AIM: Slow laparoscopy adoption accelerated the uptake of robotic surgery. However, the current robotic platforms have limitations in transanal applications and multiple port sites. The da Vinci single-port (SP) robot is currently used on trial for co...
The importance of dynamic mechanical control over the cellular microenvironment has long been appreciated. In a recent issue of Device, Raman and colleagues design a clever yet generalizable tool to achieve this, illustrating magnetic stimulation of ...
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is a robust surrogate for chronic kidney disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of ischemia type and duration during RAPN with postope...

A robotic gym with multiple rehabilitation robots allows multiple patients to exercise simultaneously under the supervision of a single therapist. The multi-patient training outcome can potentially be improved by dynamically assigning patients to rob...
BACKGROUND: Periprostatic artificial urinary sphincter implantation (pAUSi) is a rare yet relevant indication for male neurogenic stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
In the present study, we present comparative outcomes of radical prostatectomy after whole-gland therapy (wg-SRARP) and focal gland therapy (f-SRARP). The study assessed 339 patients who underwent salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SRARP);...
INTRODUCTION: Assistive and service robots have been increasingly designed and deployed in long-term care (LTC) but little evidence guides their use. This scoping review synthesises existing studies on facilitators and barriers to using artificial in...
Robotics education is important in training children's thinking, practical, and innovation abilities. It is significant to stimulate children's interest in learning and improve their learning quality. The existing research has not paid attention to t...
