PURPOSE: Surgical workflow recognition is a crucial and challenging problem when building a computer-assisted surgery system. Current techniques focus on utilizing a convolutional neural network and a recurrent neural network (CNN-RNN) to solve the s...
BACKGROUND: A new device has been added to the Chinese MicroHand surgical robot family, developed based on the successful application of control algorithms. As a benefit of using these specialized control algorithms, the motion mapping relation can b...
BACKGROUND: Robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) has been increasingly used for the treatment of gastric cancer (GC). However, whether RDG has a clinical advantage over laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is yet to be determined. Thus, this study aimed...

Minimally invasive surgery techniques have evolved remarkably over the past few decades in the field of surgical oncology, including robotic techniques for gastric malignancies. Bedside surgical assistance is often limited by operating table space or...
The robotic system has overcome some laparoscopic shortcomings, such as stereoscopic 3D-magnified vision, a stable camera and flexible and tremor filtering manipulation. Therefore, robotic surgery has made many steps forward gaining more diffusion in...
AIMS: Imatinib plasma trough levels (IM Cmin) have been reported to have a considerable clinical impact in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). We therefore have investigated the factors affecting IM plasma concentration in Chinese ...
