Background
Robot‐assisted surgery can effectively reduce the difficulty and improve the success rate of the surgeries. However, currently available flexible instruments have several limitations, such as large size, few degrees of freedom, and lack of contact force perception.
Methods
This study proposes a master‐slave flexible instrument capable of force feedback. The instrument has a maximum outer...
Background
How to precisely protect and preserve anterior and posterior vagal trunks and all their branches during the procedure of splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection is studied rarely. We firstly developed a vagus nerve‐guided robotic‐assisted laparoscopic splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection (VGRSD). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether VGRSD is feasible and safe and to determine...
