Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) offers several advantages to patients including minimum blood loss and quick recovery time. However, lack of tactile or haptic feedback and poor visualization of the surgical site often result in some unintentional ti...
Minimally invasive surgical robots have the advantages of high positioning accuracy, good stability, and flexible operation, which can effectively improve the quality of surgery and reduce the difficulty for doctors to operate. However, in order to r...
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (RA-MIDCAB) surgery and hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) are minimally invasive alternative strategies to conventional coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with i...
BACKGROUND: Currently, little is known regarding the optimal technique for the abdominal phase of RAMIE. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) in both the abdominal and thoraci...
Despite increasing implementation of robotic surgery and minimally invasive techniques within adult surgical oncology and pediatric general surgery, the utilization of robotic-assisted resections for pediatric tumors has been met with controversy. Th...
Pediatric robotic surgery offers children a minimally invasive approach with numerous advantages over open or thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery. However, despite its widespread adoption for adult patients, the utilization of robotic surgery with...
To provide a stable surgical view in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), it is necessary for a flexible endoscope applied in MIS to have adjustable stiffness to resist different external loads from surrounding organs and tissues. Pneumatic soft actuato...
