eComment. Coronary anastomosis simulation: assessing surgical dexterity [PDF]
This article essentially provides an insight as to how cardiac surgical trainees can benefit from a low-cost coronary anastomosis simulator [1]. In our view, the outcome of the considerable effort spent on the trainees would be further enhanced if they were also given the opportunity to propose their own way of assessing the impact of anastomosis on ...

Breaking Barriers in Robotic Soft Tissue Surgery: Conditional Autonomous Intestinal Anastomosis [PDF]
Autonomous robotic surgery has the potential to provide efficacy, safety, and consistency independent of individual surgeons skill and experience. Autonomous soft-tissue surgery in unstructured and deformable environments is especially challenging as it necessitates intricate imaging, tissue tracking and surgical planning techniques, as well as a ...

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 ...

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)].
