UC-NfNet: Deep learning-enabled assessment of ulcerative colitis from colonoscopy images.

Medical image analysis
Ulcerative colitis (UC) belongs to the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) family, which is mainly caused by inflammation of the tissue in the colon and rectum. The severity of this infection can radically affect the patient's overall well-being. Althou...

Cost analysis and cost-effectiveness of open versus laparoscopic versus robot-assisted versus transanal total mesorectal excision in patients with rectal cancer: a protocol for a systematic review.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Nowadays, most rectal tumours are treated open or minimally invasive, using laparoscopic, robot-assisted or transanal total mesorectal excision. However, insight into the total costs of these techniques is limited. Since all three techn...

The learning curve of laparoscopic, robot-assisted and transanal total mesorectal excisions: a systematic review.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The standard treatment of rectal carcinoma is surgical resection according to the total mesorectal excision principle, either by open, laparoscopic, robot-assisted or transanal technique. No clear consensus exists regarding the length of ...

Single-Port, Robot-Assisted Transanal Harvest of Rectal Mucosa Grafts for Substitution Urethroplasty.

Urology
OBJECTIVE: To describe a novel single-port, endorobotic technique for harvesting rectal mucosa grafts (RMGs) for urethral reconstruction.

Robot-assisted Total Mesorectal Excision and Lateral Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection for Locally Advanced Middle-low Rectal Cancer.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Since their approval for clinical use, da Vinci surgical robots have shown great advantages in gastrointestinal surgical operations, especially in complex procedures. The high-quality 3-D visual, multijoint arm and natural tremor filtration allow the...

Early experience with the ARTISENTIAL articulated instruments in laparoscopic low anterior resection with TME.

Techniques in coloproctology
BACKGROUND: The notion of articulation in surgery has been largely synonymous with robotics. The ARTISENTIAL instruments aim at bringing advanced articulation to laparoscopy to overcome challenges in narrow anatomical spaces. In this paper, we presen...

Initial clinical experience with a novel flexible endoscopic robot for transanal surgery.

Techniques in coloproctology
BACKGROUND: The Flex Robotic System (Medrobotics, Raynham, MA, USA) is the first miniaturised flexible endoscopic robot that aims to allow surgical manoeuvres beyond the area currently reached by transanal endoscopic microsurgery. The aim of this stu...
