Flexible instrument with contact-aided structure and force feedback for endoscopic surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted surgery can effectively reduce the difficulty and improve the success rate of the surgeries. However, currently available flexible instruments have several limitations, such as large size, few degrees of freedom, and lack o...

Uptake of robot-assisted colon cancer surgery in the Netherlands.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The robot-assisted approach is now often used for rectal cancer surgery, but its use in colon cancer surgery is less well defined. This study aims to compare the outcomes of robotic-assisted colon cancer surgery to conventional laparoscop...

The influence of secondary resection using NeuroSAFE-technique on sexual function in unilateral nerve-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies.

Scandinavian journal of urology
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the surgical influence of secondary resection on sexual function in finally unilateral nerve-sparing robot- assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies (RALPs) performed with the 'neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section ex...

Arc-to-line frame registration method for ultrasound and photoacoustic image-guided intraoperative robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: To achieve effective robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, the integration of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging system which is the most widely used imaging modality in prostate imaging is essential. However, manual manipulation of ...

Robotic inguinal hernia repair with the new Hugo RAS system: first worldwide case series report.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
INTRODUCTION: Robotic-assisted surgery has been a part of surgical procedures for more than two decades. Recently new robotic platforms with a different design entered the market. The modular design with independent arms enables increased flexibility...

First human surgery using a surgical assistance robotics device for laparoscopic cholecystectomies.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Over the past 20 years, surgeons involved in soft tissue minimally invasive surgery have experienced the pros and cons of both conventional and tele-robotic laparoscopic approaches. The Maestro System, developed by Moon Surgical (Paris, F...
