With the growing number of patient complaints related to various long term side effects of surgical meshes, the search for the ideal mesh is still on. Reconsidering t
Light in the visible spectrum guides surgical decision-making by enabling the surgeon to intraoperatively define anatomy.
Statement of the Problem: Grade III and IV highly vascular haemorrhoids with Secondary haemorrhoids – (between the anal cushions) and Circumferential and Circumferentiall
Every year approximately 175,000 laparoscopic ventral hernia procedures are performed. There are significant benefits including shorter length of stay and significantly lower infection rates,
Current standards of care in the preoperative planning for liver resection includes two dimensional (2D) cross sectional multiphase, computed tomography (CT) or magneti
Realtime automatic polyp detection during colonoscopy reduces the number of missed colon polyp/adenoma in the visual field, which help to improve adenoma detection and thus decrease the risk of int
Advancements in telecommunications has expanded the ability to collaborate remotely. A challenge faced in telecommunication is reduced ability to use nonve
Appendectomy is the most common surgical emergency. In order to mitigate high operating room charges associated with longer surgeries, many surgeons use en
Fetal surgery has the potential to correct or ameliorate developmental defects such as spina bifida, twin twin transfusion syndrome, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, sacrococcygeal teratomas, and u
Alteration in perfusion is a major biomarker to indicate the function of an injured, resected or transplanted organ. Currently, tissue perfusion and viability are
The robot-assisted surgery was previously associated with the name DaVinci® (Intuitive) worldwide. Since 2016, a second robotic system has been available with the Senhance® (Transenterix).
Gastric leaks following bariatric surgery are among the most feared postoperative complications. Although revisional surgery is a treatment option, it carries a higher m
Sleeve based procedures now encompass approximately 70% of all bariatric surgeries. Yet with the increasing prevalence of these procedures, a standardized technique has
We seek to eliminate the need for surgical mesh in ventral hernia repairs and to convert procedures from open surgery to a laparoscopic repair.
There are 350,000 ventral hernia repairs in
Fully insertable laparoscopic cameras, compared to conventional trocar-based laparoscopes, feature more locomotive flexibility in a larger workspace and t
Develop tissue engineered materials that are friendly to the intracorporeal environment. Develop new additive manufacturing-based (also termed 3
A major drawback of minimally invasive left-sided (LS) colorectal resection is the need for an abdominal wall incision to remove the specimen and perform portions of the
The United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first new brand of a compatible laparoscopic staplers under the 510(k) process as a substantially
Adverse events occur commonly in the operating room (OR) and may result in significant patient morbidity and mortality. Intraoperative events often result from system factors, a term describing the
The aim of our work is to develop an unsupervised approach for tool detection in endoscopic video data. There is an abundance of medical imaging data available, but
Ablation needle placement is the critical step in laparoscopic ablation of unresectable liver tumors. Even to skilled surgeons, it can be difficult to correspond the thr
We report an ingestible capsule for pH-targeted sampling and sensing within the human gut. Current methods for evaluating gastrointestinal (G
There is a clear need to increase early diagnosis of colorectal neoplasms to allow more local excisions and perform organ-sparing surgery. Current screening policies failed to reach reasonable atte
The effectiveness of novel weight loss interventions should be assessed in a validated, standardized manner. Though % total weight loss (%TWL), morbidi
