Imaging Technology Illuminates Lung Cancer Tumors to Make Surgical Removal Easier
A study aims to further advance an intraoperative imaging technology that illuminates tumor tissue and can make it easier and safer for both clinicians and patients to remove tumors on or in the lungs. More...28 Jun 2022
Smart Laparoscopic Tool Allows Surgeons to “Feel” Tissues During Minimally-Invasive Surgery
Researchers have developed a simple, yet effective approach for on-demand tactile sensing in minimally-invasive surgery, overcoming the key limitation of the inability of surgeons to “feel” tissues during an operation. More...27 Jun 2022
3D-Printed “Meta-Bots” Could Pave Way for Robotic Self-Steering Endoscopes
A new design strategy and 3D printing technique to build robots in one single step could lead to development of biomedical robots, such as self-steering endoscopes or tiny swimming robots, which can emit ultrasounds and navigate themselves near blood vessels to deliver drug doses at specific target sites inside the body.

Simple Ablation Procedure Has Best Outcomes, Finds Global Atrial Fibrillation Study
Results from one of the largest global studies of atrial fibrillation (AFib) procedures show that the simple approach is usually best when it comes to ablation, a procedure where physicians destroy or ablate cardiac tissue to correct irregular heart rhythms. More...24 Jun 2022
MRI and CT Predicts Flap Failure After Head and Neck Reconstructive Cancer Surgery
When a patient with head and neck cancer has surgery to remove it, they often need reconstructive surgery in the form of a “free flap”, which is skin and tissue taken from a different part of the body and connected to the blood vessels of the wound in need of repair. Now, a study has found that early postoperative CT scans and MRIs can help predict whether a flap will fail, which could allow surgeons to intervene earlier. More...24 Jun 2022
