Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery

Annals of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2016
Even though the development of thoracoscopic procedures has a history of over a hundred years, it is only in the last two decades that interest in minimally invasive thoracic surgery has been renewed by two key technological improvements. These are the development of endoscopic cameras offering a panoramic view and the availability of new endoscopic ...

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

The role of video-assisted vascular surgery

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 1998
During the past few years the use of minimal access surgery has rapidly expanded to involve numerous procedures, particularly in general surgery. By reducing the postoperative pain and shortening hospital stay, video-endoscopic techniques were soon accepted by patients and after a while by their surgeons.

Miniature Soft Robot With Magnetically Reprogrammable Surgical Functions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Miniature soft robots have great prospects to revolutionize minimally invasive treatments. Here we present a miniature soft robot, which can be reprogrammed to perform five surgical functionalities with six‐degrees‐of‐freedom motions. This soft robot can prospectively make minimally invasive surgery considerably safer and painless, and enable ...

Meniscus‐Guided Interfacial Ring‐by‐Ring Assembly for In Situ Fabrication of Tubular Hydrogels

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A tubular hydrogel fabrication method leveraging the meniscus effect at the oil‐water interface is presented. UV irradiation across the concave surface of the photocurable hydrogel precursor induces the formation of ring‐like hydrogel structures. Sequential ring‐by‐ring assembly within microchannels enables the construction of arteriole‐scale hydrogel ...
