BACKGROUND: Surgical resection is a critical element in the treatment of esophageal cancer. Esophagectomy is technically challenging and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Efforts to reduce these rates have spurred the adoption of...
BACKGROUND: High-quality three-dimensional (3D) vision systems are now available for laparoscopic surgery and may improve surgical performance relative to two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopy. It is unclear whether 3D laparoscopy is superior to 3D roboti...
OBJECTIVE: To describe the technique of robotic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty as a minimally invasive alternative method of ureteral reconstruction for proximal or multifocal ureteral strictures not amenable to primary anastomosis.
Microsurgical suturing demands a high level of precision, skill, and extensive training to ensure success in delicate procedures. In this study, we created a deep-learning approach for automating phase recognition and skill assessment in microsurgica...

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...
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 ...
