BACKGROUND: Robot-Assisted Simple Prostatectomy (RASP) has emerged as a promising alternative in the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). However, there is currently a lack of comparative studies evaluating different robotic platforms for...
Robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a computerized-tomography (CT) based workflow increases surgical time relative to traditional manual technique. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the intra-operative efficiencies of t...
A patch clamp is the "gold standard" method for studying ion-channel biophysics and pharmacology. Due to the complexity of the operation and the heavy reliance on experimenter experience, more and more researchers are focusing on patch-clamp automati...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the health-related quality of life and cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) versus conventional 'straight stick' laparoscopic surgery (CLS) in women undergoing hysterectomy as part of their treatment ...
BACKGROUND: While well-established protocols direct laparoscopic training, there remains a relative paucity of guidelines for robotic education. Furthermore, it is unknown how exposure to one platform influences trainees' proficiency in the other. Th...
PURPOSE: Patients who undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) may present concurrent or secondary inguinal hernia (IH). Surgical repair of IH simultaneously with RARP has been reported. We aimed to assess the long-term effica...
In the research field of robotic spine surgery, there is a big upcoming momentum for surgeon-like autonomous behaviour and surgical accuracy in robotics which goes beyond the standard engineering notions such as geometric precision. The objective of ...
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and safety of robot-assisted (RA) cervical screw placement with conventional freehand (FH) technique.
BACKGROUND: Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) is an emerging alternative to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). Although RPD offers various theoretical advantages, it is used in less than 10% of all pancreaticoduodenectomies. The aim of this stud...
