Background
From traditional open surgery to laparoscopic surgery and robot‐assisted surgery, advances in robotics, machine learning, and imaging are pushing the surgical approach to‐wards better clinical outcomes. Pre‐clinical and clinical evidence suggests that automation may standardise techniques, increase efficiency, and reduce clinical complications.
Methods
A PRISMA‐guided search was conducted...
Background
Eye metrics provide insight into surgical behaviour allowing differentiation of performance, however have not been used in robotic surgery. This study explores eye metrics of robotic surgeons in training in simulated and real tissue environments.
Methods
Following the Fundamentals of Robotic Surgery (FRS), training curriculum novice robotic surgeons were trained to expert‐derived benchmark...
Background: Intraoperative ultrasound scanning induces deformation on the tissue in the absence of a feedback modality, which results in a 3D tumour reconstruction that is not directly representative of real anatomy.
Methods: A biomechanical model with different feedback modalities (haptic, visual, or auditory) was implemented in a simulation environment. A user study with 20 clinicians was performed...
Background
Recent studies have suggested that the use of robotic surgery for prostatectomy has been increasing, but characterization of the diffusion of robotic surgery in other procedures has not been available.
Methods
Data were analysed for the years 2006–2014 using hospital episode statistics (HES), a database of all admissions to National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in England. OPCS codes...
BackgroundSurgical image guidance systems to date have tended to rely on reconstructions of preoperative datasets. This paper assesses the accuracy of these reconstructions to establish whether they are appropriate for use in image guidance platforms.
MethodsNine raters (two experts in image interpretation and preparation, three in image interpretation, and four in neither interpretation nor preparation)...
BackgroundThe increasing demands of delivering higher quality global healthcare has resulted in a corresponding expansion in the development of computer‐based and robotic healthcare tools that rely on artificially intelligent technologies. The Turing test was designed to assess artificial intelligence (AI) in computer technology. It remains an important qualitative tool for testing the next generation...
BackgroundWith the development of novel augmented reality operating platforms the way surgeons utilise imaging as a real‐time adjunct to surgical technique is changing.
MethodsA questionnaire was distributed via the European Robotic Urological Society mailing list. The questionnaire had three themes: surgeon demographics, current use of imaging and potential uses of an augmented reality operating...
