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...
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...
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...
An autonomous robotic laparoscopic surgical technique is capable of tracking tissue motion and offers consistency in suturing for the anastomosis of the small bowel.
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 ...
Robotic surgical performance, in particular suturing, has been associated with postoperative clinical outcomes. Suturing can be deconstructed into components (, , , and ) allowing for the provision of more specific feedback while teaching suturing ...
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...
PURPOSE: This study investigated the feasibility and potential advantage of using a new microsurgical teleoperated robot, Symani Surgical System, in the ophthalmology field. In particular, considering the extreme precision of the system and the dexte...
This paper introduces a new dataset of a surgical knot-tying task, and a multi-modal deep learning model that achieves comparable performance to expert human raters on this skill assessment task. Seventy-two surgical trainees and faculty were recruit...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) represents the most feared complication after distal pancreatectomy, and the possible role of robotic assistance in this setting is poorly investigated so far.
