Surgical robotics has revolutionized the field of surgery, facilitating complex procedures in operating rooms. However, the current teleoperation systems often rely on bulky consoles, which limit the mobility of surgeons. This restriction reduces surgeons' awareness of the patient during procedures and narrows the range of implementation scenarios. To address these challenges, an alternative solution is proposed: a mixed reality-based teleoperation system. This system leverages hand gestures, head motion tracking, and speech commands to enable the teleoperation of surgical robots. The implementation focuses on the da Vinci research kit (dVRK) and utilizes the capabilities of Microsoft HoloLens 2. The system's effectiveness is evaluated through camera navigation tasks and peg transfer tasks. The results indicate that, in comparison to manipulator-based teleoperation, the system demonstrates comparable viability in endoscope teleoperation. However, it falls short in instrument teleoperation, highlighting the need for further improvements in hand gesture recognition and video display quality.

Circulating HPVDNA in patients undergoing transoral robotic surgery for oropharyngeal cancer: liquid biopsy could identify molecular residual disease.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, IRCCS Regina Elena National Cancer Institute, Istituti Fisioterapici Ospitalieri (IFO), Via Elio Chianesi 53, 00144, Rome, Italy.
Objectives: we evaluated the hypothesis that level of ctHPVDNA on the first postoperative day (POD-1); and at 15 days (POD-15) could be associated with the need for adjuvant therapy and the presence of recurrence.
Materials And Methods: this is a prospective observational study on biomarkers, focusing on the longitudinal monitoring of ctHPVDNA in a cohort of HPV-OPSCC patients undergoing TORS. Blood samples were collected according to the following schema: (1) pretreatment; (2) on first postoperative day (POD 1); and (3) at 15 days (POD 15).
Glenoid Preparation in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: Robotic-Arm Assisted Preparation Compared to Manual Preparation and Patient-specific Guides.
J Shoulder Elbow Surg

Roth | McFarlane Hand & Upper Limb Center, St Joseph's Health Care London, London, ON, Canada.
Background: Precise and accurate glenoid preparation is important for the success of shoulder arthroplasty. Despite advancements in preoperative planning software and enabling technologies, most surgeons execute the procedure manually. Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) facilitates accurate glenoid guide pin placement for cannulated reaming; however, few commercially available systems offer depth of reaming control.

Electronic address:
Purpose: To review patients with recurrent patellar dislocation surgically treated with robot-assisted medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction compared with patients who underwent surgery using the traditional freehand technique.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed to identify patients who underwent MPFL reconstruction from January 2020 to December 2023 in our hospital. The inclusion criteria were: patients aged from 15 to 50 years; patellar dislocation occurred two or more times; a Merchant view or computed tomography (CT) scan indicating patellofemoral joint malalignment, external patellar inclination, or lateral patellar dislocation; underwent MPFL reconstruction via robot-assisted or traditional freehand technique; complete medical records and imaging data before and after surgery; a minimum of 1 year of postoperative follow-up.

Department of General, Visceral and Thoracic Surgery, University Medical Center Hamburg- Eppendorf, Martinistraße 52, D-20246, Hamburg, Germany.
Purpose Of Review: Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) are rare entities arising from hormone producing cells in the gastroentero-pancreatic (GEP) tract. Surgery is the most common treatment of GEP-NETs.
Recent Findings: Improvements in surgical techniques allow for more locally advanced and metastasised GEP-NETs to be resected.
Outpatient total hip arthroplasty: robotic assistance reduces 90-Day postoperative events and optimizes outpatient care.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
January 2025
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nîmes, Nîmes, France.
Purpose: The adoption of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly widespread, yet its influence on outcomes in outpatient surgery remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate whether robotic assistance reduces the rate of 90-day postoperative events in patients undergoing outpatient THA, compared to those in inpatient procedures.
Methods: This historical-prospective cohort study analyzed 706 primary THA cases performed between January 2017 and January 2023 by three senior surgeons.
