Early Experience of Robot-Assisted Esophagectomy With Circular End-to-End Stapled Anastomosis.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
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...

Is a robotic system really better than the three-dimensional laparoscopic system in terms of suturing performance?: comparison among operators with different levels of experience.

Surgical endoscopy
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...

Robot-Assisted Ureteral Reconstruction Using Buccal Mucosa.

Urology
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.

Improving microsurgical suture training with automated phase recognition and skill assessment via deep learning.

Computers in biology and medicine
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...

Surgical Suturing Skill Assessment Using Estimated Hand Roll Angle from a Deep-learning Computer Vision Algorithm.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper proposes a deep-learning computer vision algorithm to estimate hand roll angles for metric-based assessment of surgical suturing skills. The number of rolls metric, previously calculated directly from IMU data, counts the number of hand ro...

Z-shaped running suture for outer layer renorrhaphy during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.

Minerva urology and nephrology
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to describe a novel outer layer renorrhaphy strategy during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.

A Novel Microsurgical Robot: Preliminary Feasibility Test in Ophthalmic Field.

Translational vision science & technology
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...

Technical Skill Impacts the Success of Sequential Robotic Suturing Substeps.

Journal of endourology
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 ...

Technical details of the hand-sewn and circular-stapled anastomosis in robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy.

Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
The circular mechanical and hand-sewn intrathoracic anastomosis are most often used in robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE). The aim of this study was to describe the technical details of both techniques that were pioneered in two ...
