Keeping surgeons in the loop: are handheld robotics the best path towards more autonomous actions? (A comparison of complete vs. handheld robotic hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases)

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence Surgery is a surgical journal that focuses on the interface of computers and the art of surgery. The aim of this journal is to create a space for discourse in terms of topics related to artificial intelligence (AI) in surgery such as smart surgical technology/digital surgery, computer-assisted surgical systems and surgical data science. The intention research direction on robotics includes clinical and technological work on tele-manipulation, robotic-assisted technologies, robotic Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) and fully autonomous robots.
