A robotic surgical system such as the one pictured here was trained by Johns Hopkins researchers to successfully perform lengthy gallbladder removal procedures without human help, according to a study ...

The painful spasms of a gallbladder attack often begin suddenly (sometimes after eating a fatty meal) and may last several hours. The attack is caused by one or more gallstones getting stuck in the ...

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 ...

The robotic surgery market leader’s single port system can now be used in inguinal hernia repair, gallbladder removal and ...

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 ...

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, ...

Robotic-assisted cholecystectomy was tied to a 0.7% rate of bile duct injury that required definitive surgical reconstruction within 1 year compared with a 0.2% rate for laparoscopic cholecystectomy ...

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 ...

The development of a fully autonomous surgical robot represents a great achievement in the integration of artificial intelligence and medicine. For the first time, a robotic system was able to perform ...

While rates of bile duct injury were similar with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy among adults receiving acute care surgery, the robotic-assisted approach was ...

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 ...
