A new study shows that complications after stent surgery are more common in individuals with diabetes. The results emphasise the importance of tailoring treatment strategies for this patient group.
NaoTrac is a fully autonomous surgical navigation robot designed to enhance precision, safety, and efficiency in neurosurgery. By integrating advanced technologies with the expertise of surgeons, NaoTrac streamlines surgical workflows, shortens the learning curve, and improves patient outcomes.
Engineers have developed a new surgical device for hip arthroscopy which they hope will completely change procedures in the hip region, making them safer and more efficient than before.
An expert summit for craniomaxillofacial (CMF) care brought together leading surgeons to explore how digital technologies are reshaping surgical planning, precision, and patient outcomes.
At the EANS neurosurgery congress in Vienna, Italian medical imaging company Esaote presented I-Genius, a new open MRI system designed to provide real time checks during glioma surgery.
Imaging specialist Fujifilm Healthcare Europe and the research and training institute IRCAD France have announced a collaboration focused on surgical education and research programs.
In metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), targeting residual disease through surgery can extend the benefits of EGFR TKI therapy beyond standard monotherapy, a new study finds.
Surgery or antibiotics? For the first time, a major clinical trial compared treatment options for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), or sinusitis – clearly favoring the surgical approach.
A novel procedure at UC San Diego Health uses a combination of artificial intelligence and 3D printing to develop a customized implant for the spine during fusion surgery.
An artificial heart valve made from SEBS, a new type of highly durable and biocompatible plastic, could be a step closer to use in humans, following a successful long-term safety test in animals.
Researchers report they have built a new non-toxic and non-radioactive handheld device that uses the unique properties of diamonds to diagnose metastasized breast cancer.
Lower income, higher BMI, less time and fewer resources to improve their health: A new study links social and environmental factors in patients from deprived areas to poorer outcomes in surgery.
New research finds that neurosurgery students receiving AI-augmented, personalized feedback from a human instructor have better surgical performance, risk management and skill transfer.
A new method to monitor blood flow in the brain helps neurosurgeons detect the risk of a stroke during surgery – and potentially prevent it. This could also be useful for other types of operations.
When should preventive mastectomy be offered for women at higher risk of breast cancer? A new evaluation model defines thresholds at which risk reducing surgery should be recommended.
A new, bacteria-based contrast agent illuminates tumors like a neon sign during surgery, enabling more precise resection and reducing the risk of recurrence.
By identifying the unique biological signatures that guide AI tissue classification, new research lays the foundation for smart surgical tools with the added feature of biomolecular-level precision.
Saving money, at a cost: To undergo bariatric and weight reduction surgery, more and more patients turn to institutions outside their home country – potentially putting their health at risk.
A potentially transformative advancement in surgical robotics: A robot trained on videos of surgeries successfully performed a lengthy phase of a gallbladder removal without human help.
