Utility of a human-type robot as humanoid surgeon in Multi Piercing Surgery of ultra-minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery
Ohdaira Takeshi, Prof, Atsuo Takenishi, Prof. Center for Advanced Medical Initiatives, Kyushu University. PURPOSE: The robot developed for clinical use such as da Vinci Surgical System allowed solo surgery, for example, prostatectomy within a restricted operative field. However, concerning gastrectomy or colectomy, which needs widely dynamic action such as overturning organs, it is difficult to… Continue Reading

Validation of an Advanced Laparoscopic Skills Curriculum
Dmitry Nepomnayshy, MD, James Whitteledge, Richard Birkett, MD, Ted Delmonico, MD, Neal Seymour, MD. Lahey Clinic, Baystate Medical Center. INTRODUCTION: Since FLS represents a minimum proficiency standard for laparoscopic surgery, more advanced proficiency standards are required to address the need of current surgical training. We wanted to establish face and construct validity of a new… Continue Reading
