Several barriers prevent the integration and adoption of augmented reality (AR) in robotic renal surgery despite increased availability virtual three-dimensional (3D) models. Apart from correct model alignment deformation, not all instruments are clearly visible AR. Superimposition a 3D on top surgical stream, including instruments, can result potentially hazardous situation. We demonstrate real-time instrument detection during AR-guided robot-assisted partial nephrectomy show generalization...
Introduction and Hypothesis: Robotic sacropexy (RSC) emerged in the last years as a valid alternative to laparoscopic technique. However, robotic approach is still limited by platform availability concerns about cost-effectiveness. Recently, new platforms joined market, lowering costs offering possibility expand approach. The aim of our study was demonstrate technical feasibility safety procedure with this along description surgical setting. Materials Methods: We reported data on first five...
Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) has demonstrated better peri-operative outcomes as compared to open prostatectomy. However, RASP is still limited by platform availability and cost-effectiveness issues. The new surgical robots increasing competition may spread the robotic approach also in non-oncological fields. We reported first executed Europe at OLV Hospital (Aalst, Belgium) performed with novel HUGO™ Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System. consists of four independent carts, an...

iSR: interactive simulated reality Central Picture LegendReal-time AI-assisted augmented view during robotic-assisted thoracic surgery messageTechnological feasibility of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based approach to enable (registration/dynamic tracking) robotic lung with deformable and 3D-models.
The integration of Augmented Reality (AR) into daily surgical practice is withheld by the correct registration pre-operative data. This includes intelligent 3D model superposition whilst simultaneously handling real and virtual occlusions caused AR overlay. Occlusions can negatively impact safety as such deteriorate rather than improve care. Robotic surgery particularly suited to tackle these challenges in a stepwise approach robotic console allows for different inputs be displayed parallel...
Patients with multiple ipsilateral renal masses have an augmented risk of metachronous contralateral lesions and are likely to undergo repeated surgeries. We report our experience the technologies currently available surgical techniques preserve healthy parenchyma while guaranteeing oncological radicality during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).The data were collected at three tertiary-care centers, where 61 patients treated RAPN between 2012 2021. was performed da Vinci Si or Xi...
Abstract Computational cardiac mechanical models, individualized to the patient, have potential elucidate fundamentals of (patho‐)physiology, enable non‐invasive quantification clinically significant metrics (eg, stiffness, active contraction, work), and anticipate efficacy therapeutic cardiovascular intervention. In a clinical setting, however, available imaging resolution is often limited, which limits models focus on ventricles, without including atria, valves, proximal arteries veins....
Objective: Develop a pioneer surgical anonymization algorithm for reliable and accurate real-time removal of out-of-body images, validated across various robotic platforms. Summary Background data / Background: The use video has become common practice in enhancing research training. Video sharing requires complete anonymization, which, the case endoscopic surgery, entails all nonsurgical frames where endoscope can record patient or operating room staff. To date, no openly available...
(1) Background: Surgical phases form the basic building blocks for surgical skill assessment, feedback, and teaching. The phase duration itself its correlation with clinical parameters at diagnosis have not yet been investigated. Novel commercial platforms provide indications but assessed accuracy yet. (2) Methods: We 100 robot-assisted partial nephrectomy videos durations based on previously defined proficiency metrics. developed an annotation framework subsequently compared our annotations...
