The progress of technology and robotics in industry has not yield to an equivalent development in the medical field. This paper analyses surgical proce-dures from the point of view of industrial processes looking for ...

Simulators for gastrointestinal endoscopy offer the opportunity to train and assess clinicians’ skills in a low-risk and reliable environment. Physical simulators can enable a direct instrument-to-organ interaction not ...

Requirements of accuracy, predictability and safety of contemporary and future surgical procedures makes essential the introduction of new technologies. Robotics have demonstrate in the manufacturing industry, aerospace ...

Purpose: We aimed to biomechanically evaluate the effect of the supraspinatus tendon on tuberosity stability using two different reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) models for complex proximal humeral fractures ...

La tecnología es sin duda una parte esencial en todo lo que hace referencia a la asistencia y la salud y va estando más y más presente en el diagnóstico, tratamiento, monitorización y supervisión, así como en investigación. ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is a viable solution for automating repetitive surgical subtasks due to its ability to learn complex behaviours in a dynamic environment. This task automation could lead to reduced surgeon’s ...

Robotic-assisted surgeries are commonly used today as a more efficient alternative to traditional surgical options. Both surgeons and patients benefit from those systems, as they offer many advantages, including less trauma ...

Robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgical sys-tems suffer from one major limitation which is the lack of interaction forces feedback. The restricted sense of touch hinders the surgeons’ performance and reduces their ...

Purpose: Technical advancements have been part of modern medical solutions as they promote better surgical alternatives that serve to the benefit of patients. Particularly with cardiovascular surgeries, robotic surgical ...
