With the more extensive application of flexible robots, the expectation for flexible manipulators is also increasing rapidly. However, the fast convergence will cause the increase of vibration amplitude to some extent, and it is difficult to obtain v...
INTRODUCTION: Due to its many technical advantages, the scope of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is expanding to include extended pulmonary resection. Among such procedures, right bilobectomy is one with a high risk of inducing development of ...
BACKGROUND: Urinary continence (UC) recovery dramatically affects quality of life after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Membranous urethral length (MUL) has been the most studied anatomical variable associated with UC recovery.
INTRODUCTION: Robotic partial nephrectomy is a complex minimally invasive procedure that addresses the intricate anatomy of renal masses while maximizing preservation of renal function. However, while common in adults, the evolution toward these mini...
Recent innovations within the field of robotic surgery have particular relevance to colorectal surgery. Although a robotic approach has been associated with satisfactory outcomes, there remains a wide variation in levels of adoption. In particular, t...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between enlarged prostate, bulky median lobe (BML) or prior benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery and perioperative functional, and oncological outcomes in high-risk (HR) prostate cancer (PCa) patients tre...
Automatically recognising surgical gestures from surgical data is an important building block of automated activity recognition and analytics, technical skill assessment, intra-operative assistance and eventually robotic automation. The complexity of...
Double lumen esophagus is an extremely rare condition, developing in most cases as a complication of antireflux procedures or gastroesophageal reflux itself secondary to the severe inflammatory process in and around the lower esophagus. We describe a...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to introduce our robotic technique, which can minimize dissection extent using the da Vinci SP robotic system via hairline incision.
