Not even the surest surgeon's hand is quite as steady and consistent as a robotic arm built of metal and plastic, programmed to perform the same motions over and over. And limited robotic automation ...

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare malignant tumors arising from connective tissues such as muscle, fat, and blood vessels, ...

As more procedures migrate from hospitals to outpatient settings, robotic surgery is following suit — but not all technologies are designed with ASCs in mind. At Becker’s 31st Annual Meeting, ...

Imagine this scenario: A surgeon is set to suture pieces of soft tissue on a patient, but instead of doing the whole procedure by himself, he turns to a surgical robot for assistance. Suturing soft ...

Its name is STAR. And on Wednesday, scientists reported that the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot could stitch together separate pieces of the bowel in pigs, the first time a surgical robot has completed ...

Surgeons and scientists have demonstrated that supervised, autonomous robotic soft tissue surgery on a live subject (in vivo) in an open surgical setting is feasible and outperforms standard clinical ...

Humans make mistakes. Even surgeons, who train intensively for years and adhere to exacting protocols, are not infallible. But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experiences together ...

With a bulky camera eye and spindly hydraulic arm, this medical robot looks like it could fit in on an automotive production line. This bot isn't building a Toyota, though. It carefully scans soft, ...
