicine. The quality of ultrasound images is often dependent on the skill of the sonographer. Several researchers have proposed robotic systems to aid in ultrasound image acquisition. In this paper we first p...

Robotic natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (R-NOTES): literature review and prototype system.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
In minimally invasive surgery methods such as laparoscopic surgery, surgical instruments are introduced through small incisions to minimize patient trauma and recovery times. To reduce the number of incisions, new techniques such as natural orifice t...

Robotic systems for percutaneous needle-guided interventions.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
Several groups have developed robotic systems for invasive medical procedures. In this article we will focus on selected robotic systems for percutaneous needle-guided interventions using CT or MR imaging. We present six interventional robotic system...

Evaluating the Impact of the EU AI Act on Medical Device Regulation.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly incorporated into medical devices, revolutionizing diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient monitoring. To ensure AI's safe and ethical use, the European Commission published the AI Act in 2024, which ...

A machine learning framework to adjust for learning effects in medical device safety evaluation.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVES: Traditional methods for medical device post-market surveillance often fail to accurately account for operator learning effects, leading to biased assessments of device safety. These methods struggle with non-linearity, complex learning cu...
