New methods for the treatment of renal calculi : the St. Luke’s Hospital experience [PDF]
, 1989 The last decade has seen extraordinary advances in the management of urinary tract calculi. With the introduction of minimally invasive techniques, like percutaneus nephrolithotomy (PCN), and non-invasive ones, like extra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy

Central vascular ligation and mesentery based abdominal surgery
Discover Oncology, 2021 In the nineteenth century the idea of a correct surgical approach in oncologic surgery moved towards a good lymphadenectomy. In colon cancer the segment is removed with adjacent mesentery, in gastric cancer or pancreatic cancer a good oncologic resection

Dynamic Reconstruction of Deformable Soft-tissue with Stereo Scope in Minimal Invasive Surgery [PDF]
, 2020 In minimal invasive surgery, it is important to rebuild and visualize the latest deformed shape of soft-tissue surfaces to mitigate tissue damages. This paper proposes an innovative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm for deformable dense reconstruction of surfaces using a sequence of images from a stereoscope. We introduce a warping

Combining Time-Dependent Force Perturbations in Robot-Assisted Surgery Training [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Teleoperated robot-assisted minimally-invasive surgery (RAMIS) offers many advantages over open surgery. However, there are still no guidelines for training skills in RAMIS. Motor learning theories have the potential to improve the design of RAMIS training but they are based on simple movements that do not resemble the complex movements required in ...

Minimally invasive surgery for Ricci flow singularities [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 In this paper, we construct smooth forward Ricci flow evolutions of singular initial metrics resulting from rotationally symmetric neckpinches on S^(n+1), without performing an intervening surgery. In the restrictive context of rotational symmetry, this construction gives evidence in favor of Perelman's hope for a "canonically defined Ricci flow ...
