Soft Robotics in Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Soft robotics
Soft robotic devices have desirable traits for applications in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), but many interdisciplinary challenges remain unsolved. To understand current technologies, we carried out a keyword search using the Web of Science and S...

Multi-Modal Haptic Feedback for Grip Force Reduction in Robotic Surgery.

Scientific reports
Minimally invasive robotic surgery allows for many advantages over traditional surgical procedures, but the loss of force feedback combined with a potential for strong grasping forces can result in excessive tissue damage. Single modality haptic feed...

Frontiers of Medical Robotics: From Concept to Systems to Clinical Translation.

Annual review of biomedical engineering
Medical robotics is poised to transform all aspects of medicine-from surgical intervention to targeted therapy, rehabilitation, and hospital automation. A key area is the development of robots for minimally invasive interventions. This review provide...

Robotic Cardiac Surgery Part I: Anesthetic Considerations in Totally Endoscopic Robotic Cardiac Surgery (TERCS).

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
The application and evolution of total endoscopic robotic cardiac surgery (TERCS) has become greater as institutions and surgeons become more comfortable with robotic technology. Over the years many improvements have been made to facilitate technical...

Pneumatically driven surgical instrument capable of estimating translational force and grasping force.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: In robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, feedback as well as sensing of translational and grasping forces allows surgeons to manipulate the robots using an appropriate force. However, there have been limited reports on single instrum...

Real-time tracking of surgical instruments based on spatio-temporal context and deep learning.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
ABSTARCT Real-time tool tracking in minimally invasive-surgery (MIS) has numerous applications for computer-assisted interventions (CAIs). Visual tracking approaches are a promising solution to real-time surgical tool tracking, however, many approach...

Probabilistic Kinematic Model of a Robotic Catheter for 3D Position Control.

Soft robotics
Continuum robots offer compliant and dexterous operations, which are suitable to be used in unstructured environments. Tendon-driven catheters, owing to their continuum structure, are applied in minimal invasive surgeries such as intracardiac interve...

Robot assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) for esophageal cancer.

Best practice & research. Clinical gastroenterology
Worldwide, the standard treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer with curative intent is perioperative chemotherapy or preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by open transthoracic esophagectomy (OTE) with gastric conduit reconstruction. Mini...

Distal pancreatectomy with en-bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) through retroperitoneal-first laparoscopic approach (Retlap): A novel strategy for achieving accurate evaluation of resectability and minimal invasiveness.

Surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Distal pancreatectomy with en-bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) for borderline resectable pancreatic body cancer is increasingly being performed [1,2]. For survival benefits, obtaining margin-free resection (R0 resection) is crucial [3]...

Minimally invasive, robot-assisted procedure for kidney transplantation among morbidly obese: Positive outcomes at 5 years post-transplant.

Clinical transplantation
The pre-transplant weight loss required of end-stage renal disease patients is often unachievable. Though robot-assisted procedures among extremely obese have shown minimal complication, long-term outcomes are understudied. Previously, we reported no...
