Robotic Cardiac Surgery Part II: Anesthetic Considerations for Robotic Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
Coronary artery bypass grafting represents one of the most commonly performed cardiac surgeries worldwide. Recently, interest has increased in providing patients with a less invasive approach to cardiac surgery, such as thoracotomy and endoscopic tec...

Design, characterization and optimization of a soft fluidic actuator for minimally invasive surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: In minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy, the rise of soft robotics, using materials of similar softness as biological soft tissues, opens many new opportunities. Soft actuated catheters could become an alternative to current steerable ca...

Robotic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy: technical approach and outcomes.

Revista do Colegio Brasileiro de Cirurgioes
OBJECTIVE: to report our initial experience with pulmonary robotic segmentectomy, describing the surgical technique, the preferred positioning of portals, initial results and outcomes.

A resonant tactile stiffness sensor for lump localization in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
A miniature resonant tactile sensor for tissue stiffness detection in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery is proposed in this article. The proposed tactile sensor can detect tissue stiffness based on the principle of the resonant frequency shif...

Comparative outcomes of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted esophagectomy.

Surgical endoscopy
OBJECTIVE: Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has demonstrated superior outcomes compared to open approaches. The myriad of techniques has precluded the recommendation of a standard approach. The addition of robotics to esophageal resection has p...

A review on recent advances in soft surgical robots for endoscopic applications.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Soft materials, with their compliant properties, enable conformity and safe interaction with human body. With the advance in actuation and sensing of soft materials, new paradigm in robotics called "soft robotics" emerges. Soft robotics h...

Surgical skill levels: Classification and analysis using deep neural network model and motion signals.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Currently, the assessment of surgical skills relies primarily on the observations of expert surgeons. This may be time-consuming, non-scalable, inconsistent and subjective. Therefore, an automated system that can objectivel...
