Open Surgery Offers Better Survival Chances than Minimally Invasive Surgery for Cervical Cancer
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) was associated with lower survival rates than open surgery as a treatment for cervical cancer, according to the final analysis of data from the Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer (LACC) trial. More...22 Mar 2022
AI-Guided Handheld Surgical Robot Can Stem Fatal Blood Loss
A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA) and physicians at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH, Boston, MA, USA) have developed a handheld platform technology that has the potential to help personnel with simple training to quickly install a catheter into a common femoral vessel, enabling rapid treatment at the point of injury.

Breakthrough Ultrasound Technology Offers Disruptive, Non-Invasive Treatment Option for Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis is a degenerative and potentially life-threatening condition, caused by calcium build-up which prevents the aortic valve from fully opening, leading to heart failure. The only current medical response is to replace the aortic valve with open heart surgery, or with a minimally invasive percutaneous valve (TAVI). Now, a new non-invasive treatment combining therapeutic ultrasound, robotics and ultrasound imaging brings great hope for patients with aortic stenosis and for their families. More...17 Mar 2022
AI-Assisted Endoscopy System Improves Polyp Detection Accuracy versus Standard Colonoscopy
New study findings have shown that artificial intelligence (AI) technology-assisted coloscopy improves the accuracy of polyp detection, which plays an important role in the prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC). More...17 Mar 2022
Tiny Gold Particles Sprayed in Conjunction with Coronary Artery Bypass Surgeries Could Treat Heart Disease
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, claiming roughly 18 million lives each year. Now, a new approach that might one day be used in conjunction with coronary artery bypass surgeries involves a spray-on technology using customized nanoparticles of one of the world’s most precious metals offers tremendous therapeutic potential and could eventually help save many lives.

Game Changing MRI-Compatible Robotics Platform to Improve Patient Outcomes in Neurosurgery
AiM Medical Robotics (Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA) is developing an industry-first MRI-compatible robotics platform, which is designed to improve outcomes for patients undergoing neurosurgery and provide cost savings to hospitals by eliminating errors and reducing procedure time by up to 50%. More...16 Mar 2022
Anti-Inflammatory Drug Incorporated Into Silicone Coating Reduces Foreign Body Reaction to Implants
Long-term use of implantable electronic medical devices – such as pacemakers and cochlear implants – is hampered by the body’s reaction to foreign bodies. Now, a new study in mice has shown that this reaction can be dramatically reduced by incorporating an anti-inflammatory drug into the silicone coating around the implant. The study by a team led by scientists at the University of Cambridge (Cambridge, UK) found that this prevented the foreign body reaction without affecting tissue regeneration. More...16 Mar 2022
