Development of an Inchworm‐Like Dual‐Balloon‐Assisted Colonoscopic Robot Based on a Two‐Segment Extensible Continuum Section

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents an inchworm‐like dual‐balloon‐assisted colonoscopic robot (IDCR) based on a rod‐driven two‐segment continuum section. The IDCR enables the active straightening of the sigmoid colon through an inchworm‐like locomotion strategy, thereby avoiding loop formation.

The Subhyoid Approach for Base of Tongue Tumors: Description of A Novel Surgical Technique

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The sub‐hyoid approach is a novel open surgical technique for selected deeply infiltrative base of tongue tumors, providing direct access and allowing full‐thickness resection while preserving the tongue neurovascular structures. Thyro‐hyoido‐pexy restores hyo‐laryngeal suspension without flap reconstruction, with the aim of preserving swallowing ...
