This study aimed to describe robot-assisted vena cava reconstruction by summarising surgical strategies and perioperative outcomes.
Methods
A retrospective review was performed on all robotic surgeries involving dissection and repair of the inferior vena cava (IVC) at our institution. Patient characteristics, operative reports, and follow-up visits were analysed.
Results
Thirty-nine patients underwent robot assisted surgery of the vena cava from 2016 to 2023. The median postoperative hospital stay of all patients was 7 days, and the median estimated blood loss (EBL) was 550 mL. The median IVC clamping time was 23 min, and IVC wall invasion was pathologically identified in five cases. No patients had liver or kidney dysfunction at the last follow-up.
Conclusion
Our initial experiences demonstrate that it is safe and feasible for experienced surgeons to perform robot-assisted vena cava reconstruction in highly selected patients.

This study aims to accelerate revision surgery and treatment using X-ray imaging and deep learning to identify shoulder implant manufacturers in advance.
Methods
A feature engineering approach based on principal component analysis and a k-means algorithm was used to cluster shoulder implant data. In addition, a pre-trained DenseNet201 combined with a capsule network (DenseNet201-Caps) shoulder implant classification model was proposed.
Results
DenseNet201-Caps was the most effective classification model on the clustered dataset with an accuracy of 94.25% and an F1 score of 96.30%. Notably, clustering the dataset in advance improved the accuracy and the Caps implementations successfully enhanced the performance of all convolutional neural network models. The analysed results indicate that DenseNet201-Caps struggled to distinguish between the Cofield and Depuy manufacturers. Hence, a multistage classification approach was developed with an improved accuracy of 96.55% achieved.
Conclusions
The DenseNet201-Caps method enables the accurate identification of shoulder implant manufacturers.

We have previously reported a saline-linked bipolar clamp-crush technique as a novel robotic liver resection method. Herein, we present the surgical techniques and outcomes of robotic left hepatectomy using the Glissonean approach and our liver transection technique.
Methods
The key procedures included the following: (1) encircling the left Glissonean pedicle using the Tip-Up fenestrated grasper, (2) dissecting the liver parenchyma using the saline-linked bipolar clamp-crush technique, (3) moving the endoscope one trocar to the right to facilitate visualisation of the liver transection plane, and (4) stapling the left pedicle and left hepatic vein. Seven robotic left hepatectomies were performed.
Results
The median operative time and estimated blood loss were 395 min and 50 mL, respectively. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 9 days. Pneumothorax was the only severe postoperative complication.
Conclusions
Robotics left hepatectomy using the Glissonean approach and the saline-linked bipolar clamp-crush technique appears safe and feasible.

The Shurui® system (SR-ENS-600) is a novel fully integrated single-port robotic system with bioinspired serpentine surgical manipulators and a camera.
Methods
This was a single-centre prospective case-series study according to the IDEAL stage 2a guidelines to evaluate the feasibility, safety and potential efficacy of the Shurui® system for gynaecological surgeries and to improve the operating process.
Results
Ten patients with a gradient of surgical difficulty who had indications for laparoscopic surgery and who volunteered to participate in a clinical trial were enrolled in the study. All 10 subjects successfully completed the procedure without converting to other procedures. No serious complications were reported at the 3-month follow-up. Subjects recover faster after surgery and are highly satisfied with the incision.
Conclusions
Gynaecological single-site laparoscopic surgery with the Shurui® system was technically feasible for well-selected patients with minimal alterations in technique. Further prospective multicenter large-sample studies are necessary.

This study aimed to investigate the perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RLP) using the recently launched hinotori surgical robot system.
Methods
This retrospective study compared the perioperative outcomes of 11 consecutive patients who underwent RLP with the hinotori surgical robot system from October 2022 to March 2024 (hinotori group) and 30 consecutive patients who underwent RLP with the da Vinci system from March 2019 to September 2022 (da Vinci group).
Results
The patient characteristics of the groups were similar. The median operative times in the hinotori and da Vinci groups were 236.0 and 231.5 min, respectively (p = 0.480). The success rates were 100.0% and 96.7%, respectively (p = 1.000). Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ 3 complications occurred in one patient (9.1%) in the hinotori group and one patient (3.3%) in the da Vinci group (p = 0.470).
Conclusions
The perioperative outcomes in the hinotori group were not inferior to those in the da Vinci group.

Background
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an effective treatment for early-stage gastrointestinal cancers. However, traditional surgical instruments lack accuracy and force-sensing.
Methods
A new type of continuum robot for ESD is designed. An accurate static model of the proposed continuum robot is established, considering cases where the robot bends into C-shapes and S-shapes. A force estimation method based on an accurate static model is proposed. Then, the accuracy of the static model and force estimation is verified through experiments. Finally, an ex-organ experiment is carried out.
Results
The average position error of the proposed static model is 0.72 mm, accounting for 2.57% of the total robot length. The average error of force estimation is 19.53 mN. By gripping and cutting ex-porcine gastric mucosa, the robot's functionality is validated.
Conclusion
This paper contributes to precise control and safe interaction of continuum robots.

Precise dose position distribution is crucial for ocular proton therapy.
Methods
A non-invasive eye positioning and tracking system with novel structure is designed to reduce eye movement and facilitate precise dose by guiding the direction of patients' gaze. The system helps to achieve gaze guidance by controlling the light source fixed on two turntables above the patient's face. Tracking of the eye is achieved by cameras attached to the end of a 6DOFs robotic arm to capture the image reflected from a mirror above the patient's face.
Results
After all operation steps, the accuracy of the robotic arm is 0.18 mm (SD 0.25 mm) and the accuracy of the turntables is 0.01° (SD 0.02°). The EPTS is tested to be remotely controlled in real time with sufficient precision and repeatability.
Conclusion
The system is expected to improve the safety and efficiency of ocular proton therapy.

Background
Master–slave remote control technology allows patients to be treated promptly during transport and also reduces the risk of contagious infections. Endotracheal intubation, guided by endoscopy and a master–slave system, enables doctors to perform the procedure efficiently and accurately.
Methods
In this paper, we present the development of a master–slave controlled endotracheal intubation robot (EIR). It is based on operation incremental mapping, a weighted recursive average filtering method to reduce vibration, and a virtual fixture designed to reduce mishandling in minimally invasive surgery.
Results
Simulation analysis of the master–slave control demonstrates that the weighted recursive average filtering method effectively reduces vibration, while the virtual fixture assists in confining the operator's movement within a delimited area. Experimental validation confirms the validity of the robot's structural design and control method.
Conclusions
The developed robot successfully achieves the necessary motion for endotracheal intubation surgery through master–slave control.

Millions of patients suffering from eye disease cannot receive proper treatment due to the lack of qualified surgeons. Medical robots have the potential to solve this problem and have attracted significant attention in the research community.
Method
This paper proposes a novel parallel robot with a remote centre of motion for minimally invasive eye surgery. Kinematics models, singularity and workspace analyses, and dimension optimisation are conducted. A prototype was developed, and experiments were conducted to test its mobility, accuracy, precision and stiffness.
Results
The prototype robot can successfully perform the required motions, and has a precision ranging from 7 ± 2 μm to 30 ± 8 μm, accuracy from 21 ± 10 μm to 568 ± 374 μm, and stiffness ranging from 1.22 ± 0.39 N/mm to 10.53 ± 5.18 N/mm.
Conclusion
The prototype robot has a great potential for performing the minimally invasive surgery. Its stiffness meets the design requirement, but its accuracy and precision need to be further improved.
