Thoracoscopic lobectomy with the da vinci surgical system.

Innovations (Phila)

From the Center for Robotics and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina (N.I., Y.S.S., L.W.N., W.R.C.); and the Department of General and Cardiothoracic Surgery, Kanazawa University School of Medicine, Kanazawa, Japan (N.I., G.W.).

Published: October 2012

Thoracoscopic upper lobectomy has been performed with the da Vinci surgical system in human cadavers. A minithoracotomy and two additional thoraco ports provided access to the thoracic cavity. An auxiliary port was used for both retraction of the lung and suction. The pulmonary vessels were ligated by robotic instruments, and the bronchi were divided after suturing robotically or with automatic staplers. A standard lymph node dissection was performed. The current da Vinci surgical system provided superior optics and enhanced dexterity. The application of the system for minimally invasive lobectomy may add benefits for both surgeon and patients.

Background: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic single-site hysterectomy is popular among patients and surgeons due to good cosmetic outcomes and fast recovery. However, questions remain such as loss of triangulation and instrument collision. Our aim is to test the feasibility and safety of a purpose-designed single-site robotic surgical platform mainly in hysterectomies.

Speech-mediated manipulation of da Vinci surgical system for continuous surgical flow.

Biomed Eng Lett

January 2025

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Seoul National University College of Medicine, 103 Daehak-ro, Jongno- gu, Seoul, 03080 Republic of Korea.

Unlabelled: With the advent of robot-assisted surgery, user-friendly technologies have been applied to the da Vinci surgical system (dVSS), and their efficacy has been validated in worldwide surgical fields. However, further improvements are required to the traditional manipulation methods, which cannot control an endoscope and surgical instruments simultaneously. This study proposes a speech recognition control interface (SRCI) for controlling the endoscope via speech commands while manipulating surgical instruments to replace the traditional method.

: This study aims to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of the da Vinci Xi and hinotori™ SRS robot-assisted surgical systems for gynecologic disorders. : We conducted a retrospective study of 401 cases (43 benign uterine tumors; 88 pelvic organ prolapses; 270 low-risk endometrial cancers) of robot-assisted surgery performed at Kagoshima University Hospital between January 2017 and October 2024. Surgical factors such as the operative time, blood loss, and complication rates were analyzed and compared between the da Vinci Xi (332 cases) and hinotori™ SRS (69 cases) systems.

Robot-Assisted Pyelolithotomy in Pelvic Kidney.

J Clin Med

December 2024

Department of Urology, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel-Hashomer, Ramat Gan 5262000, Israel.

Pelvic kidney is a congenital anomaly characterized by the kidney's failure to ascend to its normal anatomical location during early embryonic development. This anomaly complicates traditional surgical approaches for renal calculi due to the kidney's atypical positioning and associated anatomical challenges. We sought to summarize our experience with robotic-assisted pyelolithotomy (RPPK) for pelvic kidney stones.
