Abstract We describe a novel extraperitoneal vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) approach for pelvic reconstruction in women with multicompartment pelvic organ prolapse (POP). This retroperitoneal technique enables direct exposure of the presacral area, allowing secure fixation of a Y‐shaped mesh to the anterior ...

A Variable-Dimension Overtube for Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery
In natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, the insertion of surgical instruments can cause patient discomfort, even bleeding and perforation. This paper proposes a design of an overtube which can vary its radial dimension.

Recent Advances in Variable‐Stiffness Robotic Systems Enabled by Phase‐Change Materials
Phase‐change materials (PCMs), such as shape memory alloys, hydrogels, shape memory polymers, liquid crystal elastomers, and low‐melting‐point alloys, are driving advancements in stiffness‐tunable robotic systems across a wide range of applications. This review highlights recent progress in PCM‐enabled robotics, focusing on their underlying mechanisms,

Third-Generation Nephrectomy by Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery [PDF]
Recently there has been increasing enthusiasm for performing simple abdominal procedures by transgastric surgery. We previously reported the usefulness of a combined transgastric and transvesical approach to cholecystectomy. In this study we assessed the feasibility of combined transgastric and transvesical approach for performing a more complex ...

An online learning control framework with a data cache pool based on a constant‐curvature model inspired neural network (CCMINN) model to obtain the inverse kinematics model of tendon‐actuated continuum manipulators is proposed. Combining the fast‐converging CCMINN with an online learning control framework enables high‐precision and highly robust ...
