This preliminary retrospective cohort study aims to compare the efficacy of percutaneous lung biopsy using a patient-mounted needle-driving robotic system or a manual insertion of needles under comput...
User-friendly robotic assistance and image-guided tools have been developed in the past decades for intraparenchymal brain lesion biopsy. These two methods are gradually becoming well accepted and are...
Population-based parallel cohorts were followed from two French university hospitals with different surgical methods and defined geographical catchment regions (September 2019 to September 2022). In c...
Two hundred fifty patients were included: 131 frameless robot-assisted stereotactic intraparenchymal brain lesion biopsies in center A and 119 image-guided biopsies in center B. The clinical, radiolog...
In our bicentric comparative study, robot-assisted stereotactic and image-guided biopsies have two main differences (shorter time but more frequent postoperative hematoma for image-guided biopsies); h...
The robotic-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer (EC) is becoming increasingly important, owing to the superior surgical outcomes. However, efficacy data from India is limited, particularly for old...
Comparing the safety and efficacy of single-port (SP) versus multi-port (MP) robotic-assisted techniques in urological surgeries....
A systematic review and cumulative meta-analysis was performed using PRISMA criteria for primary outcomes of interest, and quality assessment followed AMSTAR. Four databases were systematically search...
There were 17 studies involving 5015 patients. In urological surgeries, single-port robotics had shorter length of stay (WMD = - 0.63, 95% Cl [- 1.06, - 0.21], P < 0.05), less estimated blood loss (WM...
Single-port robotics appears to have similar perioperative outcomes to multi-port robotics in urological surgery. In radical prostatectomy, single-port robotics has shown some advantages, but the spec...
Splenic vessel-preserving spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SVP-SPDP) has a lower risk of splenic infarction than the splenicvessel-sacrificing SPDP, but it is more technically demanding. Learn...
Seventy-four patients who were intended to receive RSVP-SPDP at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between May 2015 and January 2023 were included. The learning curve were retrosp...
Sixty-two patients underwent RSVP-SPDP (spleen preservation rate: 83.8%). According to CUSUM curve, the operation time (median, 318 vs. 220 min; P < 0.001) and intraoperative blood loss (median, 50 vs...
RSVP-SPDP was a safe and feasible approach for selected patients after learning curve. The improvement of operation time and intraoperative blood loss was achieved after 16 cases....
Upper limb dysfunction after stroke seriously affects quality of life. Bilateral training has proven helpful in recovery of upper limb motor function in these patients. However, studies evaluating the...
24 stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into a conventional training (CT, n = 12) group or a bilateral upper limb robot-assisted training (BRT, n = 12) group. All patients received 60...
Significant (p < 0.05) within-group differences were found in FMA-UE and MBI scores for both groups after treatment. A between-group comparison indicated the MBI score of the BRT group was significant...
BRT outperformed CT in improving ADL in stroke patients within three months, and BRT facilitates the recovery of upper limb function by enhancing functional connectivity of the bilateral cerebral hemi...
Retromuscular sublay (RMS) technique for repair of ventral hernias has gained popularity due to lower risk of recurrence and wound complications. Robotic approaches to RMS have been shown to decrease ...
A retrospective review of elective robotic and open RMS repairs in the ACHQC database was performed. Patients deemed to be high-risk for wound complications were included: adult patients with BMI grea...
A total of 917 patients met inclusion criteria. After propensity score matching, 211 patients matched for each approach. There was no difference in overall SSO (18% for Open vs 23% for Robotic, p = 0....
In this analysis, a robotic approach was associated with decreased rates of SSI and SSOPI in obese patients who were either current smokers or diabetics. In effort to reduce wound morbidity and the as...
This paper formulates an innovative model-free self-organizing weight adaptation that strengthens the robustness of a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) for inverted pendulum-like mechatronic systems ag...
More recently, soft actuators have evoked great interest in the next generation of soft robots. Despite significant progress, the majority of current soft actuators suffer from the lack of real-time s...
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an adenocarcinoma of the renal cortex. Radical nephrectomy remains the standard of care for managing massive renal tumours. Robotic-assisted radical nephrectomy is an inc...
