BACKGROUND: Evidence on the value of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (MIPS) has been increasing but it is unclear how this has influenced the view of pancreatic surgeons on MIPS.
BACKGROUND: Technical skill assessment in surgery relies on expert opinion. Therefore, it is time-consuming, costly, and often lacks objectivity. Analysis of intraoperative data by artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential for automated technica...
BACKGROUND: Direct optical trocar insertion is a common procedure in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. However, misinterpretations of the abdominal wall anatomy can lead to severe complications. Artificial intelligence has shown promise in sur...
Microrobots are being explored for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, biological cargo transport, and minimally invasive surgery. However, current efforts largely focus on proof-of-concept studies with nontranslatable materials through a...

PURPOSE: During minimally invasive surgery, surgeons maneuver tools through complex anatomies, which is difficult without the ability to control the position of the tools inside the body. A potential solution for a substantial portion of these proced...
To compare early and medium-term outcomes between robotic and sternotomy approaches for mitral valve replacement (MVR). Clinical data of 1393 cases who underwent MVR between January 2014 and January 2023 were collected and stratified into robotic MVR...
Despite the substantial progress achieved in the development and integration of augmented reality (AR) in surgical robotic and autonomous systems (RAS), the center of focus in most devices remains on improving end-effector dexterity and precision, as...
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a stroke subtype with high mortality and disability, and there are no proven medical treatments that can improve the functional outcome of ICH patients. Robot-assisted neurosurgery is a significant advancement in the...
