Evaluating the Collaborative Approach to the Implementation of Robotic Kidney Surgery
Timothy Johnson, MD, Roc McCarthy, DO, Ashley Adams, BS, Thomas V Clancy, MD, William W Hope, MD. New Hanover Regional Medical Center. Since the initial adoption by urologist for performing prostatectomies, robotic surgery has become more widespread with almost all surgical specialties now performing robotic procedures. Robotic kidney surgery adoption has been less widespread possibly… Continue Reading
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
