Enhanced safety and precision with semi-automatic milling systems
Professor Dr Henning Windhagen is a great fan of semi-automatic systems in the OR that help with implants but leave the surgeon in the driver’s seat.
A novel ink to 3D print bone with living cells
3D printers may one day become a permanent fixture of the operating theatre after scientists showed they could print bone-like structures containing living cells.
A laser-steering microrobot for surgeons
A microrobotic opto-electro-mechanical device able to steer a laser beam with high speed and a large range of motion could enhance the possibilities of minimally invasive surgeries.
Endoscopic robotic system used for treating cancer
Researchers have developed an robotic system to enhance the safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer.
The role of surgical 3D printing in hospitals
More and more hospitals are entering the world of 3D printing in surgery as decision-makers and surgeons are realising the immense benefits for surgeons and patients alike.
AI and laser-based imaging system identify brain tumors
A novel method of combining advanced optical imaging with an artificial intelligence algorithm produces accurate, real-time intraoperative diagnosis of brain tumors.
Endoscopic prostate surgery performed on human-like phantom
Scientists have made a decisive contribution to improving complex surgical training by developing a very realistic prostate phantom.
VR surgery simulators are key to assessment of trainees
Machine learning-guided virtual reality simulators can help neurosurgeons develop the skills they need before they step in the operating room.
Robot-assisted surgery: high costs, few advantages
Clinical studies on robot-assisted surgery for indications in the thorax and abdomen have so far shown few advantages for this cost-intensive surgical method.
A robotic visualization system for neurosurgery
Study evaluated robotic operative microscope for neurosurgery and found that the KINEVO 900 provides various improvements over the previous microscope.
Algorithms for liver surgery make operations more safe
Researcher have developed algorithms that analyze patients‘ imaging data and calculate surgical risks. This makes liver cancer surgery safer and easier to plan.
