The paper develops a robotic manipulation system to meet the pressing needs for handling large number of test tubes in clinical examination and replace or reduce human labor. It presents technical details system, which separates arranges racks with help 3D vision artificial intelligence (AI) planning. developed only requires person put rack mixed non-arranged front robot. robot autonomously per...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic colectomies, with and without robotic assistance, are performed to treat both benign and malignant colonic disease. This study compared clinical and economic outcomes for laparoscopic colectomy procedures with and without robotic assistance. METHODS Patients aged ≥18 years having primary inpatient laparoscopic colectomy procedures (cecectomy, right hemic...

Robotic surgery is an innovation in thyroid surgery that may compensate for the drawbacks of conventional endoscopic surgery. A surgical robot provides strong advantages, including three-dimensional imaging, motion scaling, tremor elimination, and additional degrees of freedom. We review here recent adaptations, experience and applications of robotics in thyroid surgery. Robotic thyroid surgeri...

INTRODUCTION The treatment of large renal stones in children can be challenging often requiring combination therapy and multiple procedures. The purpose of this video is to describe our technique of robotic nephrolithotomy and pyelolithotomy for complex renal stone disease in children, and to demonstrate the utility of the robotic ultrasound probe to aid with stone localization. MATERIALS AND...

While robotic surgery has shown clear utility and advantages in the adult population, its role in pediatrics remains controversial. Pediatric-sized robotic instruments and equipment are not readily available yet, so certain modifications can be made in order to make robotic surgery successful in children. While the cost of robotic surgery remains high compared to open procedures, patients exper...

introduction: assessment tools of academic achievement in the field of surgery have always been received considerable attention. the issue that has received less attention is that which one of these methods has higher efficiency to cover appropriately educational objectives in surgical groups. this survey aimed to evaluate the results of three examinations (including osce, in-group educational ...

the aim of this study was to compare the level of agreement between four operators with different levels of experience for two methods of detecting secondary enamel and dentin carious lesions in composite restored teeth.sixty teeth of 40 patients with with secondary carious lesions in the composite resin were selected. the teeth were examined by two methods; visual inspection and a laser fluore...

The foundation of surgical robotics is in the development of the robotic arm. This is a thorough review of the literature on the nature and development of this device with emphasis on surgical applications. We have reviewed the published literature and classified robotic arms by their application: show, industrial application, medical application, etc. There is a definite trend in the manufactu...

BACKGROUND Robotic surgery is an alternative to minimally invasive surgery. The aim of this study was to report on current trends in robotic thoracic and cardiovascular surgical techniques in Korea. METHODS Data from the National Evidence-based Healthcare Collaborating Agency (NECA) between January 2006 and June 2012 were used in this study, including a total of 932 cases of robotic surgeries...
