A robot has performed laparoscopic surgery on the soft tissue of a pig without the guiding hand of a human—a significant step toward fully automated surgery on humans. Designed by a team of Johns ...

Breast reconstruction has gained from lipofilling the possibility to recover the aesthetic outcome of anatomical profile in a more natural appearance. However, until today, the long-term graft ...

While robotic laparoscopic surgical systems do make certain procedures safer and less invasive, those systems are still operated by human surgeons. Now, however, a surgical robot has performed a ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have shown that an artificial intelligence-powered robot—trained on videos of previous surgeries—could learn how to perform the procedure itself, without help ...

In a major step toward autonomous healthcare, a robot successfully completed laparoscopic surgery on a pig without human backup. Designed by a team of Johns Hopkins University researchers, the Smart ...

Biological tissues for clinical use typically require gamma irradiation to achieve targeted sterility assurance level (SAL). Gamma radiation produces deleterious changes to physical and surface ...

In a landmark achievement in the field of medical innovation, an autonomous robotic system has successfully completed a complex surgical procedure without human intervention. This event marks a ...
