PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to provide a simple, feasible and effective patient-to-image registration method for robot-assisted long bone osteotomy, which has rarely been systematically reported. The practical requirement is to meet the acc...
BACKGROUND: Appropriate tissue tension and clear visibility of the dissection area using traction are essential for effective and safe endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We developed a robotic assistive traction device for flexible endoscopy and...
Bone milling is one of the most widely used and high-risk procedures in various types of surgeries, and it is important to be noted that the experienced surgeon can perform such an operation safely. The objective of this article is to enhance the saf...
African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes a highly contagious and severe hemorrhagic viral disease with high mortality in domestic pigs of all ages. Although the virus is harmless to humans, the ongoing ASFV epidemic could have severe economic conseque...
BACKGROUND: Within surgery, assistive robotic devices (ARD) have reported improved patient outcomes. ARD can offer the surgical team a "third hand" to perform wider tasks and more degrees of motion in comparison with conventional laparoscopy. We test...
