An inside look at how Da Vinci robotics is changing surgery.

In a milestone that could pave the way for robotic surgery on humans, a robot successfully performed operations on four pigs. The findings are detailed in a study published Wednesday. This advance in ...

Robotic surgical tools (around 8 millimetres in diameter) have been used for decades in keyhole surgery for other parts of the body. The challenge has been making a tool small enough (3mm in diameter) ...

A maternal nag familiar to the ears of many young gamers usually follows the lines of “you’re wasting your life in front of a console.” Browbeaten controller wielders rejoice—a new study from the ...

Carla Muss-Jacobs didn't give much thought to the tools her surgeon would use to replace her knee. Like most patients, she just wanted to feel better and trusted that any devices in the operating room ...

Artificial intelligence (AI), defined as algorithms that enable machines to perform cognitive functions (such as problem solving and decision-making), has changed for some time now the face of ...

Over the past two decades, advances in surgical techniques have dramatically reduced the invasiveness of many medical procedures. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), robotic-assisted interventions, and ...

FALL RIVER — If robotic-assisted surgery makes you think of characters from 1960s TV cartoons or science fiction movies, think again. At Saint Anne’s Hospital, robotic-assisted technologies have been ...

Microincision cataract surgery (MICS) is an approach to cataract surgery through incision less than 1.8 mm with the purpose of reducing surgical invasiveness, improving at the same time surgical ...
