Trends in the surgical management of parapharyngeal space tumors: A single-center retrospective analysis.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
PURPOSE: Surgery remains the mainstay treatment for parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors. Given the rapid advance and increasing usage of endoscopic and robotic techniques, we aimed to investigate the surgical trends of PPS tumors in our institution and...

Evaluating Surgical Outcomes of Robot Assisted Simple Prostatectomy in the Retreatment Setting.

Urology
OBJECTIVE: To report perioperative and postoperative outcomes in men who undergo salvage RASP (sRASP) following some other endoscopic outlet procedure for benign prostate enlargement (BPE) compared to those undergoing RASP for primary treatment (pRAS...

Miniature Amphibious Robot Actuated by Rigid-Flexible Hybrid Vibration Modules.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Amphibious robots can undertake various tasks in terrestrial and aquatic environments for their superior environmental compatibility. However, the existing amphibious robots usually utilize multi-locomotion systems with transmission mechanisms, leadi...

Toward Safer Navigation of Heterogeneous Mobile Robots in Distributed Scheme: A Novel Time-to-Collision-Based Method.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
For safe and efficient navigation of heterogeneous multiple mobile robots (HMRs), it is essential to incorporate dynamics (mass and inertia) in motion control algorithms. Many methods rely only on kinematics or point-mass models, resulting in conserv...

Moving-Distance-Minimized PSO for Mobile Robot Swarm.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Particle swarm optimizer (PSO) and mobile robot swarm are two typical swarm techniques. Many applications emerge separately along both of them while the similarity between them is rarely considered. When a solution space is a certain region in realit...

GR-ConvNet v2: A Real-Time Multi-Grasp Detection Network for Robotic Grasping.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
We propose a dual-module robotic system to tackle the problem of generating and performing antipodal robotic grasps for unknown objects from the n-channel image of the scene. We present an improved version of the Generative Residual Convolutional Neu...

Cost analysis and cost-effectiveness of open versus laparoscopic versus robot-assisted versus transanal total mesorectal excision in patients with rectal cancer: a protocol for a systematic review.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Nowadays, most rectal tumours are treated open or minimally invasive, using laparoscopic, robot-assisted or transanal total mesorectal excision. However, insight into the total costs of these techniques is limited. Since all three techn...

Robotics is useful for less-experienced surgeons in spinal deformity surgery.

European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie
PURPOSE: To verify whether robotics was useful for surgeons who had less experience with spinal deformity surgery.

Indocyanine green fluorescence in robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy with intrathoracic anastomosis: a prospective study.

Updates in surgery
Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) allows for real-time intraoperative assessment of the perfusion of the gastric conduit during esophagectomy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the implementation of ICG-FA durin...
