OBJECTIVES: This study aims to discuss the availability of robot-assisted percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and share our preliminary experiences.
PURPOSE: The advantages of robot-assisted rectal surgery (RARS) over conventional laparoscope-assisted rectal surgery (LARS) remain controversial. This study was performed to compare the short-term outcomes of RARS and LARS.
Robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy has been proven to effectively improve upper-limb motor function in stroke patients. However, most current rehabilitation robotic controllers will provide too much assistance force and focus only on the patient's...
BACKGROUND: For locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), accurate response evaluation is necessary to select complete responders after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for a watch-and-wait (W&W) strategy. Algorithms based on deep learning have shown great val...

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted valve surgery represents the latest development in the field of minimally invasive approaches. Robotic assistance may provide greater visualization, enhanced dexterity, and greater precision than traditional mini-thoracotom...
Robot-assisted VVF (RA-VVF) repair has the advantage of small cystotomy, precise dissection and minimal surrounding tissue trauma. Translation of this to better functional outcomes is not studied so far. This study aims to evaluate the quality of lif...
The da Vinci Vessel Sealer is a major contributor to the total cost of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). We aimed to assess whether the use of the Vessel Sealer is associated with better surgical outcomes in a population of patients t...
THE OBJECTIVE: This study aims to propose a new model to predict the specific treatment effectiveness at site level by analyzing massive amounts of periodontal clinical data with deep learning methods.
