PURPOSE: Robot-assisted vitreoretinal surgery provides precise and consistent operations on the back of the eye. To perform this safely, knowledge of the surgical instrument's remote centre of motion (RCM) and the location of the insertion point into...
BACKGROUND: To compare the difference of short-term curative effect between the use of Maryland forceps (MF) and electrocoagulation hooks (EH) in da Vinci robot-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal tumor resection.

BACKGROUND: Transition from the utilisation of traditional instruments to new robotic methodologies in surgical operations occurs rapidly. Although the implementation of these methodologies to classical surgery operations is advantageous due to incre...
Formalizing surgical activities as triplets of the used instruments, actions performed, and target anatomies is becoming a gold standard approach for surgical activity modeling. The benefit is that this formalization helps to obtain a more detailed u...
BACKGROUND: Direct optical trocar insertion is a common procedure in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. However, misinterpretations of the abdominal wall anatomy can lead to severe complications. Artificial intelligence has shown promise in sur...
BACKGROUND: Using robots to handle medical devices in the decontamination area of the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) can reduce risks and address staff shortages. The gripper design must allow reliable cleaning using standard CSSD procedure...
Computer-assisted cognition guidance for surgical robotics by computer vision is a potential future outcome, which could facilitate the surgery for both operation accuracy and autonomy level. In this paper, multiple-object segmentation and feature ex...
BACKGROUND: Currently, widely used robotic surgical systems do not provide force feedback. This study aimed to evaluate the impact and benefits of a force feedback function on the suturing procedure.
