[Clinical research on robot-assisted percutaneous pelvic and acetabular screws surgery].

Beijing da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Peking University. Health sciences
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the security and efficiency of a surgical robotic assisted percutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic and acetabular fractures.

Telesurgery With Miniature Robots to Leverage Surgical Expertise in Distributed Expeditionary Environments.

Military medicine
UNLABELLED: This study aimed to evaluate the capability of performing telesurgery via radio transmission for military arenas where wired internet connections may not be practical. Most existing robotic surgery systems are too large to effectively dep...

Cadaveric Testing of Robot-Assisted Access to the Internal Auditory Canal for Vestibular Schwannoma Removal.

Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology
HYPOTHESIS: An image-guided robotic system can safely perform the bulk removal of bone during the translabyrinthine approach to vestibular schwannoma (VS).

Robot-assistant for MRI-guided liver ablation: A pilot study.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Percutaneous ablation under MRI-guidance allows treating otherwise inoperable liver tumors locally using a catheter probe. However, manually placing the probe is an error-prone and time consuming task that requires a considerable amount of t...

Patient-specific instrumentation improves the accuracy of acetabular component placement in total hip arthroplasty.

The bone & joint journal
AIMS: Accurate placement of the acetabular component during total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an important factor in the success of the procedure. However, the reported accuracy varies greatly and is dependent upon whether free hand or navigated techni...

Design and validation of an MR-conditional robot for transcranial focused ultrasound surgery in infants.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Current treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) involves cerebral shunt placement or an invasive brain surgery. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) applied to the brains of pediatric patients presents an opportunity ...

Non-invasive optical imaging techniques for burn-injured tissue detection for debridement surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Burn debridement is a challenging technique that requires significant skill to identify regions requiring excision and appropriate excision depth. A machine learning tool is being developed in order to assist surgeons by providing a quantitative asse...

Navigation of a robot-integrated fluorescence laparoscope in preoperative SPECT/CT and intraoperative freehand SPECT imaging data: a phantom study.

Journal of biomedical optics
Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is becoming an established technique for prostatectomy and is increasingly being explored for other types of cancer. Linking intraoperative imaging techniques, such as fluorescence guidance, with the three-dimensio...

Body-mounted robotic instrument guide for image-guided cryotherapy of renal cancer.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Image-guided cryotherapy of renal cancer is an emerging alternative to surgical nephrectomy, particularly for those who cannot sustain the physical burden of surgery. It is well known that the outcome of this therapy depends on the accurate ...

Evaluation of Network-Based Minimally Invasive VR Surgery Simulator.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this paper, we report a result of an experiment of a field trial of our network-based minimally invasive surgery simulator. In our previous paper, we proposed a network-based visuohaptic surgery training system for laparoscopic surgery. In additio...
