3D reconstruction of the intra-operative scenes provides precise position information which is the foundation of various safety related applications in robot-assisted surgery, such as augmented reality. Herein, a framework integrated into a known sur...
Effective force modulation during tissue manipulation is important for ensuring safe, robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). Strict requirements for in vivo applications have led to prior sensor designs that trade off ease of manufacture ...
OBJECTIVE: Many robotic mitral surgeons utilize right thoracotomy with transthoracic clamping of the aorta, while a smaller number employ a port-only endoscopic approach with endoaortic balloon occlusion of the aorta. We present our technique for a p...

PURPOSE: This paper introduces the stiffness-tunable soft actuator (STSA), a novel device that combines a silicone body with a thermoplastic resin structure (TPRS). The STSA's design allows for the variable stiffness of soft robots, significantly inc...
Surgical skill assessment can quantify the quality of the surgical operation via the motion state of the surgical instrument tip (SIT), which is considered one of the effective primary means by which to improve the accuracy of surgical operation. Tra...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this randomized trial is to evaluate the early removal of postoperative drains after robot-assisted minimally invasive oesophagectomy (RAMIE). Evidence is lacking about feasibility, associated pain, recovery, and morbidity.
