Robotically Assisted Endoscopic Ovarian Transposition

BACKGROUND Ovarian transposition is the anatomical relocation of the ovaries from the pelvis to the abdomen. Transposition is beneficial in women who are to undergo pelvic radiation, because it allows maintenance of ovarian function and preservation of assisted reproductive capacity. METHODS The da Vinci surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Mountainview, CA, USA) was used to perform an endosc...

Osteomyelitis After Robotically Assisted Laparoscopic Sacral Colpopexy

Dear Editor, Osteomyelitis following robot assisted sacral colpopexy is a rare entity. Till now only two cases have been reported (1, 2). In 2010, Muffly et al described a life-threatening case of osseous infection (L5/S1) and epidural abscess 4 months after robot assisted sacral colpopexy using a synthetic mesh. The correction of complications required surgical intervention, including sacral d...

Robotically Assisted Cochlear Imaging and Access 600

Cochlear implants are electronic devices that are used to restore hearing to individuals with severe-toprofound sensorineural loss via direct stimulation of the auditory nerve. Implantation requires the insertion of an electrode into human cochlea. This project aims at developing a safe robotic approach for minimizing intracochlear trauma during electrode insertion and consequently preserving t...

Robotically assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a pilot study.

HYPOTHESIS Since the advent of laparoscopic surgery in 1987 and the introduction of robotics into medicine in 1991, medical technology has advanced to robotic applications in performing surgery. In our study, we investigated the feasibility of performing simple laparoscopic maneuvers and laparoscopic cholecystectomy using a robotic surgical system. DESIGN The study used a ZEUS robotic system ...
