Background
We describe the technical operative details of the robotic repair of a type II endoleak (T2E) following endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). We demonstrate that indocyanine green (ICG) can be used intra‐operatively to demonstrate perfusion of the colon following ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) vessel feeding the aneurysm sac.
Methods
A 74‐year old male...
Background
Flexible systems in robotic transanal surgery (RTA) are a proposed solution to the challenges of transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS). RTA was performed with the Medrobotics Flex® Robotics System to determine its safety and feasibility.
Methods
Medrobotics Flex® Robotics System was used for transanal resection of benign rectal polyps by a single surgeon in a tertiary centre,...
Background
The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness, safety and stability of the 5G communication technology in clinical laparoscopic telesurgery.
Methods
An ultra‐remote radical cystectomy (network communication distance of nearly 3000 km) was performed on patient diagnosed with T2N0M0 stage bladder cancer using a domestically produced “MicroHand” surgical robot.
Results
The network...
Background
Detecting neural threats using electromyography (EMG) has gained recognition in the field of spinal surgery. To provide an efficient approach to detect neural threats during the operation of the spinal surgery robot, an automated method based the internal connection between EMG signal and neural proximity (NP) was explored by experiments.
Methods
A NP classifier was designed to distinguish...
Background
The robotic Heller‐Dor (RHD) procedure for oesophageal achalasia (EA) is safe and effective. We aim to evaluate the intraoperative use of fluorescence imaging, as an alternative means to intraoperative endoscopy, to assess myotomy at the end of the procedure.
Methods
Thirty‐four patients affected with EA underwent RHD. The myotomy was assessed intraoperatively by endoscopy in group A...
Purpose
The scope of the work is to present the state of the art of robotically assisted surgical systems and to give a general idea about how technology can help today and tomorrow robotic surgery. The road to innovation passes through research and on field trials; for this reason, not only commercial surgery robots, but also innovative prototype robots, proposed by the Academic world, are presented...
Background
Long operation time remains a disadvantage of robotic‐assisted gynaecological procedures. A score that predicts the duration of such surgeries could be useful.
Methods
A retrospective analysis of robotic‐assisted gynaecological surgeries in our institution were conducted. We assessed preoperative values such as body mass index, uterine size, previous abdominal surgeries, way of previous...
Background
The wireless power transfer system (WPTS) is a promising way to continuously provide efficient and stable power for gastrointestinal capsule robots with active movement ability.
Methods
The proposed WPTS using an optimised planar square spiral transmitting coil pair with space‐saving structure can flexibly adjust the distance between the coils according to the patient's condition, and...
Background
Minimally invasive robot‐assisted techniques are being used increasingly in surgical procedures, and the preoperative preparation for this kind of operation is more complicated than traditional operations.
Method
Taking the placement requirements of minimally invasive thyroid surgery as the research object, taking the kinematic performance and safety of the manipulator as the optimization...
Background
Commercialised laparoscopic surgical robotic systems require a large operating room and can only be used in large hospitals. If the robotic system is to be used in a small‐ or medium‐sized hospital, the occupied volume must be reduced further.
Methods
In this paper, we propose a bed‐mounted system that can be installed in a general operating room. Furthermore, we proposed a novel positioning...
Background
Recognition of markers in the augmented reality system can reduce the additional cost of a guide plate required for the removal of benign tumours in oral and maxillofacial surgery, but the use of markers often has complex problems.
Method
In order to avoid the complex problem of using markers, an augmented reality system based on a marker‐free registration method was proposed to track...
Puncture robot can improve the accuracy and efficiency of puncture surgery, such as thoracoabdominal and liver puncture. However, as soft tissue is deformed and shifted under respiratory motion and during the puncture process, the needle is pulled, resulting in the needle's bending and deformation, which increases the risks and sufferings of the patient, a robotic puncture system with optical and...
Objective
To report our contemporary experience with robotic‐assisted partial cystectomy (RAPC) for muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Methods
This is a retrospective review of patients who underwent robotic‐assisted partial cystectomy with us between 2013 and 2020 and provided ≥12 months of follow up.
Results and limitations
The median operative time for our 35 patients was 190 min (Interquartile...
Background
Costs and a low total number of cases may be obstacles to the successful implementation of a paediatric robotic surgery programme. The aim of this study was to evaluate a decade of paediatric robotic surgery and to reflect upon factors for success and to consider obstacles.
Materials and Methods
All children operated on with robotic‐assisted laparoscopic surgery between 2006 and 2016...
Background
Oral and maxillofacial surgery demands high precision navigation to achieve optimal surgical outcomes. Augmented reality (AR) has been a promising solution for intuitive and accurate guidance, whereas existing systems have room for improvement.
Methods
We propose a high quality and accurate in situ AR navigation system. Enhanced image quality is achieved by deploying eye tracking in...
Background
The master manipulator with position and posture decoupling and force feedback can improve the immersion of the operation, and the gravity balance can reduce the fatigue of surgeons.
Methods
A seven degree of freedom master manipulator is developed. The parallelogram structure and the angle conversion method contribute to the realization of decoupling position and posture. The calculating...
Background
In a single‐port robotic system where the 3D endoscope possesses two bending segments, only point light sources can be integrated at the tip due to space limitations. However, point light sources usually provide non‐uniform illumination, causing the endoscopic images to appear bright in the centre and dark near the corners.
Methods
Based on the inverse square law for illuminance, an...

Robotic‐assisted cardiovascular interventional surgery is an effective means to reduce the exposure of X‐ray radiation to surgeons. However, some of the existing design structures cannot meet the surgical requirements for the coordinated delivery of multiple instruments or lack force sensing function.
