INTRODUCTION: Single port laparoscopy (SPL) and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) are next-generation minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures which could further reduce patient trauma. Robotic assistance shows great potentia...
CONTEXT: Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) is rapidly increasing; however, the benefit of RPN over laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is controversial.

In minimally invasive surgery methods such as laparoscopic surgery, surgical instruments are introduced through small incisions to minimize patient trauma and recovery times. To reduce the number of incisions, new techniques such as natural orifice t...
The goal of this cadaver study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of da Vinci robot-assisted keyhole neurosurgery. Several keyhole craniotomies were fashioned including supraorbital subfrontal, retrosigmoid and supracerebellar infratentorial....
To quantitatively evaluate the efficacy, precision, and reproducibility of the surgical navigation module of a novel robotic-assisted anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) system during bone tunnel drilling using models. Thirty 3D-print...
More and more studies have confirmed that robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) can improve surgical accuracy and has a user-friendly learning curve. However, most current studies evaluating the learning curve use operative time as the sta...
BACKGROUND: Most of the focus regarding total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant positioning and alignment has been centered on the coronal plane. Posterior condylar offset (PCO) and tibial slope (TS) are sagittal parameters that are measured on radiogr...
