Many countries have enacted a quick response to the unexpected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by using existing technologies. For example, robotics, artificial intelligence, and digital technology have been deployed in hospitals and pub...
An untethered, soft robot using liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) actuators, onboard power, and wireless Bluetooth control was developed. LCE actuators were thermally triggered using Joule heating and demonstrated an ∼5 N force pull capacity per LCE. A ...
INTRODUCTION: This study describes the experience with robot-assisted transanal minimally invasive surgery (rTAMIS) at a single institution. TAMIS has become a popular minimally invasive technique for local excision of well-selected rectal lesions. r...
PURPOSE: The relevance of pancreatic texture for pancreatic fistula (POPF) formation after distal pancreatectomy (DP) remains ill defined. Recent POPF definition adjustments and common subjective pancreatic texture assessment are further drawbacks in...

Cues delivered by agents are known to trigger mental shortcuts associated with ontological category or the kind of thing an agent is. Two such heuristics are key to considering organic and machine agents, and result in biased evaluations: the machine...
Although safe and feasible, partial adrenalectomy is not a widespread procedure. Endorsement of robotic technologies and fluorescence techniques in adrenal surgery might help develop partial adrenalectomy and could avoid unnecessary total adrenalecto...

BACKGROUND: The impact of robot-assisted techniques versus conventional freehand techniques in terms of the accuracy of pedicle screw placement remains conflicting. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate this relationship.
After each robot end tool replacement, tool center point (TCP) calibration must be performed to achieve precise control of the end tool. This process is also essential for robot-assisted puncture surgery. The purpose of this article is to solve the p...
PURPOSE: The robotic system was introduced to overcome the technical limitations of conventional laparoscopy. For complex oncological operations, it appears to offer further advantages. With regard to hiatal hernia repair, its role has yet to be dete...
