BACKGROUND: The da Vinci single-port (SP) is utilized in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) procedures for malignant oropharyngeal tumors. We report a case utilizing the da Vinci SP in TORS for sialolith removal.
In the present report, we have broadly outlined the potential advances in the field of skull base surgery, which might occur within the next 20 years based on the many areas of current research in biology and technology. Many of these advances will a...
INTRODUCTION: Stray energy transfer from surgical monopolar radiofrequency energy instruments can cause unintended thermal injuries during laparoscopic surgery. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery transfers more stray energy than traditional laparos...

PURPOSE: The surgical instrument tracking framework, especially the marker-free surgical instrument tracking framework, is the key to visual servoing which is applied to achieve active control for laparoscope-holder robots. This paper presented a mar...
BACKGROUND: The RENAL (radius [R], exophytic/endophytic [E], nearness to collecting system/sinus [N], anterior/posterior [A], and location relative to polar lines [L]) and the PADUA (preoperative aspects and dimensions used for an anatomical classifi...
BACKGROUND: Minimal literature describes the impact of hilar control on the progression to chronic kidney disease (pCKD) after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) in solitary kidneys (SK). The aim of this study was to compare purely off-clamp (ocRPN) v...
To analyze predictors of open conversion during minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) for cT1 renal masses. The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was investigated for kidney cancer patients who underwent partial nephrectomy (PN) between 2010 ...
