Performance during seated balancing is often used to assess trunk neuromuscular control, including evaluating impairments in back pain populations. Balancing in less challenging environments allows for flexibility in control, which may not depend on ...
BACKGROUND: Common colorectal procedures that require access to all quadrants of the abdomen are subtotal colectomy (STC) and total proctocolectomy (TPC). These are frequently performed with a surgical robot, but multiquadrant operations have unique ...

BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that the total operative time of robot myomectomy (RM) is shorter than that of laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) in cases where numerous myomas are removed, due to the faster suturing time of the robotic system. To verify this,...
BACKGROUND: Elbow imaging is challenging with conventional multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), while cone-beam CT (CBCT) provides superior options. We compared intra-individually CBCT versus MDCT image quality in cadaveric elbows.
To assess the interest of a new sphincter preserving anastomosis technique for continence recovery after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). : We performed a monocentric single-operator study on 187 consecutive RALP. Patients w...
This paper describes the design and testing of a gripper developed for handling of delicate and flexible tissues during minimally invasive surgery. The device operates on the Bernoulli principle for generating hight-speed flow between the gripper and...
As an emerging artificial intelligence system, social robot could socially communicate and interact with human beings. Although this area is attracting more and more attention, limited research has tried to systematically summarize potential features...
