Heller myotomy perforation: robotic visualization decreases perforation rate and revisional surgery is a perforation risk.

Journal of robotic surgery
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has improved surgical access to the foregut. While the benefits of MIS versus open surgery are well accepted, the relative benefits of laparoscopic versus robotic approaches continue to be debated. Procedure-specific ...

Static Modeling of Soft Reinforced Bending Actuator Considering External Force Constraints.

Soft robotics
Soft robots are utilized in various operations such as rehabilitation, manipulation, and locomotion. These robots are sometimes excited by means of rubber based bending actuators, which are highly nonlinear and hyperelastic. In addition, in contrast ...

Robot-assisted laparoscopic urologic surgery in infants weighing ≤10 kg: A weight stratified analysis.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) urologic surgery is widely used in pediatric patients, though less commonly in infants. There are small series demonstrating safety and efficacy in infants, however, stratification by infant size has ra...

State of the Art in Robot-Assisted Eye Surgery.

Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde
Despite the advantages that robot-assisted surgery can offer to patient care, its use in ophthalmic surgery has not yet progressed to the extent seen in other fields. As such, its use remains limited to research environments, both basic and clinical....

Stratification of Potency Outcomes Following Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy Based on Age, Preoperative Potency, and Nerve Sparing.

Journal of endourology
To identify factors affecting potency and to predict ideal patient subgroups who will have the highest chance of being potent after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) based on nerve sparing (NS). Analysis of 7268 patients who underwen...

Improving Human-Robot Interaction by Enhancing NAO Robot Awareness of Human Facial Expression.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
An intriguing challenge in the human-robot interaction field is the prospect of endowing robots with emotional intelligence to make the interaction more genuine, intuitive, and natural. A crucial aspect in achieving this goal is the robot's capabilit...

A magnetically controlled soft miniature robotic fish with a flexible skeleton inspired by zebrafish.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The untethered miniature swimming robot actuation and control is difficult as the robot size becomes smaller, due to limitations of feasible miniaturized on-board components. Nature provides much inspiration for developing miniature robot. Here, a ne...

Extended robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection as a monotherapy in patients with very high-risk prostate cancer Patients.

Cancer medicine
BACKGROUND: Patients with very-high-risk prostate cancer (VHRPCa) have earlier biochemical recurrences (BCRs) and higher mortality rates. It remains unknown whether extended robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (eRALP) without neoadjuvant or adj...

Comparison of Display Modality and Human-in-the-Loop Presence for On-Orbit Inspection of Spacecraft.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of interface display modalities and human-in-the-loop presence on the awareness, workload, performance, and user strategies of humans interacting with teleoperated robotic systems while conducting inspection tasks...
