MIcro-Surgical Anastomose Workflow recognition challenge report [PDF]
The "MIcro-Surgical Anastomose Workflow recognition on training sessions" (MISAW) challenge provided a data set of 27 sequences of micro-surgical anastomosis on artificial blood vessels. This data set was composed of videos, kinematics, and workflow annotations described at three different granularity levels: phase, step, and activity. The participants

DeformerNet: Learning Bimanual Manipulation of 3D Deformable Objects [PDF]
Applications in fields ranging from home care to warehouse fulfillment to surgical assistance require robots to reliably manipulate the shape of 3D deformable objects. Analytic models of elastic, 3D deformable objects require numerous parameters to describe the potentially infinite degrees of freedom present in determining the object's shape.

Stochastic Model of Tumor-induced Angiogenesis: Ensemble Averages and Deterministic Equations [PDF]
A recent conceptual model of tumor-driven angiogenesis including branching, elongation, and anastomosis of blood vessels captures some of the intrinsic multiscale structures of this complex system, yet allowing to extract a deterministic integro-partial differential description of the vessel tip density [Phys. Rev. E 90, 062716 (2014)].

Laparoscopic peritoneal lavage. Our experience and review of the literature [PDF]
NTRODUCTION: Over the years various therapeutic techniques for diverticulitis have been developed. Laparoscopic peritoneal lavage (LPL) appears to be a safe and useful treatment, and it could be an effective alternative to colonic resection in emergency

Learning-Based Keypoint Registration for Fetoscopic Mosaicking [PDF]
In Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), abnormal vascular anastomoses in the monochorionic placenta can produce uneven blood flow between the two fetuses. In the current practice, TTTS is treated surgically by closing abnormal anastomoses using laser ablation. This surgery is minimally invasive and relies on fetoscopy.

The impact of stapling technique and surgeon specialism on anastomotic failure after right-sided colorectal resection. An international multi-centre, prospective audit [PDF]
There is little evidence to support choice of technique and configuration for stapled anastomoses after right hemicolectomy and ileocaecal resection.

Vessel Remodeling after Intima-to-Intima Contact Anastomosis
Background Intima-to-intima microanastomotic vascular remodeling was explored, utilizing a polylactide-caprolactone absorbable vein coupler model (PAVCM), which was designed to simulate a non-absorbable counterpart system with the sole exception of ...
