High-Speed 3D Microscope Sees Real-Time Cellular Detail in Living Tissues to Guide Surgery
For many medical procedures, particularly cancer surgery and screening, it is common for doctors to take a biopsy, cutting out small pieces of tissue to be able to take a closer look at them with a microscope. Now, a new high-speed 3D microscope can see real-time cellular detail in living tissues to guide surgery, speed up tissue analyses, and improve treatments. More...29 Mar 2022
Surgical Rehearsal Technology Uses 3D Kidney Models to Replicate Human Tissue
Traditionally, surgeons utilize 2D imaging studies and occasionally 3D imaging reconstructions to understand a patient's particular anatomy and tumor configuration. However, training on anatomical models with hard plastic and no pathologies defeats the purpose of surgical simulation. Now, for the first time now, surgeons can rehearse on realistic copies of patients' organs before operating on the patient. More...29 Mar 2022
Single Implant Device Provides `One-and-Done` Solution for Peripheral Vascular Occlusion
Peripheral vascular embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks or reduces blood flow in blood vessels. Now, a new device combines a flexible catheter assembly and a non-porous, balloon-like gold implant for easy delivery, precise placement, and immediate vessel occlusion. More...29 Mar 2022
Adjustable Implant System Improves Heart Structure and Heart-Lung Function
Cardiovascular diseases are the world's leading cause of death, with more than three-quarters of these deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Now, the first and only minimally invasive adjustable heart-lung system brings affordability, accessibility, and the potential to save millions of lives in the developed and developing world.

Wireless Camera System for Minimally Invasive Surgery Improves OR Productivity and Safety
Lazurite’s (Cleveland, OH, USA) ArthroFree System is the first and only wireless camera system for minimally invasive surgery to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) market clearance and provides freedom of movement in the operating room never experienced earlier by surgeons.

Post-Surgery Tissue Monitoring and Diagnostic System Detects Anastomotic Leaks after GI Surgery
Anastomotic (AI) leak is a common, life threatening complication of gastrointestinal (GI) surgeries such as colorectal and bariatric. Early detection before clinical manifestation of AI leak is key to a favorable outcome, but diagnosis at this stage is difficult. Now, a tissue monitoring and diagnostic system is being studied for the early detection of AI leaks following low anterior resection GI surgery. More...25 Mar 2022
Magnetic Tentacle Robot Reaches Smallest Bronchial Tubes in Lungs to Take Tissue Samples
Engineers and scientists have paved the way for a robot that can reach some of the smallest bronchial tubes in the lungs – to take tissue samples or deliver cancer therapy. Known as a magnetic tentacle robot, the device measures just two millimeters in diameter, about twice the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen. Magnets on the outside of the patient will be used to guide the magnetic tentacle robot into place. More...23 Mar 2022
