Haptic Intracorporeal Palpation Using a Cable-Driven Parallel Robot: A User Study.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative palpation is a surgical gesture jeopardized by the lack of haptic feedback which affects robotic minimally invasive surgery. Restoring the force reflection in teleoperated systems may improve both surgeons' performance and p...

Initial introduction of robot-assisted, minimally invasive esophagectomy using the microanatomy-based concept in the upper mediastinum.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: We have recently standardized upper mediastinal lymph node dissection (UMLND) using a microanatomy-based concept in thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position (TEPP), and introduced robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (...

Worldwide Techniques and Outcomes in Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (RAMIE): Results From the Multicenter International Registry.

Annals of surgery
OBJECTIVE: This international multicenter study by the Upper GI International Robotic Association aimed to gain insight in current techniques and outcomes of RAMIE worldwide.

Long-term outcomes of minimally invasive surgeries in partial nephrectomy. Robot or laparoscopy?

International journal of clinical practice
BACKGROUND: To compare long-term oncological and renal functional outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic partial nephrectomy for small renal masses.

Five thousand years of minimal access surgery: 3000BC to 1850: early instruments for viewing body cavities.

Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
Surgeons and their patients recognise that one of the major advances in surgical technique over the last 20 years has been the growth of minimal access surgery by means of laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Partnerships with industry have facilitat...

A study on autonomous suturing task assignment in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Sutures are a set of standard actions which are accomplished by multi-instruments, researchers studied the robot autonomy of suturing, which was based on movement planning completed by a single instrument, but did not consider the assignm...

First clinical experience with single-port robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (SP rTAMIS) for benign rectal neoplasms.

Techniques in coloproctology
BACKGROUND: The new da Vinci Single-Port (SP) robot is a single-arm four-channel robotic system well suited for endoluminal surgery. We report our initial experience performing SP robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (SP rTAMIS) for rectal ne...
