The Urologic clinics of North America
Nov 20, 2014
The indication for use of laparoscopy, in the pediatric population, was initially for diagnostic purposes. As confidence with the technology and utility grew, it began to be applied for therapeutic indications. With equivalent surgical outcomes and d...
Head-down tilt lithotomy position and well-leg compartment syndrome: An international survey of current practice.
Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland
Jun 1, 2025
AIM: Well-leg compartment syndrome (WLCS) is a serious complication of prolonged surgery in the head-down tilt lithotomy (HDTL) position associated with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. However, there is a lack of awareness and clinic...
PIAA: Pre-imaging all-round assistant for digital radiography.
Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Jan 1, 2025
BACKGROUND: In radiography procedures, radiographers' suboptimal positioning and exposure parameter settings may necessitate image retakes, subjecting patients to unnecessary ionizing radiation exposure. Reducing retakes is crucial to minimize patien...
Robot-assisted intrathoracic procedure for dumbbell tumour in the prone position.
Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery
Oct 4, 2021
A 24-year-old man presented with a dumbbell-shaped right posterior mediastinal mass. The patient was placed in the prone position following general anaesthesia and intubation. After laminectomy and dissection of the dorsal part of the tumour using a ...
Modeling and performance evaluation of a robotic treatment couch for tumor tracking.
Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
Oct 1, 2016
Tumor motion during radiation therapy increases the irradiation of healthy tissue. However, this problem may be mitigated by moving the patient via the treatment couch such that the tumor motion relative to the beam is minimized. The treatment couch ...
