Most robotic camera steering devices (RCSDs) require active steering by the surgeon and necessarily increase workload. Clinical experience shows that standard laparoscopic procedures can be performed safely as solo surgery aided by RCSDs. No evidenc...
Robot-assisted cardiovascular surgery is used to avoid surgeon suffering from X-ray radiation and relieve fatigue caused by long-time standing wearing protective clothing. Its remote surgery can alleviate the lack of experienced doctors in remote are...

BACKGROUND: Ergonomics, as defined by the optimization of one's physical environment to enhance work performance, is an important consideration in surgery. While there have been reviews on the ergonomics of laparoscopy, this has not been the case for...
Surgeons perform two primary tasks: operating and engaging patients and caregivers in shared decision-making. Human dexterity and decision-making are biologically limited. Intelligent, autonomous machines have the potential to augment or replace surg...
The progress of robotic medicine leads to the emergence of an increasing number of highly specialized automated systems based on specialized software. In any such system, there is the task of translating the surgeon's requests into the process of aut...
BACKGROUND: Several authors claimed that the Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) needs a prolonged learning curve, and outcomes during this phase could be suboptimal.
