Esophagectomy is the gold standard for the treatment of resectable esophageal cancer. Traditionally, it is performed through a laparotomy and a thoracotomy, and is associated with high rates of postoperative complications and mortality. The advent of...
In this paper, a bilateral haptic virtual surgery simulation system under a hybrid controller was studied. An analogue controller realized by a field programmable analogue array (FPAA) was paralleled in the operator robot side, which reduced the impa...
Recent decades have seen the rapid progression of minimally invasive surgery in urology with continuing developments in robotic technology paving ways into a new era. In addition to these technological innovations, interests from urologists in develo...
BACKGROUND: Intraoperative imaging assists surgeons during minimally invasive procedures. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a noninvasive and noncontact optical technique with great diagnostic potential in medicine. The combination with artificial intel...
This study was performed to prospectively compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes between robot-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (RA MIS-TLIF) and fluoroscopy-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar ...
BACKGROUND: Although a number of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) procedures have been performed due to three-dimensional field of view, image stabilization, and flexible joint function, both the surgeons and surgical teams req...
BACKGROUND: The development of an advanced robotic platform in 2014 led to increased adoption of minimally invasive (MI) approaches in thoracic surgery. Due to dataset reporting lag, a comprehensive assessment of trends in thoracic approaches has not...
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...
