The Click-On gamma probe, a second-generation tethered robotic gamma probe that improves dexterity and surgical decision-making.

European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
PURPOSE: Decision-making and dexterity, features that become increasingly relevant in (robot-assisted) minimally invasive surgery, are considered key components in improving the surgical accuracy. Recently, DROP-IN gamma probes were introduced to fac...

Robot-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion versus open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: a retrospective matched-control analysis for clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.

Journal of comparative effectiveness research
To compare the screw accuracy and clinical outcomes between robot-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (RA MIS-TLIF) and open TLIF in the treatment of one-level lumbar degenerative disease. From May 2018 to December 20...

A learning robot for cognitive camera control in minimally invasive surgery.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: We demonstrate the first self-learning, context-sensitive, autonomous camera-guiding robot applicable to minimally invasive surgery. The majority of surgical robots nowadays are telemanipulators without autonomous capabilities. Autonomous...

A New Tactile Transfer Cell Using Magnetorheological Materials for Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper proposes a new type of tactile transfer cell which can be effectively applied to robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). The proposed tactile device is manufactured from two smart materials, a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) and a...

Non-Technical Skill Assessment and Mental Load Evaluation in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Sensor technologies and data collection practices are changing and improving quality metrics across various domains. Surgical skill assessment in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS) is essential for training and quality assurance. The ...

[Minimally invasive liver surgery].

Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen
Minimally invasive liver surgery is safe and can be performed with results practically equal to those in open surgery. There are different techniques of parenchyma dissection and hemostasis available for the safe performance of minor and major resect...

ValveTech: A Novel Robotic Approach for Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Aortic valve disease is the most common heart disease in the elderly calling for replacement with an artificial valve. The presented surgical robot aims to provide a highly controllable instrument for efficient delivery of an artificial va...
