Experimental study and geometrical method to design bio-inspired robotic kinematic chains of inching-locomotion caterpillars.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inching-locomotion caterpillars (ILAR) show impressive environmental adaptation, having high dexterity and flexibility. To design robots that mimic these abilities, a novel bioinspired robotic design (BIROD) method is presented. The method is compose...

Transoral robotic vertical partial laryngectomy (hemilaryngectomy) extended to the hypopharynx.

Head & neck
Locally advanced laryngeal cancers treatment often involves total laryngectomy, which some patients are unwilling to undergo, even if this choice reduces their survival probability. Therefore, the objective of laryngeal oncologic surgery is not only ...

Outcomes of lateral approach in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: insights from a single-surgeon experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
In the era of robotic prostate surgery, various techniques have been developed to improve functional outcomes. Urinary continence has shown satisfactory results, but the preservation of lateral nerves to the periprostatic capsule is only achievable b...

Analysis of KangDuo-SR-1500 and KangDuo-SR-2000 robotic partial nephrectomy from an operative and ergonomic perspective: a prospective controlled study in porcine models.

Journal of robotic surgery
The objective of this study is to explore the safety and effectiveness of two new models of KangDuo surgical robots for partial nephrectomy in porcine models, and evaluate the ergonomic characteristics from both subjective and objective perspectives....

Measures of performance and proficiency in robotic assisted surgery: a systematic review.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic assisted surgery (RAS) has seen a global rise in adoption. Despite this, there is not a standardised training curricula nor a standardised measure of performance. We performed a systematic review across the surgical specialties in RAS and eva...

Inguinal hernia leads to worse immediate urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
OBJECTIVES: Patients with inguinal hernia (IH) may have voiding dysfunction and weak urethra-stabilizing periurethral fascial tissues, contributing to urinary incontinence. This study aimed to review the association between IH and urinary continence ...

Robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture treatment and risk factor screening for postoperative refracture.

Journal of robotic surgery
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) is a serious complication of osteoporosis, and percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a major therapeutic method for OVCF. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and postoperative complicat...

Perceived comfort and tool usability during robot-assisted and traditional laparoscopic surgery: a survey study.

Journal of robotic surgery
It is known that over half of previously surveyed surgeons performing Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery (RALS) and three-quarters of those performing Traditional Laparoscopic Surgery (TLS) experience intraoperative pain. This survey study aimed to ...

Engineers use a porcine heart scaffold to create a bio-robotic model of the right ventricle.

Artificial organs
The simulator can provide a dynamic and sophisticated platform to further aid in the study of the right heart in an era where numerous technologies are rapidly emerging in this space.

Robotic Anesthesia: A Vision for 2050.

Anesthesia and analgesia
The last 2 decades have brought important developments in anesthetic technology, including robotic anesthesia. Anesthesiologists titrate the administration of pharmacological agents to the patients' physiology and the needs of surgery, using a variet...
