Propensity-Matched Analysis of the Short-Term Outcome of Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy Versus Conventional Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy in Thoracic Esophageal Cancer.

World journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: In this matched-cohort study, we investigated the short-term outcome of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) compared with conventional minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy (MIE) in esophageal cancer patients.

Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Using Robotic Navigation: Technical Note and Case Series.

Operative neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.)
BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing sacroiliac (SI) fusion can oftentimes experience significant improvements in pain and quality of life.

Scoping review of approaches used for remote-access parathyroidectomy: A contemporary review of techniques, tools, pros and cons.

Head & neck
After our coauthors described the first remote-access parathyroidectomy (RAP) series in 2000, several other approaches were developed. No systematic review has been performed to classify and evaluate RAP techniques. We performed a literature search u...

Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) with side-to-side semi-mechanical anastomosis: analysis of a learning curve.

Updates in surgery
Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) reduces mortality and morbidity related to esophageal surgery, but a long learning curve is necessary due to the technical difficulties of thoracoscopy (35 to 119 patients required as reported in literature). Ro...

Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy Is Associated with Superior Survival Compared to Open Surgery.

The American surgeon
INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has not been associated with a long-term survival advantage compared to open esophagectomy (OE). We investigated survival differences between MIE, including laparoscopic and robotic, and OE.

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of stage I endometrial cancer.

Gynecologic oncology
OBJECTIVE: Recent reports in both cervical and endometrial cancer suggest that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) had an unanticipated negative impact on long-term clinical outcomes, including recurrence and death. Given increasing use of robotic surge...

Generalization of Deep Learning Gesture Classification in Robotic-Assisted Surgical Data: From Dry Lab to Clinical-Like Data.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
OBJECTIVE: Robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS) became a common practice in modern medicine and is widely studied. Surgical procedures require prolonged and complex movements; therefore, classifying surgical gestures could be helpful t...

A prospective cohort study of the accuracy and safety of robot-assisted minimally invasive spinal surgery.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted open surgery (RA-OS) is now commonly used in traditional open-exposure spinal screw placement surgery. With the help of robots, robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RA-MIS) can achieve less bleeding and less tissue da...

Screening of factors influencing catheter rotation of a vascular interventional surgical robot using design of experiment approach.

Medical engineering & physics
Over the past decades, Vascular Interventional Surgery Robots (VISR) have been developed to address the risks associated with X-rays used in minimally invasive vascular surgery procedures. Manipulation of over-the-wire catheters is necessary to perfo...

Articulation is essential: First in cardiovascular surgery implementation of 360° surgeon-powered robotic instruments.

Journal of cardiac surgery
Since the development of endoscopic vision in the late 1970s, the implementation of minimally invasive surgical methods has been rapidly progressing throughout a wide range of surgical disciplines, including cardiovascular surgery. The benefits of mi...
