New Robotic System with Wristed Microinstruments Allows Precise Reconstructive Microsurgery: Preclinical Study.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Microsurgery allows complex reconstruction of tissue defects after oncological resections or severe trauma. Performing these procedures may be limited by human tremor, precision, and manual dexterity. A new robot designed specifically for...

Endoscopic surgery suturing techniques: a randomized study on learning.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Surgeons have widely adopted endoscopic suturing techniques using conventional laparoscopic instruments and the more advanced robotic systems. The FlexDex is a novel articulating laparoscopic needle driver providing enhanced dexterity in ...

Autonomous robotic surgery makes light work of anastomosis.

Science robotics
An autonomous robotic laparoscopic surgical technique is capable of tracking tissue motion and offers consistency in suturing for the anastomosis of the small bowel.

Alimentary tract obstruction attributed to use of barbed suture for double tract reconstruction after robot-assisted proximal gastrectomy: a case report.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Anastomotic stenosis following esophagojejunostomy reconstruction by the overlap method with absorbable barbed sutures occurs only rarely in patients who have undergone laparoscopic surgery. We report anastomotic stenosis by the overlap m...

Smart surgical sutures using soft artificial muscles.

Scientific reports
Wound closure with surgical sutures is a critical challenge for flexible endoscopic surgeries. Substantial efforts have been introduced to develop functional and smart surgical sutures to either monitor wound conditions or ease the complexity of knot...

A Transabdominal Robotic Purse-String Suture Technique for Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is a novel technique that overcomes the problem of access to the deep pelvis during radical surgery for mid-rectal and lower rectal cancer. Although TaTME has several important steps, the creation of the d...

Machine learning analyses of automated performance metrics during granular sub-stitch phases predict surgeon experience.

Surgery
Automated performance metrics objectively measure surgeon performance during a robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Machine learning has demonstrated that automated performance metrics, especially during the vesico-urethral anastomosis of the robot-...

A study on autonomous suturing task assignment in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Sutures are a set of standard actions which are accomplished by multi-instruments, researchers studied the robot autonomy of suturing, which was based on movement planning completed by a single instrument, but did not consider the assignm...

Deep learning-based computer vision to recognize and classify suturing gestures in robot-assisted surgery.

Surgery
BACKGROUND: Our previous work classified a taxonomy of suturing gestures during a vesicourethral anastomosis of robotic radical prostatectomy in association with tissue tears and patient outcomes. Herein, we train deep learning-based computer vision ...
