Robotic-assisted surgery is now well established in clinical practice and has become the
gold-standard clinical treatment option for several clinical indications. The field of robotic …

In a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) robot, the remote center of motion (RCM) mechanism
is usually used to realize the constrained motion of the surgical instrument. In this paper, a …

Image-guidance during partial nephrectomy enables navigation within the operative field
alongside a 3-dimensional roadmap of renal anatomy generated from patient-specific …

Background Current laparoscopic surgical robots are teleoperated, which requires high
fidelity differential motions but does not require absolute accuracy. Emerging applications …

Benefiting from small incisions, reduced risk of infection, less pain, and fast recovery,
minimally invasive surgery has shown tremendous advantages for patients. In these kinds of …

While only a limited number of procedures have image guidance available during robotically
guided surgery, they still require the surgeon to manually reference the obtained scans to …

Goal: We present a new framework for in vivo image guidance evaluation and provide a
case study on robotic partial nephrectomy. Methods: This framework (called the “bystander …

Telesurgical robotic systems provide a well-established form of assistance in the operating
theater, with evidence of growing uptake in recent years. Until now, the da Vinci surgical …

Aim: Image-guided surgery (IGS) allows for accurate, real-time localization of subsurface
critical structures during surgery. No prior IGS systems have described a feasible method of …

In recent years, robotic assistance has become increasingly used and applied in minimally
invasive surgeries. A new cooperative surgical robot system that includes a joystick-guided …
