. Range uncertainty is a major concern affecting the delivery precision in proton therapy. The Compton camera (CC)-based prompt-gamma (PG) imaging is a promising technique to provide 3Drange verification. However, the conventional back-projected PG i...
Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) for higher stages non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) remains controversial. This study reports the feasibility of RATS in patients with stages IIB-IVA NSCLC. A single-institute, retrospective study was conduc...
OBJECTIVES: To report a single centre's experience of the feasibility, safety and patient acceptability of same-day discharge robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP).
IMPORTANCE: Many clinical trial outcomes are documented in free-text electronic health records (EHRs), making manual data collection costly and infeasible at scale. Natural language processing (NLP) is a promising approach for measuring such outcomes...
BACKGROUND: Infants are unable to self-report their pain, which, therefore, often goes underrecognized and undertreated. Adequate assessment of pain, including procedural pain, which has short- and long-term consequences, is critical for its manageme...

BACKGROUND: To assess the feasibility, clinical utility, and safety of intrathoracic robotic-sewn esophageal anastomosis (IrEA) during Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma of the lower third of the esophagus, or cancer at the gastro-esophageal...
BACKGROUND: In the West, patients with cervical lymph node metastasis of resectable esophageal cancer at diagnosis are generally precluded from curative treatment. This study prospectively explored the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant chemoradio...
BACKGROUND: In the advancement of transanal local excision, robot-assisted transanal minimal invasive surgery is the newest development. In the confined area of the rectum, robot-assisted surgery should, theoretically, be superior due to articulated ...
PURPOSE: Robotic gait training is relatively new in the world of pediatric rehabilitation. Preliminary feasibility studies and case reports include stationary robot-assisted treadmill training. Mobile robotic gait trainers hold greater promise for in...
