Ultrasound-guided robotic surgical procedures: a systematic review. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Ultrasound has been nicknamed “the surgeon’s stethoscope”. The advantages of laparoscopic ultrasound beyond a substitute for the sense of touch are considerable, especially for robotic surgery. Being able to see through parenchyma and into vascular structures enables to avoid unnecessary dissection ...

Evaluation of the Versius Robotic Surgical System for Procedures in Small Cavities [PDF]
Background: The Versius® is a recently approved robotic surgical system for general surgery procedures in adults. Before any application in children, data of its feasibility and safety in small cavities has to be compiled, beginning with inanimate models. Therefore, the aim of this preclinical study was to assess the Versius® system for its performance

Trends in the Adoption of Robotic Surgery for Common Surgical Procedures [PDF]
Increasing use of robotic surgery for common surgical procedures with limited evidence and unclear clinical benefit is raising concern. Analyses of population-based trends in practice and how hospitals' acquisition of robotic surgical technologies is associated with their use are limited.To characterize trends in the use of robotic surgery for common ...

Surgical procedures and experience sharing of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy
Background: Since the first successful open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) that performed in 1935, several major landmarks have been achieved in the field such as the performance of the first laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) 28 years ago and the first robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) 19 years ago.

Modeling of Surgical Procedures Using Statecharts for Semi-Autonomous Robotic Surgery [PDF]
In this paper we propose a new methodology to model surgical procedures that is specifically tailored to semi-autonomous robotic surgery. We propose to use a restricted version of statecharts to merge the bottom-up approach, based on data-driven techniques (e.g., machine learning), with the top-down approach based on knowledge representation techniques.

Automatic detection of procedural knowledge in robotic-assisted surgical texts
Abstract Purpose The automatic extraction of knowledge about intervention execution from surgical manuals would be of the utmost importance to develop expert surgical systems and assistants. In this work we assess the feasibility of automatically identifying the sentences of a surgical intervention text containing ...
