INTRODUCTION: Various minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) techniques have been developed with the goal of reducing approach-related soft-tissue trauma and its associated complications. However, there is still a debate on some of the potential dra...
BACKGROUND: The rapid adoption of robotics within minimally invasive surgical specialties has also seen an explosion of new technology including multi- and single port, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), endoluminal and "on-dema...
This paper proposes a method for generating dynamic virtual fixtures with real-time 3D image feedback to facilitate human-robot collaboration in medical robotics. Seamless shared control in a dynamic environment, like that of a surgical field, remain...
Precise manipulation of flexible surgical tools is crucial in minimally invasive surgical procedures, necessitating a miniature and flexible robotic probe that can precisely direct the surgical instruments. In this work, we developed a polymer-based ...
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) faces challenges in obtaining high-quality imaging results due to the limited spatial environment. In this paper, we present an all-in-one image super-resolution (SR) algorithm designed to tackle this c...
Robot-assisted (RA) technology has been widely used in spine surgery. This analysis aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of RA minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) and fluoroscopy-assisted (FA) MIS-TLIF for de...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy and effectiveness of orthopaedic robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery versus open surgery for limb osteoid osteoma.
Thyroid surgery is characterized by large volumes and typically affects a young female population. Mini-invasive or remote access surgical techniques are born driven by the desire to improve aesthetic outcomes of the traditional technique, following ...
