Background
In cataract surgery, polishing of the posterior capsule (PC) can lead to improved surgical outcomes but is currently avoided due to its high‐risk nature. This work developed a robotic system capable of performing PC polishing on ex vivo pig eyes using optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance.
Methods
The lenses of five ex vivo pig eyes were extracted and a thin layer of glue deposited...
Background
Optical tracking systems (OTSs) are essential components of many modern computer assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS) systems but patient movement is often neglected in the evaluation of the accuracy. The aim of this study was to develop a representative test to assess the accuracy of OTSs including patient movement and demonstrate the effect of pointer design and OTS choice.
Method
A...
Background
Over the last decades conventional cochlear implant (CI) surgery has remained essentially unchanged. Nevertheless, alternative implantation techniques to further improve patient outcomes such as endaural implantation or robot‐assisted surgery have been proposed in recent years. However, none of these have gained acceptance in clinical routine, thus confirming a demand for new developments...
Background
Insulinomas are rare insulin‐producing pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours leading to severe episodes of hypoglycaemia. Surgery is the predominant curative therapy.
Methods
We report here the first paediatric case of an insulinoma of the pancreatic body resected completely robotically under ultrasound guidance in a 10‐year‐old male with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. The port set‐up...
