Radiofrequecy ablation is the most widely used local ablative therapy for both primary and
metastatic liver tumours. However, it has limited application in the treatment of large tumours …

Overlap** radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in large tumor treatment requires multiple
insertions of electrodes, which often compromise its efficacy and predictability. Surgical …

Robots play an increasingly important role in the development of minimally invasive surgery
(MIS). In MIS assistant robot systems, the remote center of motion (RCM) mechanism is a …

The purpose of this work is to introduce an ultrasound image-based intraoperative scheme
for rigid endoscope localization during minimally invasive fetoscopic surgery. Positional …

This study considers the control problem of networked control systems (NCSs) concerning
both bounded channel uncertainty and packet loss. First, the authors deal with the problems …

A robotic surgical system capable of performing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is
proposed in this paper. Based on the requirements of MIS, a compliant, seven-degrees of …

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation delivered through interventional procedure is a good
alternative to hepatic resection or liver transplant for treatment of liver tumor. However …

Reducing the invasiveness is an important task in surgery. In percutaneous surgery, it is
always required to insert surgical tools from a single insertion port (SIP) on patient skin. In …

Enhancement in the efficiency of surgical proficiency training system requires a continuous
effort in surgical care atmosphere without any risk factor and it is known as a complex and …

This study aims to develop a robotic system human–machine interaction (HMI) to facilitate
surgical training through visual and kinaesthetic feedbacks. This is motivated by the …
