Stereo attention-based all-in-one super-resolution for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.

Journal of robotic surgery
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...

Effectiveness and safety of robot-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for degenerative lumbar spinal diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Journal of robotic surgery
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...

Dynamic Virtual Fixture Generation Based on Intra-Operative 3D Image Feedback in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Mini-invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy vs robot-assisted transaxillary thryoidectomy: analisys and comparison of safety and outcomes.

Updates in surgery
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 ...

Keyhole Fenestration for Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in the Thoracic Spine: Quantification of Bone Removal and Microsurgical Anatomy.

Operative neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A safe working trajectory is mandatory for spinal pathologies, especially in the midline, anterior to the spinal cord. For thoracic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, we developed a minimally invasive keyhole fenestration. Thi...

A Survey on Force Sensing Techniques in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is commonly used in some robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) systems. However, many RAS lack the strength and tactile sensation of surgical tools. Therefore, researchers have developed various force sensing techniques in r...

Evaluation status of current and emerging minimally invasive robotic surgical platforms.

Surgical endoscopy
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...

Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Multivessel Coronary Bypass Guided by Computerized Tomography.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery is one of the least invasive approaches that offers multivessel revascularization and accelerated recovery. We investigated the benefits of computed tomography angiography (CTA) gui...

A novel technology integrating robotics and 3D printing for closed reduction of tibia shaft fracture with MIPPO:A proof-of-concept study.

Medical engineering & physics
Less invasive fixation techniques, such as intramedullary nailing (IMN) and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO), are now the preferred choices for treating tibia shaft fractures (TSFs). However, malreduction and radiation exp...
