Scientists around the world have long aimed to produce miniature robots that can be controlled inside the human body to aid doctors in identifying and treating diseases. Such microrobots hold the potential to access hard-to-reach areas of the body th...
Gastric cancer remains a formidable health challenge worldwide; early detection and effective surgical intervention are critical for improving patient outcomes. This comprehensive review explores the evolving landscape of gastric cancer management, e...
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a very frequent surgical procedure. However, in an ageing society, less surgical staff will need to perform surgery on patients. Collaborative surgical robots (cobots) could address surgical staff shortages...
BACKGROUND: The primary surgical approach for removing adrenal masses is minimally invasive adrenalectomy. Recognition of anatomical landmarks during surgery is critical for minimizing complications. Artificial intelligence-based tools can be utilize...
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) based semantic segmentation of the robotic instruments and tissues can enhance the precision of surgical activities in robot-assisted surgery. However, in biological learning, DNNs cannot learn incremental tasks over time ...
