Robotic navigation in spine surgery: Where are we now and where are we going?

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
Robotic navigation is a new and rapidly emerging niche within minimally invasive spine surgery. The robotic arms-race began in 2004 and has resulted in no less than four major robotic surgical adjuncts. Current Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-appr...

Realization of Force Detection and Feedback Control for Slave Manipulator of Master/Slave Surgical Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has received increasing attention, both in the academic field and clinical operation. Master/slave control is the most widely adopted manipulation mode for surgical robots. Thus, sensing the force of th...

Short-term outcomes of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy with extended lymphadenectomy for esophageal cancer compared with video-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy: A single-center retrospective study.

Asian journal of endoscopic surgery
BACKGROUND: The safety and feasibility of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes of RAMIE with extended lymphadenectomy and conventional minimally invasive ...

Transhiatal robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy: unclear benefits compared to traditional transhiatal esophagectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
Esophagectomy is a high-risk operation, regardless of technique. Minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy could reduce length of stay and pulmonary complications compared to traditional open approaches, but the benefits of minimally invasive tr...

Design of a dexterous robotic surgical instrument with a novel bending mechanism.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) has developed rapidly in recent years, requiring highly articulated instruments to enable surgeons to perform complicated and precise procedures.

Bio-Inspired Haptic Feedback for Artificial Palpation in Robotic Surgery.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Adding haptic feedback has been reported to improve the outcome of minimally invasive robotic surgery. In this study, we seek to determine whether an algorithm based on simulating responses of a cutaneous afferent population can be implemented to imp...

Enhancing the Localization of Uterine Leiomyomas Through Cutaneous Softness Rendering for Robot-Assisted Surgical Palpation Applications.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Integrating tactile feedback for lump localization in Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RMIS) represents an open research issue, which is still far to be solved. Main reasons for this are related e.g. to the need for a transparent connection...

The role of robotic technology in minimally invasive surgery for mitral valve disease.

Expert review of medical devices
INTRODUCTION: Robotic mitral valve surgery has developed for more than 20 years. The main purpose of robotic assistance is to use multiwristed instruments for surgical endothoracic maneuvers on the mitral valve without opening the chest. The surgeon ...

An Audit of Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgeries in Children: Early Experience from a Tertiary Care Center in India.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
Over the last decade, a significant rise in pediatric robot-assisted minimally invasive surgeries has been observed. Apart from the urological surgeries in children, robot assistance for complex nonurological reconstructions is being explored increa...

Endoscopic Image-Based Skill Assessment in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Objective skill assessment-based personal performance feedback is a vital part of surgical training. Either kinematic-acquired through surgical robotic systems, mounted sensors on tooltips or wearable sensors-or visual input data can be employed to p...
