Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Bilateral Ileal Ureter in Duplex Ureter With Strictures After Treatment Failure of Allium Stents.

Urology
BACKGROUND: Ureteral injury and vaginal fistula are common complications after surgical treatment and radiotherapy of gynecological tumor. Ureteral injury in duplex system is more challenging and rarely reported. OBJECTIVE: We report our surgical tec...

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery with or without robotics: Examining the evidence.

Journal of cardiac surgery
Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery can be performed with or without robotic assistance. In this issue of the journal, Zheng et al. compare between these two approaches in a propensity-matched study over a 5-year period and show that the two tech...

A Novel Wearable Soft Glove for Hand Rehabilitation and Assistive Grasping.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In order to assist patients with finger rehabilitation training and grasping objects, we propose a new type of soft rehabilitation gloves (SRGs), which has both flexion/extension and abduction/adduction movement function for every finger. This paper ...

Innovative Design of a Healthy and Environmentally Friendly Intelligent Cleaning Robot in a Smart City Public Environment.

Journal of environmental and public health
With the expansion of modern society, there has been a substantial increase in the number of structures with multiple stories. Skyscrapers are not only the dream of incredible architects that desire to command the sky, but they have also transformed ...

An assessment of perioperative outcomes for open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy in New York State.

Journal of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive techniques for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are increasing in practice, however, data remains limited regarding perioperative outcomes. Our study sought to compare patients undergoing open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) ...

Quantification of manipulation forces needed for robot-assisted reduction of the ankle syndesmosis: an initial cadaveric study.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Manual surgical manipulation of the tibia and fibula is necessary to properly align and reduce the space in ankle fractures involving sprain of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. However, manual reduction is highly variable and can result ...

Fine Alignment of Thermographic Images for Robotic Inspection of Parts with Complex Geometries.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Increasing the efficiency of the quality control phase in industrial production lines through automation is a rapidly growing trend. In non-destructive testing, active thermography techniques are known for their suitability to allow rapid non-contact...

Application of an EMG-Rehabilitation Robot in Patients with Post-Coronavirus Fatigue Syndrome (COVID-19)-A Feasibility Study.

International journal of environmental research and public health
This pilot study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of an EMG-driven rehabilitation robot in patients with Post-Viral Fatigue (PVF) syndrome after COVID-19. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups (IG-intervention group and CG-c...

Novel Gerota-edge-sling technique facilitates retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy: a comparative study.

BMC urology
BACKGROUND: Retroperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy is markedly restricted by limited space and visual field. We introduced a novel Gerota-edge-sling (GES) technique with self-designed traction devices to overcome these defects by attaching Gerot...

Differential biases in human-human versus human-robot interactions.

Applied ergonomics
The research on human-robot interactions indicates possible differences toward robot trust that do not exist in human-human interactions. Research on these differences has traditionally focused on performance degradations. The current study sought to...
