As a relatively new specialty with a minimally invasive nature, the field of interventional radiology is rapidly growing. Although the application of robotic systems in this field shows great promise, such as with increased precision, accuracy, and s...
Precision agricultural techniques try to prevent either an excessive or inadequate application of agrochemicals during pesticide application. In recent years, it has become popular to combine traditional agricultural practices with artificial intelli...
OBJECTIVE: To compare robot-assisted simple prostatectomy intraoperative and postoperative.ßoutcomes between single-port (SP) and multiport (MP) robotic systems in a multi-institutional setting.
Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) was first described in 2004 and, since its introduction in clinical practice, has progressively gained increasing popularity. Over the years, the indications have also expanded, enabling robot-assisted surg...
In recent years, master-slave vascular robots have been developed to address the problem of radiation exposure during vascular interventions for surgeons. However, the single visual feedback reduces surgeon immersion and transparency of the system. I...
