Single-Port Robotic-assisted Transaxillary Breast-conserving Surgery: A Prospective, Single-arm, Non-randomized Phase IIa Clinical Trial
0 Views •
2025
This prospective study evaluated the implementation of a novel, single-port, robotic platform in oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery for malignant lesions. The primary endpoint focused on technical success, defined as the achievement of tumor-free resection margins confirmed by intraoperative frozen-section histopathology, with secondary assessment of aesthetic outcomes and life quality score of patients.

2026
This study describes a standardized surgical procedure for single-port endoscopic axillary lymph node dissection without liposuction in breast cancer. Indicated for patients with biopsy-confirmed nodal metastasis or positive sentinel lymph nodes, the technique emphasizes preservation of critical structures, particularly the intercostobrachial nerve, to reduce postoperative morbidity and optimize functional recovery.

Robotized Testing of Camera Positions to Determine Ideal Configuration for Stereo 3D Visualization of Open-Heart Surgery
0 Views •
2021
The human depth perception of 3D stereo videos depends on the camera separation, point of convergence, distance to, and familiarity of the object. This paper presents a robotized method for rapid and reliable test data collection during live open-heart surgery to determine the ideal camera configuration.

This video demonstrates an assay to generate tumor antigen-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived CD8αβ+ T Cells. Tumor antigen-specific iPSCs are grown on a stromal cell monolayer and differentiated into hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). The HPCs are differentiated into CD4+ CD8+ double-positive T cells using a differentiation medium. These cells are then stimulated to generate single-positive T cells expressing CD8.

C-arm-free oblique lumbar interbody fusion at the L5-S1 level (OLIF51) and simultaneous pedicle screw fixation are performed in a lateral position under navigation guidance. This technique does not expose the surgeon or operating staff to radiation hazards.
FAQs
Preoperative imaging helps the team understand the anatomy that must be reached from the selected orientation. Surgeons then plan patient alignment and access so multiple operative steps remain feasible without changing position. This preparation is important because the approach depends on maintaining consistent exposure while accounting for individual anatomy and the technical demands of the planned procedure.
Anesthesia and monitoring must accommodate the patient’s carefully maintained position throughout the operation. The team plans these elements alongside surgical access rather than treating positioning as a separate task. Coordinated preparation supports continuous observation and helps reduce complications associated with handling or repositioning, particularly when several procedural stages are completed from one orientation.
Traditional workflows may require the patient to be moved between operative stages so different anatomical areas can be accessed. Single Position Surgery instead designs the procedure around one orientation, allowing access to be maintained across those stages. The potential advantages include a more streamlined operating-room workflow and less patient handling, although the approach may not suit every procedure or anatomy.
Suitability depends on patient anatomy, procedure complexity, and the equipment available to the surgical team. The planned orientation must provide adequate access for all required steps without compromising anesthesia, monitoring, or alignment. When one position cannot support the necessary exposure or technical requirements, a conventional workflow involving repositioning may remain more appropriate.
Planning begins with preoperative imaging and selection of an orientation that can support the complete procedure. The team then establishes precise alignment, confirms surgical access, and coordinates anesthesia and monitoring requirements before the operation starts. During surgery, the planned orientation is maintained while surgeons perform the required stages, reducing the need for intraoperative handling between steps.
The method depends on equipment that permits surgeons to reach the required anatomy from the selected orientation. It also requires coordination among surgeons, anesthesia personnel, and other operating-room staff so alignment, access, monitoring, and procedural transitions remain consistent. This preparation can simplify workflow, but its success depends on whether the available resources match the planned operation.
In medicine, the approach can support minimally invasive spine and orthopedic procedures that traditionally involve changing positions between stages. Its relevance extends beyond positioning alone: maintaining one orientation may improve coordination and reduce handling during complex workflows. The specific value depends on whether the procedure’s anatomy and access requirements can be addressed effectively without changing the patient’s position.
Avoiding repositioning may shorten operating-room workflow and reduce risks associated with moving or handling the patient during surgery. It can also preserve consistent access and help teams coordinate multiple operative steps more efficiently. These are potential benefits rather than guaranteed outcomes, because results depend on patient anatomy, procedure complexity, careful planning, and suitable equipment.
