BACKGROUND: With the popularization of robot-assisted spinal surgeries, it is still uncertain whether robots with different designs could lead to different results in the accuracy of pedicle screw placement. This study aimed to compare the pedicle sc...
Several barriers prevent the integration and adoption of augmented reality (AR) in robotic renal surgery despite the increased availability of virtual three-dimensional (3D) models. Apart from correct model alignment and deformation, not all instrume...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive vascular intervention (MIVI) is a powerful technique for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and aortic dissection (AD). Navigation of tradit...

PURPOSE: Bone tumours must be surgically excised in one piece with a margin of healthy tissue. The unique nature of each bone tumour case is well suited to the use of patient-specific implants, with additive manufacturing allowing production of highl...
In this paper, we investigate a motion-tracking system for robotic computer-assisted implant surgery. Failure of the accurate implant positioning may result in significant problems, thus an accurate real-time motion-tracking system is crucial for avo...
