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.

Origami turns a single silicone chamber into three different soft fluidic actuators. Crease angles alone decide whether it elongates, bends, or twists, and the fully folded chambers are cast monolithically in one day. Below 15 kPa, they reach 268% axial stretch, 72° bending, and 55° twist—no strain‐limiting layers, no rigid reinforcements, no vacuum ...

A Multidimensional Perspective on Network Conditions in Telesurgery
A multidimensional framework systematically evaluates how combined network impairments influence telesurgical performance. By jointly analyzing latency, jitter, bandwidth, and packet loss, the proposed methodology identifies relevant network condition parameters and their interactions, supporting the design of reliable and safe telesurgical systems ...

ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic dilation is first‐line therapy for symptomatic benign esophageal strictures but remains operator‐dependent. Artificial intelligence (AI) could support assessment, risk stratification, and documentation; however, evidence from adjacent tasks is often mistaken for procedure‐specific validation.

ABSTRACT Background Healing dynamics after anterior skull base (ASB) reconstruction following transnasal endoscopic surgery (TES) for sinonasal malignancies remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to describe the postoperative healing process, quantify time to healing, identify factors influencing healing, and assess radiologic evolution over ...
