Effective deep learning training for single-image super-resolution in endomicroscopy exploiting video-registration-based reconstruction.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a recent imaging modality that allows performing in vivo optical biopsies. The design of pCLE hardware, and its reliance on an optical fibre bundle, fundamentally limits the image quality w...

Feasibility study on robot-assisted retinal vascular bypass surgery in an ex vivo porcine model.

Acta ophthalmologica
PURPOSE: To describe a new robot-assisted surgical system for retinal vascular bypass surgery (RVBS) and to compare the success rate with freehand RVBS.

Cooperative robot assistant for vitreoretinal microsurgery: development of the RVRMS and feasibility studies in an animal model.

Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to describe the development of a robotic aided surgical system named RVRMS (robotic vitreous retinal microsurgery system) and to evaluate the capability for using it to perform vitreoretinal surgery.

Microsurgery robots: addressing the needs of high-precision surgical interventions.

Swiss medical weekly
Robotics has a significant potential to enhance the overall capacity and efficiency of healthcare systems. Robots can help surgeons perform better quality operations, leading to reductions in the hospitalisation time of patients and in the impact of ...

Rod-based Fabrication of Customizable Soft Robotic Pneumatic Gripper Devices for Delicate Tissue Manipulation.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Soft compliant gripping is essential in delicate surgical manipulation for minimizing the risk of tissue grip damage caused by high stress concentrations at the point of contact. It can be achieved by complementing traditional rigid grippers with sof...

Robotic nasopharyngectomy via combined endonasal and transantral port: a preliminary cadaveric study.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study was to determine the potential role of a surgical robotic system in nasopharyngeal surgery using bilateral transantral or combined endonasal/transantral port.

Laparoscopic non-microsurgical tubal reanastomosis: A retrospective cohort study.

The European journal of contraception & reproductive health care : the official journal of the European Society of Contraception
OBJECTIVE: To determine the pregnancy rate achieved through laparoscopic tubal reanastomosis using only standard 5 mm laparoscopic instruments and standard suturing material.

A vision-based system for fast and accurate laser scanning in robot-assisted phonomicrosurgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Surgical quality in phonomicrosurgery can be improved by open-loop laser control (e.g., high-speed scanning capabilities) with a robust and accurate closed-loop visual servoing systems. A new vision-based system for laser scanning control du...

[Toe-to-hand transplantation for thumb and finger reconstruction].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
Reconstruction of missing thumbs or fingers remains one of the most demanding challenges in hand surgery. Over the past century, toe-to-hand transplantation has evolved from early experimental pedicled transfers into a highly refined microsurgical pr...
