Minimally invasive donor nephrectomy: current state of the art.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
BACKGROUND: The concept of a minimally invasive live donor nephrectomy developed over 20 years ago. Surgeons gained expertise with the laparoscopic technique and utilized multiple variations that are now utilized in transplant centers throughout the ...

Improved surgical instruments without coupled motion used in minimally invasive surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Unlike a manual surgical instrument, a surgical instrument used in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is configured with a wrist to improve flexibility in surgical operation. However, this configuration has a shortcoming that...

Toward a standard ontology of surgical process models.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The development of common ontologies has recently been identified as one of the key challenges in the emerging field of surgical data science (SDS). However, past and existing initiatives in the domain of surgery have mainly been focussing o...

Topical Tranexamic Acid Reduces Blood Loss in Minimally Invasive Total Knee Arthroplasty Receiving Rivaroxaban.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether topical (intra-articular) or intravenous TXA reduces blood loss in minimally invasive TKA patients receiving a direct oral anticoagulant for thromboprophylaxis. This study is to investigate whether TXA given intraven...

Kinematics optimization and static analysis of a modular continuum robot used for minimally invasive surgery.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
For the outstanding compliance and dexterity of continuum robot, it is increasingly used in minimally invasive surgery. The wide workspace, high dexterity and strong payload capacity are essential to the continuum robot. In this article, we investiga...

Design of a new haptic device and experiments in minimally invasive surgical robot.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
In this paper, we designed a 8 degrees of freedom (DOFs) haptic device for applications in minimally invasive surgical robot. The device can provide three translational, three rotational and a grasping motion and force feedback capability. It is comp...

A soft multi-module manipulator with variable stiffness for minimally invasive surgery.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This work presents a soft manipulator for minimally invasive surgery inspired by the biological capabilities of the octopus arm. The multi-module arm is composed of three identical units, which are able to move thanks to embedded fluidic actuators th...

Master-slave robotic system for needle indentation and insertion.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
Bilateral control of a master-slave robotic system is a challenging issue in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. It requires the knowledge on contact interaction between a surgical (slave) robot and soft tissues. This paper presents a master...

Tracking-by-detection of surgical instruments in minimally invasive surgery via the convolutional neural network deep learning-based method.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
BACKGROUND: Worldwide propagation of minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) is hindered by their drawback of indirect observation and manipulation, while monitoring of surgical instruments moving in the operated body required by surgeons is a challenging...
