A multi-module soft robotic arm with soft actuator for minimally invasive surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Compared to traditional rigid robotic arms, soft robotic arms are flexible, environmentally adaptable and biocompatible. Recently, most minimally invasive cardiac procedures still rely on traditional rigid surgical tools. However, rigid t...

Modular robotic platform for precision neurosurgery with a bio-inspired needle: System overview and first in-vivo deployment.

PloS one
Over the past 10 years, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has shown significant benefits compared to conventional surgical techniques, with reduced trauma, shorter hospital stays, and shorter patient recovery times. In neurosurgical MIS procedures, in...

A Force-Feedback Methodology for Teleoperated Suturing Task in Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
With robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS), patients and surgeons benefit from a reduced incision size and dexterous instruments. However, current robotic surgery platforms lack haptic feedback, which is an essential element of safe ope...

Implementation of the robotic abdominal phase during robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE): results from a high-volume center.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Evidence on the added value of robotic-assistance in the abdominal phase during esophagectomy is scarce. In 2003, our center implemented the robotic thoracic phase for esophagectomy. In November 2018 the robot was also implemented in the ...

Surgery utilizing artificial intelligence technology: why we should not rule it out.

Surgery today
Recent advances in optical and robotic technologies have given surgeons high-definition eyes and precision hands that perform beyond human capabilities. This has expanded the scope of minimally invasive surgery and increased opportunities for surgery...

Minimally Invasive Surgery in the United States, 2022: Understanding Its Value Using New Datasets.

The Journal of surgical research
INTRODUCTION: While minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has transformed the treatment landscape of surgical care, its utilization is not well understood. The newly released Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample allows for more accurate estimates of MIS v...

Robot-assisted transthoracic hybrid esophagectomy versus open and laparoscopic hybrid esophagectomy: propensity score matched analysis of short-term outcome.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
PURPOSE: Minimally invasive en-bloc esophagectomy is associated with a reduction of postoperative morbidity. This was demonstrated for both total minimally invasive and hybrid esophagectomy. However, little is known about any benefits of robotic assi...

Impact of Hospital Volume on Utilization of Minimally Invasive Surgery for Gastric Cancer.

The American surgeon
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for gastric cancer is increasingly performed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate trends in utilization of laparoscopic and robotic techniques compared to open surgery as well as utilization based on ...

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery with or without robotics: Examining the evidence.

Journal of cardiac surgery
Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery can be performed with or without robotic assistance. In this issue of the journal, Zheng et al. compare between these two approaches in a propensity-matched study over a 5-year period and show that the two tech...

Correlation filters tissue tracking with application to robotic minimally invasive surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
PURPOSE: Vision-based tissue tracking is a significant component for building efficient autonomous surgical robot system. While the methodology involves various challenges caused by occlusion, deformation and appearance changes.
