BACKGROUND: Robotic assistance in thyroidectomy is a developing field that promises enhanced surgical precision and improved patient outcomes. This study investigates the impact of the da Vinci Surgical System on operative efficiency, learning curve,...
OBJECTIVE: Surgical skill assessment tools such as the End-to-End Assessment of Suturing Expertise (EASE) can differentiate a surgeon's experience level. In this simulation-based study, we define a competency benchmark for intraoperative robotic sutu...
As interpersonal synchrony plays a key role in building rapport, the perception of another agent's synchronizing behavior could be an important feature to assess, especially with patients with social deficits such as in schizophrenia. Twenty-four sch...
INTRODUCTION: Extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) in men undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a widely used procedure. However, little is known about anatomical site-specific yields and subsequent metastati...
A chain formation strategy based on mobile frames for a set of n differential drive mobile robots is presented. Considering two consecutive robots in the formation, robots Ri and Ri+1. It is intended that robot Ri+1 follows the delayed trajectory, τ ...
The rapid development of natural language processing technology and improvements in computer performance in recent years have resulted in the wide-scale development and adoption of human-machine dialogue systems. In this study, the Icc_dialogue model...
Robot assisted surgery (RAS) is increasingly used, and besides conventional minimally invasive surgery (cMIS) surgeons are challenged to learn an increased array of skills. This study aimed to assess the influence of both learning curves on each othe...
There is a lack of training curricula and educational concepts for robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). It remains unclear how surgical residents can be trained in this new technology and how robotics can be integrated into surgical residency training. Th...
