Dynamic Motion Metrics for Objective Evaluation of Laparoscopic Camera Navigation Skill

Conference International Symposium on Medical Robotics Ismr · January 1, 2026 Quantifying surgical expertise is essential in surgical training programs and often requires capturing both the task outcome and the underlying dynamic motion of the system. This study presents a framework for objectively evaluating laparoscopic camera nav ... Full text Cite

Perioperative and Oncologic Outcomes of Hepatic Arterial Infusion (HAI) Pump Chemotherapy for Patients with Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases at an Expanding HAI Program.

Conference Ann Surg Oncol · February 2025 BACKGROUND: Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) is an established treatment for patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (uCRLM). Until recently, HAI was only performed at a limited number of centers. We previously reported early outcomes suggest ... Full text Link to item Cite

Abstract B052: Single-cell and spatial analysis of the immune landscape unveils a subset of potentially tumor-reactive T cells in patients with localized PDAC

Conference Cancer Research · September 15, 2024 AbstractEven in its localized stages, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is virtually incurable, characterized by early dissemination and disease recurrence. The liver is the most common site of metasta ... Full text Cite

Improving Bioimpedance-based Tissue Identification with Frequency Response Similarity Metrics.

Conference Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc · July 2024 Tissue identification is essential for surgeons to properly perform procedures and make informed decisions to minimize potential harm to patients. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) offers enhanced patient safety and outcomes at the cost of lost information ... Full text Link to item Cite

Abstract B022: A platform to characterize hepatic immunity reveals variation in hepatic infiltration of tumor expanded T cells in “localized” PDAC

Conference Cancer Research · January 16, 2024 AbstractEven in its earliest stages, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an essentially incurable disease due to the presence of disseminated, yet radiographically occult cancer cells in the setting o ... Full text Cite

Perioperative and oncologic outcomes of hepatic artery infusion pump therapy at an expanding HAI program.

Conference Journal of Clinical Oncology · February 1, 2022 120 Background: Hepatic artery infusion (HAI) is a liver directed therapy to treat unresectable or resected colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) and unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Historically, HAI has only bee ... Full text Cite

Vibration testing of laparoscopic surgical instruments under varying grip pressures

Conference Conference Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Mechanics Series · January 1, 2020 Many devices use vibration to provide sensory cues to a human user. In applications, such as smart phones, the vibratory sensory cue is somewhat simple and needs only to exceed a known threshold to signal the user; however, applications that require an ind ...

Defining the learning curve for team-based laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Conference Ann Surg Oncol · November 2014 BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to define the learning curves for laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) with and without laparoscopic reconstruction, using paired surgical teams consisting of advanced laparoscopic-trained surgeons and advanc ...
