Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) progressively impairs gait function, resulting in the need for patients to use a wheelchair approximately 20 years after onset. No reports have investigated t...
The medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA) has been recognized as an excellent treatment for medial knee osteoarthritis. The posterior tibial slope (PTS) is measured radiographically with th...
Evaluate the PTS difference between the sagittal TMA and the sagittal IMA of patients undergoing a CT-based primary Robotic-Assisted mUKA....
We retrospectively reviewed the preoperative CT scans taken according to the MAKO system protocol (Stryker) of 67 patients undergoing mUKAs. We measured the angular difference between the IM and the T...
Using the TMA to set the PTS the estimation of the slope of the medial tibial plateau would increase by an average of 1.9° ± 3.2° compared to the IMA. Furthermore, in 9 knees, PTS was decreased....
Tibial components implanted with the help of a CT scan-based pre-operative planning MAKO will show an average of 1.9 degrees more than those measured on sagittal radiographs potentially of concern for...
Comparative outcomes of robotic low anterior resection (rTME) and trans-anal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) in patients with low rectal cancer were evaluated....
A systematic online search was conducted using the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane database, The Virtual Health Library, Clinical trials.gov and Science Direct. Comparative studies of rT...
A total of 12 studies with a total number of 3025 patients divided between rTME (n = 1881) and TaTME (n = 1144) groups were included. There was no significant difference between the two groups for tot...
Compared with TaTME, rTME seems to provide better functional outcomes, higher lymph node yield and more complete TME resections with a similar post-operative complications profile....
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social communication, social interaction, and restricted behaviors. The importance of early inte...
We developed a training protocol using the humanoid robot NAO, called IOGIOCO (Interactive mirroring Games wIth sOCial rObot), based on the use of intransitive gestures embedded in naturalistic dialog...
We demonstrated the tolerability of the protocol. We found that one group (n=4, males and 2 females) reached the training level, while another and group (n=6 males) remained at a familiarization level...
While current results will need a Randomized Controlled Trial to be confirmed, the present work sets an important milestone in using social robots for ASD treatment, aimed at impacting social and comm...
Surgical video review is an emerging tool for assessing patient outcomes, especially in complex surgeries such as robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). Assessing and measuring warm ischaemia time...
We evaluated 32 surgical video recordings from patients undergoing RAPN and measured WIT, ExcT, RecT and IntT with a stopwatch. Factors such as tumour characteristics and surgeon experience were also ...
We recorded a median WIT of 1,048 s (17 min and 28 s). The median of ExcT, RecT and IntT was 398 s (37.1% of WIT), 518 s (46.7% of WIT) and 180 s (16.2% of WIT), respectively. We found a significant c...
Tumour morphology influences all surgical times, and surgeon experience influences only ExcT. We observed a short RecT during RAPN though at the cost of increased ExcT, and we believe that improving s...
The influence of anatomical parameters on urinary continence (UC) after Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) remains uncharted. Our objective was to evaluate their associatio...
Robotic-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) was designed to improve implant position accuracy by providing surgeons with real-time intra-operative data to tailor the operation to the patient. Propo...
All patients who had undergone unilateral MAKO® ERAS Day Surgery TKA from August 2020 to July 2021 were prospectively followed up and matched to patients who underwent conventional ERAS Day Surgery TK...
42 patients underwent MAKO® ERAS Day surgery TKA and were matched to 42 patients who underwent conventional ERAS Day surgery TKA. The study found that despite the longer surgical duration, LOS was com...
ERAS Day Surgery protocol can significantly reduce the LOS of patient undergoing MAKO® Robotic-arm Assisted TKA, conferring cost savings and making it a valid option for patients....
Robotics has increased rates of minimally invasive surgery, with distinct advantages over open surgery. However, current commercially available robotic platforms have device and system issues that lim...
To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a novel miniaturized robotic assisted surgery device in colectomy....
Prospective, Investigational Device Exemption clinical study following the idea, development, exploration, assessment, and long-term follow-up (IDEAL) framework (Stage 2b, exploration)....
Three centers with high-volume robotic colorectal cases and surgeons....
Patients scheduled for a right or left colectomy for benign or malignant disease....
Colectomy with the novel miniaturized robotic assisted surgery device....
For safety, intraoperative and device-related adverse events and 30-day morbidity. For efficacy, successful completion of pre-defined procedural steps without conversion....
Thirty patients (13 female, 17 male) were analyzed. The mean age was 59.4 (SD 13.4) years. Seventy percent (n = 21) were overweight/obese and 53.3% (n = 16) had prior abdominal surgery. Forty percent ...
Single arm study, short-term follow-up....
This first clinical study of a novel miniaturized robotic-assisted surgery device along the IDEAL framework demonstrated it was safe and effective. Given this success, further assessment and long-term...
Although a trend of an improved alignment with robotic total hip arthroplasty (THA) over conventional methods has surfaced from recent series, it is unknown whether these results translate into meanin...
