Minimally invasive surgery, including laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures, benefits
patients in terms of improved postoperative outcomes and short recovery time. The …

In minimally invasive surgery, tools go through narrow openings and manipulate soft organs
to perform surgical tasks. There are limitations in current robot-assisted surgical systems due …

Objective: Probe-based confocal endomicroscopy is an emerging high-magnification optical
imaging technique that provides in vivo and in situ cellular-level imaging for real-time …

Current techniques for assessing the adequacy of tumour excision during breast conserving
surgery do not provide real-time direct cytopathological assessment of the internal cavity …

We propose a learning-based controller to enable autonomous execution of the eFAST
scanning by a lightweight robotic manipulator according to expert demonstrations. The …

Endomicroscopy is a new technique that allows human tissue to be characterized in vivo
and in situ, circumventing the need for conventional biopsy and histology. Despite increased …

New optical biopsy methods such as confocal endomicroscopy represent a promising tool
for breast conserving surgery, allowing real-time assessment of tumor margins. However, it …
