Tele-robotic distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection on a cadaver.

Asian journal of endoscopic surgery
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of tele-robotic distal gastrectomy (tele-RDG) with lymph node dissection (LND) using a novel Japanese-made surgical robot hinotoriā„¢ (Medicaroid, Kobe, Japan) in a cadaver with a presumptive gas...

Eye-mounting goggles to bridge the gap between benchtop experiments and in vivo robotic eye surgery.

Scientific reports
A variety of robot-assisted surgical systems have been proposed to improve the precision of eye surgery. Evaluation of these systems has typically relied on benchtop experiments with artificial or enucleated eyes. However, this does not properly acco...

Controlling jumps through latches in small jumping robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Small jumping robots can use springs to maximize jump performance, but they are typically not able to control the height of each jump owing to design constraints. This study explores the use of the jumper's latch, the component that mediates the rele...

BECS-II: an updated bio-inspired electrocommunication system for small underwater robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Some weakly electric fish can use electric signals to interact and communicate with each other in dark and complex underwater environments where traditional underwater communication fails. In our previous work, we developed a bio-inspired electrocomm...

Towards multifunctional robotic pills.

Nature biomedical engineering
Robotic pills leverage the advantages of oral pharmaceutical formulations-in particular, convenient encapsulation, high loading capacity, ease of manufacturing and high patient compliance-as well as the multifunctionality, increasing miniaturization ...

Clinical Outcomes of Robotic Resection for Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma: A First, Multicenter, Trans-Atlantic, Expert-Center, Collaborative Study.

Annals of surgical oncology
INTRODUCTION: Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is a difficult cancer to treat with frequent vascular invasion, local recurrence, and poor survival. Due to the need for biliary anastomosis and potential vascular resection, the standard approach is an open...

Robot-assisted versus open radical prostatectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies.

Journal of robotic surgery
The study aims to synthesize all available prospective comparative studies and reports the latest systematic analysis and updated evidence comparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with open radical prostatectomy (ORP) for perioperative, ...

Robot-assisted fluorescent sentinel lymph node identification in early-stage colon cancer.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Patients with cT1-2 colon cancer (CC) have a 10-20% risk of lymph node metastases. Sentinel lymph node identification (SLNi) could improve staging and reduce morbidity in future organ-preserving CC surgery. This pilot study aimed to asses...

Cost-effectiveness analysis of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for complex pediatric surgical conditions.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robotics has been used safely and successfully in a variety of adult surgeries and is gradually gaining ground in pediatrics. While the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery in disease treatment are well recognized, its high cost has led t...

Perioperative safety and efficacy of robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty in ERAS-managed patients: a pilot study.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research
AIMS: Robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) boasts superior accuracy in implant placement, but there is a lack of effective assessment in perioperative management in the context of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). This study aimed to co...
