Background: We aim to analyze the safety and feasibility of the DaVinci SP platform in general surgery.

Methods: A prospective series of robotic SP transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernia repairs (SP-TAPP) and cholecystectomies (SP-C) (off-label) were analyzed. Primary endpoints were safety and feasibility defined by the need for conversion and incidence of perioperative complications. Read More

To look for the reason why the biped animal in nature can run with such high speed and to design a bionic biped prototype which can behave the high speed running and jumping ability, this paper takes the fastest bipedal animal in nature: ostrich as the research subject. Firstly, the body structure and motion characteristics of ostrich are investigated. Secondly, a simple mechanical structure of bionic ostrich robot is designed based on the above biological investigated results. Read More

There is a large variability in profitability and productivity between farms operating with automatic milking systems (AMS). The objectives of this study were to identify the physical factors associated with profitability and productivity of pasture-based AMS and quantify how changes in these factors would affect farm productivity. We utilised two different datasets collected between 2015 and 2019 with information from commercial pasture-based AMS farms. Read More

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the application of oxycodone in anesthesia induction and overall management of Da Vinci robot-assisted nephrectomy.

Methods: A total of 42 patients undergoing Da Vinci robot-assisted nephrectomy with general anesthesia were selected. They were randomly divided into 2 groups: patients were induced with oxycodone (oxycodone group) and were induced with sufentanil (sufentanil group). Read More

Background: The sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedures using indocyanine green (ICG) have recently been performed worldwide. The aim of this study was to emphasize the safety of robot-assisted modified radical hysterectomy (RAMRH) with removal of the lymphatic vessels (RLV) using ICG in endometrial cancer according to a single surgeon's experience.

Methods: RAMRH with RLV using ICG was performed in patients with endometrial cancer. Read More
