As robotic cholecystectomy, also known as gallbladder removal, becomes increasingly common, researchers have identified higher rates of bile duct injury in robotic cholecystectomy compared to the ...

Each year, approximately 2,000 people die annually of gallbladder cancer (GBC) in the U.S., with only one in five cases diagnosed at an early stage. With GBC rated as the first biliary tract cancer ...

SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 12 (UPI) --Surgeons in Chile performed a pioneering gallbladder operation with the support of the MARS platform, a system that combines precision robotic technology with ...

New artificial intelligence (AI) research brings digital health care a step closer toward fully autonomous robotic surgery. A recent landmark study led by Johns Hopkins University created an AI model ...

Huntington Hospital reports performing New York’s first single-port robotic gallbladder removal. The hospital reports completing Suffolk’s first single-port thoracic operation. Single-port surgery ...

The optimal use of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic approaches for emergency gallbladder surgery is not well-defined. Rates of bile duct injury were similar with both surgical approaches, a large ...

SHREVEPORT, La. - Gallbladder removal and hernia repair are among the most frequently performed general surgeries in the U.S. Now these procedures are being transformed by robotic-assisted surgery, ...

A robot trained on videos of surgeries performed a lengthy phase of a gallbladder removal without human help. The robot operated for the first time on a lifelike patient, and during the operation, ...

Robotic-assisted surgery allows surgeons to operate with greater precision using a high-definition, 3D view. The surgeon remains in full control of the robotic instruments from a console during the ...
