Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of percutaneous puncture guided by a 5th generation mobile communication technology (5G)-based telerobotic ultrasound system in phantom and animal experiments.
Materials And Methods: In the phantom experiment, 10 simulated lesions were punctured, once at each of two angles for each lesion, under the guidance of a telerobotic ultrasound system and ultrasound-guided freehand puncture. Student's t test was used to compare the two methods in terms of puncture accuracy, total operation duration, and puncture duration. In the animal experiment, under the guidance of the telerobotic ultrasound system, an 18G puncture needle was used to puncture 3 target steel beads in the liver, right kidney, and right gluteal muscle, respectively. The animal experiment had no freehand ultrasound-guided control group. After puncture, a CT scan was performed to verify the position of the puncture needle in relation to the target, and the complications and puncture duration, etc., were recorded.
Results: In the phantom experiment, the mean accuracies of puncture under telerobotic ultrasound guidance and conventional ultrasound guidance were 1.8 ± 0.3 mm and 1.6 ± 0.3 mm (P = 0.09), respectively; therefore, there was no significant difference in the accuracy of the two guide methods. In the animal experiment, the first-attempt puncture success (the needle tip close to the target) rate was 93%. Polypnea occurred during one puncture. No other intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed.
Conclusion: Puncture guided by a 5G-based telerobotic ultrasound system has shown good feasibility and safety in phantom and animal experiments.

Background: Endodontic file fractures are common complications of root canal treatment, and requires removal via specialized techniques such as endodontic microsurgery when the file beyond the apical foramen. It is often challenging to precisely and minimally remove a fractured file. Recently the use of dental autonomous robotic system (ATR) has shown promise in precisely and minimally in dental surgery.

Computational analysis of the pubic symphyseal surface is widely used for accurate age estimation, offering quantitative precision through the detection of subtle morphological changes. However, these methods often lack insights into the underlying morphological changes across different age groups. To bridge this gap, the study utilizes statistical shape modeling (SSM), a versatile tool capable of describing diverse morphological variations within populations.

Interventional embolization has been widely used as a clinical cancer therapy, which deactivates the tumors by occluding their blood supply vessels. However, conventional methods lack active control over the embolic particles, thus having a limited selectivity of millimeter-scale vessels and the issue of missing embolization. Here, we propose an ultrasound-based method for embolic particle control in submillimeter vessels.

Purpose: To assess the surgical outcomes of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Extravesical Ureteral Reimplantation (RALUR-EV) in infants under one year of age with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) as compared to older children.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 48 children with VUR who underwent unilateral or bilateral RALUR-EV between June 2018 and December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (25 infants under one year) and Group B (23 children over one year).

Small-scale continuum robots hold promise for interventional diagnosis and treatment, yet existing models struggle to achieve small size, precise steering, and visualized functional treatment simultaneously, termed an "impossible trinity". This study introduces an optical fiber-based continuum robot integrated imaging, high-precision motion, and multifunctional operation abilities at submillimeter-scale. With a slim profile of 0.
