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...
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...
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...
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...
