OBJECTIVES: To assess the postoperative status of clinically localized prostate cancer patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with a focus on de novo overactive bladder (OAB).
The albatross optimized flight maneuver-known as dynamic soaring-is nothing but a wonder of biology, physics, and engineering. By utilizing dynamic soaring, this fascinating bird can travel in the desired flight direction almost for free by harvestin...
In recent years, robotic minimally invasive surgery has transformed many types of surgical procedures and improved their outcomes. Implementing effective haptic feedback into a teleoperated robotic surgical system presents a significant challenge due...
Robotic grippers, inspired by human hands, show an extraordinary ability to manipulate objects of various shapes, sizes, or materials. However, capturing objects with varying kinetic energy remains challenging, regardless of the classical rigid-bodie...
Programmable matter can change its shape, stiffness or other physical properties upon command. Previous work has shown contactless optically controlled matter or magnetic actuation, but the former is limited in strength and the latter in spatial reso...

Robotic assistance can help in physically guiding the drilling trajectory during zygomatic implant positioning. A new robot-assisted strategy for a flapless zygomatic implant placement protocol is reported here. In this protocol, a preoperative compu...
Esophagectomy is the selected treatment for nonmetastatic esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancer, although high perioperative morbidity and mortality incur. Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) effectively reduces cardiopul...
