First prospective clinical assessment of the ILY robotic flexible ureteroscopy platform.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: To present the initial prospective clinical assessment of the ILY robotic ureteroscopy manipulator platform, focusing on its safety and effectiveness.

Technical Aspects and Clinical Outcomes of Robotic Ureteroscopy: Is It Ready for Primetime?

Current urology reports
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Robotic surgery in urology has already been widely employed in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for minimally invasive procedures (MIS). We wanted to analyse rapidly developing robotic ureteroscopy (RoboURS) for the treatment ...

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction and renal calculi: Simultaneous treatment by robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty and transcutaneous retrograde flexible ureteroscopy. Technique description and early outcomes.

Progres en urologie : journal de l'Association francaise d'urologie et de la Societe francaise d'urologie
BACKGROUND: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and renal calculi are associated in 20 to 30% of cases and treatment is mandatory. The simultaneous surgical management is a therapeutic challenge that is still a source of controversy. We describ...

Design and experiment of a 3-DoF master device with a 2-DoF parallel mechanism for flexible ureteroscopy.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Traditional commercial master devices and specialied serial master devices meet insufficient workspace, low intuitiveness, low stiffness, and poor accuracy during master-slave mapping for robot-assisted flexible ureteroscopy (FURS).

Safety enhanced surgical robot for flexible ureteroscopy based on force feedback.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Although some robotic systems have been developed to improve conventional flexible ureteroscopy (FURS), a widely used intervention in urology, these robots rarely have a comprehensive force feedback function which is important for master-...

Robot-Assisted Mini-Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery for Complex and Multiple Calculi: What Are the Real Advantages?

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
To determine the stone-free rates (SFR) with robot-assisted mini-endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (mini-ECIRS) and evaluate the impact of intraoperative assessment of stone-free status compared to postoperative non-contrast computed tomography...

Image Enhancement Model Based on Deep Learning Applied to the Ureteroscopic Diagnosis of Ureteral Stones during Pregnancy.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
OBJECTIVE: To explore the image enhancement model based on deep learning on the effect of ureteroscopy with double J tube placement and drainage on ureteral stones during pregnancy. We compare the clinical effect of ureteroscopy with double J tube pl...

Using spatial-temporal ensembles of convolutional neural networks for lumen segmentation in ureteroscopy.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Ureteroscopy is an efficient endoscopic minimally invasive technique for the diagnosis and treatment of upper tract urothelial carcinoma. During ureteroscopy, the automatic segmentation of the hollow lumen is of primary importance, since it ...

Endoscopic-assisted robotic pyelolithotomy: a viable treatment option for complex pediatric nephrolithiasis.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Endourological and percutaneous approaches are the standard of care for treatment of pediatric urolithiasis. However, in certain situations, an endoscopic-assisted robotic pyelolithotomy (EARP) can be an acceptable alterna...
