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...

Streamlining microsurgical procedures: a phantom trial of an artificial intelligence-driven robotic microscope assistant.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Surgical microscopes are essential in microsurgery for magnification, focus, and illumination. However, surgeons must frequently adjust the microscope manually-typically via a handgrip or mouth switch-to maintain a well-centered view that ...

Improving microsurgical suture training with automated phase recognition and skill assessment via deep learning.

Computers in biology and medicine
Microsurgical suturing demands a high level of precision, skill, and extensive training to ensure success in delicate procedures. In this study, we created a deep-learning approach for automating phase recognition and skill assessment in microsurgica...

Machine learning in risk assessment for microvascular head and neck surgery.

European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
PURPOSE: The integration of machine learning (ML) into microvascular surgery for the head and neck offers significant potential to enhance risk stratification, outcome prediction, and decision support. Traditional risk assessment methods are often li...

Detection of flap malperfusion after microsurgical tissue reconstruction using hyperspectral imaging and machine learning.

Scientific reports
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has shown significant diagnostic potential for both intra- and postoperative perfusion assessment. The purpose of this study was to combine machine learning and neural networks with HSI to develop a method for detecting fl...

Transfer learning for anatomical structure segmentation in otorhinolaryngology microsurgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Reducing the annotation burden is an active and meaningful area of artificial intelligence (AI) research.

RCIT: A Robust Catadioptric-based Instrument 3D Tracking Method For Microsurgical Instruments In a Single-Camera System.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The field of robotic microsurgery and micro-manipulation has undergone a profound evolution in recent years, particularly with regard to the accuracy, precision, versatility, and dexterity. These advancements have the potential to revolutionize high-...
