Flexible endoscopic robot.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a novel surgical procedure during which abdominal operations can be performed with an endoscope passed through a natural orifice through an internal incision in the stomach, vagina, bladder o...

A new telesurgical platform--preliminary clinical results.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
A new European telesurgical system, the Telelap Alf-x, is introduced. Its main features are individual arms, which enable free access to the patient throughout surgery, a large range of reusable surgical instruments, an open console with eye-tracking...

The Minimally Invasive Manipulator: an ergonomic and economic non-robotic alternative for endoscopy?

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
INTRODUCTION: Since the da Vinci robotic system was introduced, it has been reported to have ergonomic advantages over conventional laparoscopy (COV). High investments associated with this system challenged us to design a more economical, mechanical ...

Next-generation robotic surgery--from the aspect of surgical robots developed by industry.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
At present, much of the research conducted worldwide focuses on extending the ability of surgical robots. One approach is to extend robotic dexterity. For instance, accessibility and dexterity of the surgical instruments remains the largest issue for...

[Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy].

Der Urologe. Ausg. A
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has been rapidly adopted as a standard approach for surgical treatment of organ-confined prostate cancer. Despite additional costs, RALP seems to provide better functional and oncol...

[Robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy: functional and oncological outcomes].

Der Urologe. Ausg. A
BACKGROUND: In recent years, small renal masses (SRM) have been increasingly detected as an incidental finding of radiological or ultrasound studies for other indications. Organ-sparing renal tumor resection as open partial nephrectomy (OPN) is the i...

Transareolar Robotic-Assisted Access to the Mitral Valve.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)
During the past years, a rapid development and refinements of robotic heart valve techniques have led to consider robotic mitral valve (MV) surgery safe, effective, and durable. Robotic MV surgery has proven to be a cost-effective and cost-saving str...

Past, Present, and Future of Minimally Invasive Abdominal Surgery.

JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons
Laparoscopic surgery has generated a revolution in operative medicine during the past few decades. Although strongly criticized during its early years, minimization of surgical trauma and the benefits of minimization to the patient have been brought ...
