Summary: Telesurgical robotics has achieved global clinical adoption as the first domain within medicosurgical robotics. However, its market penetration is still relatively low. The adoption of telesurgical robotics has not reached its full potential due to technical complexity and financial burden. Emerging telesurgical technologies, incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions, offer significant advantages in clinical practice.

Summary: This observational pilot study compared thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for pain control after robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE). Results showed that TEA provided better and longer-lasting pain relief compared to PCA. TEA was also associated with reduced length of hospital stay. Therefore, TEA may be superior to PCA for postoperative pain management in RAMIE patients.

Summary: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) offers advantages such as minimum blood loss and quick recovery time, but lacks tactile feedback and sufficient visualization of the surgical site. This article introduces an online preprocessing framework that addresses the visualization challenges associated with MIS. The proposed method provides a clean and sharp image in the standard RGB color space from noisy, blurred, and raw inputs in a single preprocessing step, outperforming existing solutions in high-level vision tasks with reduced computation time.

Summary: Objective skill assessment is crucial in surgical training, which can be conducted using kinematic or visual input data driven by algorithms. This paper presents a 2D image-based solution for surgical skill assessment, offering the possibility of assessment in any training environment. The proposed method achieved high accuracy levels, demonstrating its potential for improving classification accuracy in surgical skill assessment tasks.

Summary: A structure optimization method for the master manipulator was proposed, which ensured a large workspace and good kinematic performance through optimization index and reasonable weight coefficients. This improved the comfort of the surgeon and effectively avoided communication interruption issues due to a small workspace.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical performance and survivorship of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using dual mobility articulation in elderly patients with neuromuscular disease and femoral neck fractures. The results showed that in terms of pain, clinical scores, dislocation rate, and reoperation rate, there were no significant differences between the neuromuscular disease group and the non-neuromuscular disease group. Additionally, the study suggests that THA with dual mobility articulation is a reasonable option for treating femoral neck fractures in elderly patients with neuromuscular disease.

Summary: This study found that the major reasons for CoC THA revision were ceramic fracture and cup or stem loosening. Among them, revisions for third-generation ceramic bearings were more commonly related to bearing issues compared to fourth-generation ceramic bearings. Younger age, lower ASA grade, and preoperative diagnosis of osteonecrosis were factors associated with CoC THA revisions due to bearing-related problems.

Summary: This study investigated acetabular erosion after bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) according to the difference in diameter between the femoral head and implanted cup at a minimum 10-year follow-up. The results showed that patients with a larger cup size had more severe acetabular erosion and required more total hip arthroplasty surgeries.

Summary: This study aimed to report the characteristics, incidences, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of Iliopsoas tendinopathy (IPT) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). IPT occurred in 3.3% of the patients who underwent THA, and leg lengthening and prominent acetabular cup were associated with its development. Arthroscopic tenotomy was effective in relieving groin pain caused by IPT.

Summary: Inflammatory environments can provide important biochemical stimuli for triggered drug delivery in a controlled manner. pH-sensitive nanomaterials can effectively target drugs to the site of inflammation due to the altered local pH. In this study, pH-responsive nanoparticles were designed by complexing resveratrol and urocanic acid with a pH-sensitive moiety. The nanoparticles showed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules and the generation of reactive oxygen species.
