Double indocyanine green technique of robotic right colectomy: Introduction of a new technique

Reliability analysis of a robotic system using hybridized technique

In this manuscript, the reliability of a robotic system has been analyzed using the available data (containing vagueness, uncertainty, etc). Quantification of involved uncertainties is done through data fuzzification using triangular fuzzy numbers with known spreads as suggested by system experts. With fuzzified data, if the existing fuzzy lambda–tau (FLT) technique is employed, then the comput...

Applications of indocyanine green in robotic urology

Indocyanine green is a fluorescent molecule with wide ranging applications in minimally invasive urological surgery. This article explores the utility of ICG assisted intraoperative fluorescence in robotic urology.

Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Imaging Technique in Cardiovascular Surgery

The number of patients with arteriosclerotic disease requiring revascularization surgery such as coronary arterial bypass grafting (CABG) is increasing [1]. In CABG, off-pump CABG (OPCAB) has reduced incidence of operative mortality, which was reported to be as low as 0.6% in the Japanese database of 2009 cases and has enabled surgical treatment for those patients who could not tolerate convent...

Open vs totally laparoscopic right colectomy: technique and results

Background Right colectomy is the surgical treatment for malignant pathologies involving the intestinal tract between the ileocecal Bahuino valve and the colic hepatic flexure. Laparoscopic resection must respect the same oncological criteria as the open approach including: ‘’no-touch isolation technique’’, isolation and ligation of the vascular pedicles at the origin, oncological lymphadenecto...
