BACKGROUND: The unconstrained master devices have emerged as attractive alternatives to the existing linkage-based counterparts. However, the conventional unconstrained master device's manipulation methods have several disadvantages in efficiency and...
BACKGROUND: Magnified intraoperative visualization is of paramount importance during microsurgical procedures. Although the introduction of the operating microscope represented one of the most relevant innovations in modern neurosurgery, surgical vis...
Autologous reconstruction using abdominal flaps remains the most popular method for breast reconstruction worldwide. We aimed to evaluate a prediction model using machine-learning methods and to determine which factors increase abdominal flap donor s...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Technical skill acquisition is an essential component of neurosurgical training. Educational theory suggests that optimal learning and improvement in performance depends on the provision of objective feedback. Therefore, the aim...
PURPOSE: This study aims to map force interaction between instrument and sclera of in vivo rabbits during retinal procedures, and verify if a robotic active force control could prevent unwanted increase of forces on the sclera.
Training the modern ophthalmic surgeon is a challenging process. Microsurgical education can benefit from innovative methods to practice surgery in low-risk simulations, assess and refine skills in the operating room through video content analytics, ...

PURPOSE: Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) enables performing an optical biopsy via a probe. pCLE probes consist of multiple optical fibres arranged in a bundle, which taken together generate signals in an irregularly sampled pattern. ...
BACKGROUND: The decision to treat unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) or not is complex and requires balancing of risk factors and scores. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have previously been effective at generating highly accurate and comprehe...
