Outcomes of robotic partial excision of the levator ani muscle for locally advanced low rectal cancer invading the ipsilateral pelvic floor at the anorectal ring level.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate partial excision of the levator ani muscle (PELM) enables preservation of anal sphincter function although levator ani muscle (LAM) was invaded.

The role of robotic technology in minimally invasive surgery for mitral valve disease.

Expert review of medical devices
INTRODUCTION: Robotic mitral valve surgery has developed for more than 20 years. The main purpose of robotic assistance is to use multiwristed instruments for surgical endothoracic maneuvers on the mitral valve without opening the chest. The surgeon ...

A novel encountered-type master device with precise manipulation for robot-assisted microsurgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The unconstrained master devices have emerged as attractive alternatives to the existing linkage-based counterparts. However, the conventional unconstrained master device's manipulation methods have several disadvantages in efficiency and...

An Audit of Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgeries in Children: Early Experience from a Tertiary Care Center in India.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
Over the last decade, a significant rise in pediatric robot-assisted minimally invasive surgeries has been observed. Apart from the urological surgeries in children, robot assistance for complex nonurological reconstructions is being explored increa...

A Comparison of Clinical Outcomes Between Two Different Models of Surgical Robots in Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
For the past 20 years, robotic surgical systems have been used for the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.) has been one of the most used robotic platforms. This study aims to retrospectively compa...

Artificial Intelligence Surgery: How Do We Get to Autonomous Actions in Surgery?

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Most surgeons are skeptical as to the feasibility of autonomous actions in surgery. Interestingly, many examples of autonomous actions already exist and have been around for years. Since the beginning of this millennium, the field of artificial intel...

Bioinspired, Shape-Morphing Scale Battery for Untethered Soft Robots.

Soft robotics
Geometrically multifunctional structures inspired by nature can address the challenges in the development of soft robotics. A bioinspired structure based on origami and kirigami can significantly enhance the stretchability and reliability of soft rob...

Inverse optimal control to model human trajectories during locomotion.

Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering
Cobotic applications require a good knowledge of human behaviour in order to be cleverly, securely and fluidly performed. For example, to make a human and a humanoid robot perform a co-navigation or a co-manipulation task, a model of human walking tr...

Robotics for neuroendovascular intervention: Background and primer.

The neuroradiology journal
The simultaneous growth of robotic-assisted surgery and telemedicine in recent years has only been accelerated by the recent coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Robotic assistance for neurovascular intervention has garnered significant interest due to...

Electric signal synchronization as a behavioural strategy to generate social attention in small groups of mormyrid weakly electric fish and a mobile fish robot.

Biological cybernetics
African weakly electric fish communicate at night by constantly emitting and perceiving brief electrical signals (electric organ discharges, EOD) at variable inter-discharge intervals (IDI). While the waveform of single EODs contains information abou...
