Bailouts to LIMA Damage for Avoiding Conversion in Minimal Access Coronary Procedures.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
Minimally invasive and robotic coronary revascularization strategies offer less pain, fewer adverse events, betterĀ cosmesis, and speedier recovery. These procedures are vulnerable to left internal mammary artery (LIMA) injury that may require a full ...

Mitral Valve Surgery: Current Minimally Invasive and Transcatheter Options.

Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal
The mitral valve is a highly complex structure, the competency and function of which relies on the harmonious action of its component parts. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) for mitral valve repair or replacement (MVR/r) has been performed s...

Evaluation of Network-Based Minimally Invasive VR Surgery Simulator.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this paper, we report a result of an experiment of a field trial of our network-based minimally invasive surgery simulator. In our previous paper, we proposed a network-based visuohaptic surgery training system for laparoscopic surgery. In additio...

[The application of a small incision combined with improved percutaneous tracheostomy in difficult tracheostomy].

Zhonghua wei zhong bing ji jiu yi xue
OBJECTIVE: To describe an improved percutaneous tracheostomy combined with conventional tracheostomy technique with result of less trauma and fewer complications, and to explore its application in the patients for whom conventional tracheostomy is di...

Embedded electro-conductive yarn for shape sensing of soft robotic manipulators.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Flexible soft and stiffness-controllable surgical manipulators enhance the manoeuvrability of surgical tools during Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), as opposed to conventional rigid laparoscopic instruments. These flexible and soft robotic systems a...

Comfort and learnability assessment of a new soft robotic manipulator for minimally invasive surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Laparoscopic surgeons perform precise and time consuming procedures while holding awkward poses in their upper body and arms. There is an ongoing effort to produce robotic tools for laparoscopic surgery that will simplify these tasks and reduce risk ...

Robotic Low Ligation of the Inferior Mesenteric Artery for Rectal Cancer Using the Firefly Technique.

Yonsei medical journal
PURPOSE: By integrating intraoperative near infrared fluorescence imaging into a robotic system, surgeons can identify the vascular anatomy in real-time with the technical advantages of robotics that is useful for meticulous lymphovascular dissection...
