Bladder cancer ranks as the 10th most common cancer globally. Currently, the standard surgical approach for bladder tumor removal involves transurethral piecemeal resection, which carries high recurrence (60%) and perforation (12%) rates. Although various techniques and robotic systems have been developed for en-bloc tumor resection, achieving a negative resection margin … [Read more...] about Transurethral Surgical Robot: Achieving Efficient En Bloc Resection of Bladder Tumor

Augmented Reality and Human–Robot Collaboration Framework for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: System Design, Implementation, and Performance Metrics
During percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) operations, the surgeon is required to define the incision point on the patient’s back, align the needle to a preplanned path, and perform puncture operations afterward. The procedure is currently performed manually using ultrasound or fluoroscopy imaging for needle orientation, which, however, implies limited accuracy and low … [Read more...] about Augmented Reality and Human–Robot Collaboration Framework for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: System Design, Implementation, and Performance Metrics
