Securing Mesh with Delayed Absorbable Suture Does Not Increase Risk of Prolapse Recurrence After Robotic Sacral Colpopexy.

Journal of endourology
Nonabsorbable monofilament suture is traditionally used to secure vaginal mesh for robot-assisted sacral colpopexy (RASC) but can become exposed postoperatively requiring invasive vaginal removal. Polydioxanone delayed absorbable suture may avoid th...

Towards near real-time assessment of surgical skills: A comparison of feature extraction techniques.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Surgical skill assessment aims to objectively evaluate and provide constructive feedback for trainee surgeons. Conventional methods require direct observation with assessment from surgical experts which are both unscalable a...

Surgical skill levels: Classification and analysis using deep neural network model and motion signals.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Currently, the assessment of surgical skills relies primarily on the observations of expert surgeons. This may be time-consuming, non-scalable, inconsistent and subjective. Therefore, an automated system that can objectivel...

Automated robot-assisted surgical skill evaluation: Predictive analytics approach.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Surgical skill assessment has predominantly been a subjective task. Recently, technological advances such as robot-assisted surgery have created great opportunities for objective surgical evaluation. In this paper, we introduce a predicti...

Mastery Learning - does the method of learning make a difference in skills acquisition for robotic surgery?

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Few studies compare the effectiveness of blocked vs random practice conditions in minimally invasive surgery training, and none have evaluated these in robotic surgery training.

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...

External Iliac Vein Injury and Repair During Robotic-assisted Pelvic Lymphadenectomy.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate a surgical video wherein an incidental external iliac vein injury was encountered and repaired robotically during a pelvic lymphadenectomy procedure.
