OBJECTIVE: Although there have been studies conducted on the instantaneous remote center of motion (RCM) mechanism, the general closed-loop control method has not been studied. Thus, this article fills that gap and employs the advantages of this mech...
Precise manipulation of flexible surgical tools is crucial in minimally invasive surgical procedures, necessitating a miniature and flexible robotic probe that can precisely direct the surgical instruments. In this work, we developed a polymer-based ...
The next generation of surgical robotics is poised to disrupt healthcare systems worldwide, requiring new frameworks for evaluation. However, evaluation during a surgical robot's development is challenging due to their complex evolving nature, potent...

AIM: Robotic surgery is increasingly being used for rectal resection, with short-term benefits such as reduced hospital stay, faster bowel recovery and fewer complications. However, its utility for advanced rectal cancers requiring beyond total mesor...
Subcutaneous emphysema (SE) is a complication of laparoscopic surgery, potentially resulting in severe respiratory failure. No reports to date have focused on SE during robot-assisted (RA) rectal surgery. We aimed to reveal the risk factors and clini...
Robotic surgery started nearly 30 years ago. It has achieved telepresence and the performance of repetitive, precise, and accurate tasks. The "master-slave" robotic system allows control of manipulators by surgeon at distant site. Robotic surgical fi...
The increased operative time and costs represent the main limitations of robotic technology application to bariatric surgery. Robotic platforms may help the surgeon to overcome the technical difficulties in super-obese (SO, BMI ≥ 50 kg/m) patients, i...
The use of robots has revolutionized healthcare, wherein further innovations have led to improved precision and accuracy. Conceived in the late 1960s, robot-assisted surgeries have evolved to become an integral part of various surgical specialties. M...
