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 ...

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...

SD-Net: joint surgical gesture recognition and skill assessment.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Surgical gesture recognition has been an essential task for providing intraoperative context-aware assistance and scheduling clinical resources. However, previous methods present limitations in catching long-range temporal information, and m...

Road to automating robotic suturing skills assessment: Battling mislabeling of the ground truth.

Surgery
OBJECTIVE: To automate surgeon skills evaluation using robotic instrument kinematic data. Additionally, to implement an unsupervised mislabeling detection algorithm to identify potentially mislabeled samples that can be removed to improve model perfo...

Endoscopic Image-Based Skill Assessment in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Objective skill assessment-based personal performance feedback is a vital part of surgical training. Either kinematic-acquired through surgical robotic systems, mounted sensors on tooltips or wearable sensors-or visual input data can be employed to p...

See Like an Expert: Gaze-Augmented Training Enhances Skill Acquisition in a Virtual Reality Robotic Suturing Task.

Journal of endourology
The da Vinci Skills Simulator (DVSS) is an effective platform for robotic skills training. Novel training methods using expert gaze patterns to guide trainees have demonstrated superiority to traditional instruction. Portable head-mounted eye-tracke...

Vision-Based Suture Tensile Force Estimation in Robotic Surgery.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Compared to laparoscopy, robotics-assisted minimally invasive surgery has the problem of an absence of force feedback, which is important to prevent a breakage of the suture. To overcome this problem, surgeons infer the suture force from their propri...

Robot-assisted Transvaginal Single-site Sacrocolpopexy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate stepwise techniques for the successful use of the laparoscopic single-site technique for safely performing transvaginal sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse.

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...
