Long-term mesh erosion rate following abdominal robotic reconstructive pelvic floor surgery: a prospective study and overview of the literature.

International urogynecology journal
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The use of synthetic mesh in transvaginal pelvic floor surgery has been subject to debate internationally. Although mesh erosion appears to be less associated with an abdominal approach, the long-term outcome has not been...

Laparoscopic pediatric pyeloplasty using the Flexdex® articulating needle driver: step-by-step video.

Journal of pediatric urology
Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) stenosis is the most common cause of pathological neonatal hydronephrosis. UPJ obstruction may be treated conservatively in some cases, but surgery is indicated if symptoms occur or renal function deteriorates. Pyeloplast...

Multi-Modal Haptic Feedback for Grip Force Reduction in Robotic Surgery.

Scientific reports
Minimally invasive robotic surgery allows for many advantages over traditional surgical procedures, but the loss of force feedback combined with a potential for strong grasping forces can result in excessive tissue damage. Single modality haptic feed...

Robot-assisted Tongue Base Resection ensures favorable therapeutic outcome to Obstructive Sleep Apnea patients with Lingual tonsil hypertrophy.

Scientific reports
Tongue base (TB) narrowing is recognized as a significant site of upper airway collapse during sleep in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients and robot technology is expected to have promising clinical utility in OSA patients with TB narrowing. The ...

Effect of Initial Graft Tension During Calcaneofibular Ligament Reconstruction on Ankle Kinematics and Laxity.

The American journal of sports medicine
BACKGROUND: Although a variety of surgical procedures for lateral ankle ligament reconstruction have frequently been reported, little is known about the effects of initial graft tension. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to investigate the effects ...

Biomechanical Assessment of Hip Capsular Repair and Reconstruction Procedures Using a 6 Degrees of Freedom Robotic System.

The American journal of sports medicine
BACKGROUND: Although acetabular labral repair has been biomechanically validated to improve stability, capsular management of the hip remains a topic of growing interest and controversy.

Pyeloplasty in children: perioperative results and long-term outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery compared to open surgery.

Pediatric surgery international
BACKGROUND: A few studies have compared robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) with open pyeloplasty (OP) in children, but no previous study includes a long-term follow-up of renal function and hydronephrosis in combination with a thorough ...

Trans-oral robotic cleft surgery (TORCS) for palate and posterior pharyngeal wall reconstruction: A feasibility study.

Journal of plastic, reconstructive & aesthetic surgery : JPRAS
BACKGROUND/AIM: Robot-assisted surgery has become increasingly routine, replacing open and laparoscopic techniques in certain domains, with recent extension to head and neck surgery through trans-oral access. Some advantages of the robot-assisted sur...
