Objective
To evaluate fertility after robot‐assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) in terms of pregnancy rates, and obstetrical outcomes.
Patients
This is a retrospective cohort of RALM performed for symptomatic leiomyomas among women who want to conceive. Medical data were retrospectively reviewed. An office hysteroscopy was prescribed 3 months after the surgery.
Results
Fifty‐three patients...
Background
Although many techniques are used to treat the acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations, minimal invasive or arthroscopic coracoclavicular ligament reconstructions became popular recently. In this study, authors compared the biomechanical results of double versus triple button reconstruction techniques.
Methods
Three‐dimensional solid modeling of the shoulder girdle was carried out...
Background
Manipulation of the endoscope during minimally invasive surgery is a major source of inconvenience and discomfort. This report elucidates the architecture of a novel one‐hand controlled endoscope positioning device and presents a practicability evaluation.
Methods and materials
Setup time and total surgery time, number and duration of the manipulations, side effects of three‐dimensional...
Background
Haptic devices with active translation and orientation outputs are highly preferred in surgical teleoperation. However, commercial products are expensive, while state‐of‐the‐art research prototypes are difficult to reproduce outside the original laboratories.
Methods
This paper presents the design and experimental characterizations of two styluses for the CombX, a haptic device with...
Background
Electromagnetic (EM)‐based navigation methods without line‐of‐sight restrictions may improve lymph node sampling precision in transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) procedure. However, EM tracking susceptibility to metallic objects severely declines its precision.
Method
We proposed to track the location of a tool in a dynamic bronchial phantom and compensate field distortion in a real‐time...
Background
To introduce a hybrid robotic single‐site myomectomy (H‐RSSM) technique that includes laparoscopic single‐site myoma excision followed by robotic single‐site suture and compare its surgical outcomes with those of conventional robotic single‐site myomectomy (RSSM) using the da Vinci Si surgical system.
Methods
Medical records of 89 consecutive women who underwent H‐RSSM and 131 consecutive...
Background
Fixation with a single screw is the recommended treatment for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Achieving optimal implant positioning can be difficult owing to the complex geometry of the proximal femur in SCFE. We assessed a novel navigation technology incorporating an inertial measurement unit to facilitate implant placement in an SCFE model.
Methods
Guidewires were placed...
Background
Introduction of the da Vinci Xi system has facilitated the use of robotics in colorectal surgery. Nevertheless, data on the outcomes of robotic surgery for the treatment of colonic diverticulitis have remained scarce.
Methods
Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and perioperative outcomes of the patients undergoing totally robotic with the da Vinci Xi system or laparoscopic...
Objectives
The objective of this study was to provide the generalized methodology for design and development of a customized implant and customized surgical osteotomy guide (CSOG) for precise mandibular tumor resection and placement of a customized implant in ablative tumor surgery for accurate mandibular reconstruction.
Methods
Medical imaging technique, image processing, virtual surgical planning...
Background
In the emerging field of robot‐assisted spine surgery, radiographic evaluation of pedicle screw accuracy in the surgical setting is of high interest. Advances in medical imaging have improved the accuracy of pedicle screw placement, from fluoroscopy‐guided to computer‐aided navigation.
Methods
A retrospective, institutional review board–exempt review of the first 106 navigated robot‐assisted...
Background
Since the introduction of robot‐assisted laparoscopic surgery, a variety of conventional laparoscopic procedures have been explored via this approach. In the robotic era, most of the reported robot‐assisted laparoscopic hernia repairs were performed with the trans‐abdominal pre‐peritoneal approach. According to the evidence extrapolated from laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, simultaneous...
Background
Intelligent surgical robot has great significance to alleviate the fatigue of surgeons. In the minimally invasive surgery robot system, adding intelligent control method to the laparoscope control has great realizability and significance.
Methods
Depth independent image Jacobian matrix was modified to make it suitable for laparoscope trocar constraint. We propose a method for intelligent...
Purpose
To evaluate and compare the feasibility and short‐term results of laparoscopic and robotic total oesophago‐gastric dissociation (TOGD) with a Roux‐en‐Y oesophago‐jejunostomy. Minimal invasive surgery has multiple advantages in neurologically impaired patients. Robotic approach has overcome disadvantages linked to laparoscopy, in particular, referring to the surgeon fatigue.
Methods
A retrospective...
Background
Clinically, irregular protrusions and blockages after stent deployment can lead to significant adverse outcomes such as thrombotic reocclusion or restenosis. In this study, we propose a novel fully automated method for irregular lumen segmentation and normal/abnormal lumen classification.
Methods
The proposed method consists of a lumen segmentation, feature extraction, and lumen classification...
Background
The tendon‐sheath mechanism provides flexibility but degrades the task performance of the flexible endoscopic robot because of the inherent backlash hysteresis problem. Previous studies have only focused on reducing backlash hysteresis. The goal of this study is to identify the backlash hysteresis criteria of surgical tool bending joints to maintain efficient surgical performance.
Methods...
Background
Renal tumor scoring systems, such as the contact surface area value, aim to assist in predicting outcomes following robotic‐assisted partial nephrectomy. The aim of this study is to identify associations between specific postoperative outcomes and the contact surface area of renal masses.
Methods
We analyzed 332 consecutive robotic‐assisted partial nephrectomies and calculated contact...
Background
Despite its high lesion accessibility and versatility, endoscopic platforms have suffered from designing flexible manipulators with high payload capability sufficient to perform advanced endoscopic procedures.
Methods
A flexible robotic platform, K‐FLEX, has been developed with a design of 17 mm in overall diameter. To overcome the shape distortion and deflection in payload handling,...
Introduction
Laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection (APR) for low rectal cancers is technically demanding. Robotic assistance may be of help and can be hybrid (HAPR) or totally robotic (RAPR). The present study describes outcomes of robotic APR and compares both approaches.
Material and methods
A multicentric retrospective analysis of rectal cancer patients undergoing either HAPR or RAPR was conducted...
Background
Radical resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma is considered one of the most complicated abdominal operations. We report our initial experience with robotic radical resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Methods
Between March 2017 and February 2019, the perioperative outcomes of 48 patients were analysed. In addition, there were two techniques for hepaticojejunostomy in the robotic...
