Totally robotic repair of atrioventricular septal defect in the adult.

Journal of cardiothoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) accounts for up to 3 % of congenital cardiac defects, which is routinely repaired via median sternotomy. Minimally invasive approach such as endoscopic or robotic assisted repair for AVSD has not been...

Evaluation of Sensor Configurations for Robotic Surgical Instruments.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Designing surgical instruments for robotic-assisted minimally-invasive surgery (RAMIS) is challenging due to constraints on the number and type of sensors imposed by considerations such as space or the need for sterilization. A new method for evaluat...

Beating Heart Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery in Patients With Patent Coronary Bypass Grafts.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Redo mitral valve surgery in patients with patent coronary bypass grafts carries a risk of graft injury and postoperative bleeding. We compare early results of reoperative minimally invasive on-pump beating heart mitral valve surgery (OPB...

Robotic surgery in children: adopt now, await, or dismiss?

Pediatric surgery international
The role of robot-assisted surgery in children remains controversial. This article aims to distil this debate into an evidence informed decision-making taxonomy; to adopt this technology (1) now, (2) later, or (3) not at all. Robot-assistance is safe...

Robotic-Assisted Procedures in Pediatric Surgery: A Critical Appraisal of the Current Best Evidence in Comparison to Conventional Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
INTRODUCTION: In recent years, the use of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) has expanded within pediatric surgery. Although increasing numbers of pediatric RAS case-series have been published, the level of evidence remains unclear, with authors mainly f...

Partial splenectomy in the era of minimally invasive surgery: the current laparoscopic and robotic experiences.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Partial splenectomy (PS) is a spleen-preserving technique that is applied as a result of trauma, focal lesions or hematological conditions. Despite the improvement of laparoscopic techniques within the past several decades, minimally inva...

Surgical robots for SPL and NOTES: a review.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
INTRODUCTION: Single port laparoscopy (SPL) and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) are next-generation minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures which could further reduce patient trauma. Robotic assistance shows great potentia...
