Robotic surgery for management of head and neck pathologies has only been in practice for
little more than a decade. Since then, there has been a rapid development in the field of …

There is an unmet need for new techniques and methods of healing critical size tissue
defects, by further reduction of invasiveness in implant, cell and tissue-based surgery. This …

Background Significant advances have been made in transoral robotic surgery (TORS), yet
its application in anterior skull‐base surgery has yet to be defined. This work explores the …

This letter presents the development and experimental evaluation of an active steering hand-
held robotic system for milling and curved drilling in minimally invasive orthopaedic …

Objective: Steerable surgical drills have the potential to minimize intraoperative tissue
damage to patients. However, due to their large shaft diameters, large bend radii, and small …

Steerable drills have the potential to minimize the required dimensions of incisions in
minimally invasive spine fusion (MISF). Existing steerable drills mostly rely on flexible …

Although transnasal access to the skull base is not possible with the currently available
robotic systems, promising technology does exist and is in development. Robotic anterior …

This paper introduces an efficient contact-based registration method for minimally invasive
anterior hip arthroplasty. Unlike existing methods that involve radiation exposure, implanted …

Soft continuum robot arms (CRAs) are potential in narrow confined spaces owing to the high
dexterity and compliance, while torsional motion is also anticipated in some scenarios in …

Objective: Cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) demonstrates superior survival rates
compared to uncemented procedures. Nevertheless, most younger patients opt for …
