New horizons for patient safety: LIGRA (LIfe Guard for Robotic surgery Assistance) An interactive platform centralizing information and control in robotic surgery Operating Rooms

Hannes Bleuler

The present paper describes LIGRA, an innovative technological solution developed in the context of the SAFROS co-funded EU project. Its general goal is to improve patient safety during minimal invasive robotic surgery. Focusing on the risks introduced in ...

Enabling efficient OS paging for main-memory OLTP databases

Anastasia Ailamaki, Radu Ioan Stoica

Even though main memory is becoming large enough to fit most OLTP databases, it may not always be the best option. OLTP workloads typically exhibit skewed access patterns where some records are hot (frequently accessed) but many records are cold (infrequen ...

Robotic system for cervical spine surgery

Charles Baur

Background In contemporary surgical clinical practice, spinal instability is often treated with mechanical stabilization techniques in order to protect the spinal cord and nerve roots. These techniques involve placing screws in defined regions of the verte ...

Increasing Haptic Fidelity and Ergonomics in Teleoperated Surgery

Laura Santos Carreras

Over the past few decades, surgical procedures have made enormous progress, shifting from traditional open procedures to less and less invasive approaches, with the promise of smaller incisions, less complications, better cosmetic results and shorter recov ...

Survey on Surgical Instrument Handle Design: Ergonomics and Acceptance

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Laura Santos Carreras

Minimally invasive surgical approaches have revolutionized surgical care and considerably improved surgical outcomes. The instrumentation has changed significantly from open to laparoscopic and robotic surgery with various usability and ergonomics qualitie ...

Modern cataract surgery for radiation-induced cataracts in retinoblastoma

Alessia Pica

Background Surgery of radiation-induced cataracts in children with retinoblastoma (RB) is a challenge as early intervention is weighted against the need to delay surgery until complete tumour control is obtained. This study analyses the safety and function ...

Changes in Hox genes' structure and function during the evolution of the squamate body plan

Denis Duboule

Hox genes are central to the specification of structures along the anterior-posterior body axis, and modifications in their expression have paralleled the emergence of diversity in vertebrate body plans. Here we describe the genomic organization of Hox clu ...

VR simulation of interventional radiology and microsurgery

Fei Wang

Currently trainees typically learn surgery techniques directly on mocks, animals or cadavers. For safety, cost and ethics reasons, one cannot try all possible strategies to achieve efficient learning. Virtual Reality (VR) based surgery training systems int ...
