Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) evolved as an alternative to open surgical approaches,
and resulted in reduced surgical trauma and faster recovery. However, the confined …

Concentric tube robots (CTRs) have drawn significant research attention over the years,
particularly due to their applications in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Indeed, their small …

In conventional core decompression of osteonecrosis, surgeons cannot successfully reach
the whole area of the femoral head due to rigidity of the instruments currently used. To …

Background Augmented reality (AR) has become a promising tool in neurosurgery. It can
minimise the anatomical challenges faced by conventional endoscopic or microscopic …

BACKGROUND: Novel robots have recently been developed specifically for endonasal
surgery. They can deliver several thin, tentacle-like surgical instruments through a single …

Objectives The purpose of this study is to experimentally evaluate the use of concentric tube
continuum robots in endonasal skull base tumor removal. This new type of surgical robot …

Although intelligent technologies has facilitated the development of precise orthopaedic,
simple internal fixation, ligament reconstruction or arthroplasty can only relieve pain of …

This paper focuses on the design and quantitative characterization of a debriding tool
integrated with a robotic system to treat osteolysis (bone degradation). Osteolysis typically …

Background: Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach has become the workhorse
for pituitary adenomas. The residual rates and complications continue to present as …

Objectives/Hypothesis The nasopharynx remains one of the most challenging areas to
surgically access given its deep location, narrow confines, and surrounding critical …
