Background: Residual fragments (RFs) after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) have a significant impact on patients' quality of life and clinical course. There is paucity studies that evaluate the natural history RFs PCNL.

We report the first multicenter, prospective, randomized noninferiority controlled trial of steerable ureteroscopic renal evacuation (SURE) for nephrolithiasis treatment.
Current laparoscopic surgical robots are teleoperated, which requires high fidelity differential motions but does not require absolute accuracy. Emerging applications, including image guidance and automation, The accuracy of the da Vinci Xi robot has yet been characterized or compared to Si system, is now being phased out. This study compares two.We measure tip positions encoder values assessing with without calibration.The accurate if setup joints moved loses otherwise. always accurate.The...
Current surgical approaches to radical prostatectomy are associated with high rates of erectile dysfunction and incontinence. These complications occur secondary the disruption surrounding healthy tissue, which is required expose prostate. The urethra offers least invasive access prostate, feasibility has been demonstrated enucleating prostate an endoscope using Holmium laser, can itself be aimed by concentric tube robots. However, transurethral approach thus far limited lack a suitable...
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 intraoperative reregistration after manipulation the kidney robotic partial nephrectomy (PN). We present seamless and evaluate accuracy before tumor resection in two validated phantoms.
Postoperative spine infections cause considerable morbidity. Patients are subjected to long-term antibiotic regimens and may require further surgery. Delivery of electric current through instrumentation can detach biofilm, allowing better penetration assisting in eradicating infection.We asked (1) whether capacitive coupling treatment combination with a single dose antibiotics would reduce infection rates when compared alone rabbit model, (2) it decrease the overall bacterial burden, (3)...
Towards reducing the invasiveness of radical prostatectomy, we have designed a robotic system for performing it transurethrally. Suturing to attach urethra bladder (i.e. anastomosis) after prostate removal is most challenging part procedure, and has previously been demonstrated robotically only in synthetic phantoms. In this paper, present initial experiments biological tissues using ex vivo squid tissue embedded an anthropomorphic phantom made 3D printing silicone casting. We successfully...
Abstract Purpose To analyze surgical and oncologic outcomes of patients undergoing open partial nephrectomy (OPN) versus laparoscopic (LPN) for treatment renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods We retrospectively investigated our institutional RCC database who underwent PN from 1997 to 2018. Decision technique was at the discretion operating urologist, following practice patterns training history. Outcomes analyzed included pre/peri/post-operative parameters, pathologic outcomes, disease...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) research has focused on developing accessible biomarkers that accurately detect pathology and progression before symptoms present. Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding antimicrobial glycoprotein found in all biological fluids, its concentration saliva been correlated with AD symptoms. This pilot project aimed to determine whether salivary lactoferrin (sLF) potential as a biomarker for AD.

We present a new framework for in vivo image guidance evaluation and provide case study on robotic partial nephrectomy.
Introduction: Recent retrospective literature suggests that the quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) scoring tool is a potentially superior over use of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria to predict septic shock after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgery. Here we examine qSOFA and SIRS within data series collected prospectively on PCNL patients as part greater study infectious complications. Materials Methods: We performed secondary analysis two...
In robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, kidney tumors are removed surgically, along with a margin of healthy tissue around the tumor. This is taken to prevent positive margins (i.e. tumor accidentally left behind). Yet it desirable minimize thickness margin, since effectiveness post-surgery function related volume preserved. this paper we use statistical information on robot-mediated surface-based registration select variable-thickness that optimally account for uncertainty. These can then be...
