Minimally invasive (laparoscopic and robot-assisted) versus open approach for central pancreatectomies: a single-center experience.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: There continues to be an interest in minimally invasive approaches to pancreatic surgery. At our institution, there has been a progressive change from an open to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) (laparoscopic, robotic, or laparoscopic-rob...

Design and Comparison of Magnetically-Actuated Dexterous Forceps Instruments for Neuroendoscopy.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques offer improved instrument precision and dexterity, reduced patient trauma and risk, and promise to lessen the skill gap among surgeons. These approaches are common in general surgery, urolog...

Real-time acoustic sensing and artificial intelligence for error prevention in orthopedic surgery.

Scientific reports
In this work, we developed and validated a computer method capable of robustly detecting drill breakthrough events and show the potential of deep learning-based acoustic sensing for surgical error prevention. Bone drilling is an essential part of ort...

Robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery: a case series.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: This study describes the experience with robot-assisted transanal minimally invasive surgery (rTAMIS) at a single institution. TAMIS has become a popular minimally invasive technique for local excision of well-selected rectal lesions. r...

State of the art in esophagectomy: robotic assistance in the abdominal phase.

Updates in surgery
Over the years, robot-assisted esophagectomy gained popularity. The current literature focused mainly on robotic assistance in the thoracic phase, whereas the implementation of robotic assistance in the abdominal phase is lagging behind. Advantages o...

Soft Graspers for Safe and Effective Tissue Clutching in Minimally Invasive Surgery.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Surgical graspers must be safe, not to damage tissue, and effective, to establish a stable contact for operation. For conventional rigid graspers, these requirements are conflicting and tissue damage is often induced. We thus proposed nove...

A conservative screening algorithm to determine candidacy for robotic mitral valve surgery.

The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: Patient selection for robotically assisted mitral valve repair remains controversial. We assessed outcomes of a conservative screening algorithm developed to select patients with degenerative mitral valve disease for robotic surgery.
