Because of the increasing use of laparoscopic surgeries, robotic technologies have been
developed to overcome the challenges these surgeries impose on surgeons. This paper …

The benefits of laparoscopic surgery (LS) include a speedy recovery, shorter duration of
hospital stay, minimal postoperative pain, discomfort and disabilities, and better cosmetic …

Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery is a promising alternative to transcranial
approaches. However, standard instruments lack articulation, and thus, could benefit from …

Previous studies have shown that the handle design of laparoscopic instruments is crucial to
surgical performance and surgeon's ergonomics. In this study, four different sizes of an …

Background Nowadays, advances in medical informatics have made minimally invasive
surgery (MIS) procedures the preferred choice. However, there are several problems with …

Purpose The expanded endoscopic endonasal approach, a representative example of
keyhole brain surgery, allows access to the pituitary gland and surrounding areas through …

Purpose. New laparoscopic devices are being continuously developed to overcome some of
the technical and ergonomic limitations of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery. This …

Background The robot‐assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) has developed rapidly in
recent years, requiring highly articulated instruments to enable surgeons to perform …

Acute care surgery (ACS) is a crucial medical field that specifically deals with the rapid
treatment of surgical emergencies. This investigation encompasses the most recent …

Background: Enhanced laparoscopic instruments are filling the gap between straight-stick
laparoscopic equipment and robotic platforms. We sought to evaluate the performance and …
