PURPOSE: Accurate placement of the needle is critical in interventions like biopsies and regional anesthesia, during which incorrect needle insertion can lead to procedure failure and complications. Therefore, ultrasound guidance is widely used to im...
OBJECTIVE: We examined whether artificial intelligence (AI) used with the novel digital image enhancement system modalities (CLARA+CHROMA, SPECTRA A, and SPECTRA B) could distinguish the cholesteatoma matrix, cholesteatoma debris, and normal middle e...

Robotic assisted bronchoscopy represents a major turning point in bronchoscopic history. The management strategies to address significant airway bleeding in this "robotic era" are not well documented, and further guidance is required. We present a ca...
OBJECTIVE: Computer vision (CV) is a subset of artificial intelligence that performs computations on image or video data, permitting the quantitative analysis of visual information. Common CV tasks that may be relevant to surgeons include image class...

PURPOSE: Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) can partially replace X-ray guidance in minimally invasive procedures, reducing radiation in the OR. However, in this hybrid setting, EMT is disturbed by metallic distortion caused by the X-ray device. We plan ...
Computer-assisted surgery represents a relatively novel treatment option in total hip arthroplasty, which has been supported by the technological progress over the latest decades. Navigation and robotics enable increasing the precision of cup positio...
In this work, we developed and validated a computer method capable of robustly detecting drill breakthrough events and show the potential of deep learning-based acoustic sensing for surgical error prevention. Bone drilling is an essential part of ort...

PURPOSE: To achieve the desired alignment more accurately and improve postoperative outcomes, new techniques such as computer navigation (Navigation), patient-specific instruments (PSI) and surgical robots (Robot) are applied in Total Knee Arthroplas...
Urology has always been closely linked to technological progress. In the last few decades, we have witnessed increasing implementation of various technologies and innovations in subdisciplines of urology. While conventional laparoscopy is increasingl...
