This paper proposes an ankle rehabilitation robot to assist hemiplegic patients with movement training. The robot consists of two symmetric mechanisms, allowing stroke survivors to execute ankle rehabilitation training based on physiological differen...
OBJECTIVES: Numbers of research have reported the usage of robot-assisted gait training for walking restoration post-stroke. However, no consistent conclusion has been reached yet about the efficacy of exoskeleton robot-assisted training (ERAT) on ga...
PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy of continuous suturing using barbed suture for vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA) during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive approaches to the spine via anterior and posterior approaches have been increasing in popularity, culminating in the development of robot-assisted spinal fusions. The da Vinci surgical robot has been used for anterior l...
INTRODUCTION: Failure of the cricopharyngeus to relax results in oropharyngeal dysphagia, which over time results in hypertrophy and increased risk for aspiration. Open myotomy is one definitive treatment option, however there are several drawbacks a...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Navigation and robotic technologies have emerged as an alternative option to conventional freehand techniques for pedicle screw insertion. However, the effectiveness of these technologies in reducing the perioperative complication...
BACKGROUND: We compared the perioperative efficacy and safety of da Vinci robot-assisted Ivor Lewis esophagectomy and McKeown esophagectomy for middle and lower thoracic esophageal cancer.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of selective artery clamping (SAC) and main artery clamping (MAC) during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) on renal function and the influence of holographic three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of renal ...
