To explore the learning curve of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in children. The clinical data, surgical information, and postoperative complications of consecutive cases of RALP performed by the same surgeon in Shanghai Children's Ho...
This paper proposes a generalized spring-loaded inverted pendulum (G-SLIP) model to explore various popular reduced-order dynamic models' characteristics and suggest a better robot leg design under specified performance indices. The G-SLIP model's co...
PURPOSE: It is unclear if robotic radical cystectomy with extracorporeal urinary diversion (eRARC) provides additional benefit when performed along with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). We assessed the additional efficacy of eRARC in terms of ...

Active sensing is a fundamental aspect of human and animal interactions with the environment, providing essential information about the hardness, texture, and tackiness of objects. This ability stems from the presence of diverse mechanoreceptors in t...
Three-dimensional image-guided surgical (3D-IGS) systems for minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) can potentially improve the efficiency and accuracy of intraoperative anatomical localization and tumor resection. This review seeks to analyz...
A 63-year-old man with stage 3a chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mild hyperkalemia was scheduled for a robot-assisted prostatectomy. He was being treated with lisinopril. Owing to mild hyperkalemia (6.2 mmol/L), lisinopril was discontinued, and sodiu...
The number of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgeries is increasing annually, together with the need for dedicated and effective training. Surgeons need to learn how to address the novel control modalities of surgical instruments and the loss of ...
