PURPOSE: Modern vitreo-retinal surgery has scaled new frontiers with the advent of better instrumentation. However, physiological tremors, intraocular dexterity and difficulty in visualization hamper minimally invasive retinal surgery. Robotics has t...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to establish and validate machine learning models for prognosis prediction in endodontic microsurgery, avoiding treatment failure and supporting clinical decision-making.
In microsurgical procedures, surgeons use micro-instruments under high magnifications to handle delicate tissues. These procedures require highly skilled attentional and motor control for planning and implementing eye-hand coordination strategies. Ey...

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.
