Instrumentation is the key to success in endourology. Indeed, endourology could be redefined as "enginurology" as the marriage between engineering and urology to develop instrumentation to improve patient outcomes is the key facilitator in the advancement of minimally invasive techniques. This review article will identify the evidence-base that supports our current recommendations for equipment used during ureteroscopy.

Some previous studies have focused on using physiological signals to detect stress in individuals with ASD through wearable devices, yet few have focused on how to design such solutions. Wearable technology may be a valuable tool to aid parents and caregivers in monitoring the emotional states of individuals with ASD who are at high risk of experiencing very stressful situations. However, effective wearable devices for individuals with ASD may need to differ from solutions for those without ASD.

Adult spinal deformity comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders that primarily affects older patients and can have a significant negative affect on health-related quality of life. Operative treatment for adult spinal deformity typically entails posterior instrumented fusions that have demonstrated the potential to significantly improve health-related quality of life outcomes. However, until fusion is achieved, the instrumentation providing structural support is subject to repetitive cyclical loading that disproportionately fatigues high-stress areas and can result in instrumentation failure.

Complex liver cancer is often difficult to expose or dissect, and the surgery is often challenging. 3D-printed models may realistically present 3D anatomical structure, which has certain value in planning and training of liver surgery. However, the existing 3D-printed models are all monolithic models, which are difficult to reuse and limited in clinical application.

Wearable biosensors are a fast-evolving topic at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and personalized medicine. These sensors, which are frequently integrated into clothes and accessories or directly applied to the skin, provide continuous, real-time monitoring of physiological and biochemical parameters such as heart rate, glucose levels, and hydration status. Recent breakthroughs in downsizing, materials science, and wireless communication have greatly improved the functionality, comfort, and accessibility of wearable biosensors.
