Robotic Assisted Esophageal Surgery

Robotic Intercostal Nerve Graft:Video Assisted Thoracic Sympathectomy for hyperhydrosis sometimes results in debilitating compensatory sweating. Our lab proposes a novel treatment to reverse sympathectomy by implantation of an intercostal nerve graft using the da Vinci robot.
Robotic Assisted Esophageal Surgery

Robotic Assisted Esophageal Surgery: As a pliable muscular tube that spans three body compartments in close proximity to the great vessels, the esophagus and its anatomic design impart formidable challenges for the surgeon.

Robotic Notes Image Reversal Algorithm

Robotic NOTES Image Reversal Algorithm: Robotic NOTES that applies a third-party endoscope with the robotic instruments of the DaVinci System that have seven degrees of freedom highlights problems of mirrored views in each spatial dimension.
Robotic Fluoroscopic Image Overlay

Robotic Fluoroscopic Image Overlay:The Da Vinci operator console has a great capacity to incorporate various data inputs and make them available to the operating surgeon. The aim of our experiment was to evaluate current design and technological limitations of the robotic system that need to be overcome in the incorporation of imaging and video modalities.
Techniques of Robotic Suturing

Robotic Suturing: Hypothetical benefits of telerobotic surgery over traditional minimally invasive instrumentation are provided through tremor filtration, motion scaling, articulation and improved ergonomics.

Robotic Thymectomy for Mediastinal Parathyroid

Robotic Thymectomy for Mediastinal Parathyroid: Currently several surgical approaches are used for thymectomy in patients for benign disease. This video demonstrates a robotic thymectomy performed for resection of a mediastinal parathyroid gland.
Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Repair of Internal Hernia after RYGB Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Repair of Internal Hernia after RYGB: If the Roux-limb is retrocolic and antegastric there are three mesenteric defects in which the small bowel can be engaged: the jejuno-jejunostomy mesenteric defect, the mesocolic defect, and the Petersen’s space.
Thoracic Coarctation Associated Aneurysm with Antegrade Endovascular Repair

Thoracic Coarctation-Associated Aneurysm with Antegrade Endovascular Repair: This is a unique case of antegrade endovascular repair of a distal coarctation-associated aneurysm with vascular access acquired through the aortic arch by an upper hemi-sternotomy which avoids the morbidity associated with conventional reoperative thoracic repair.
Robotic Assisted CABG Using and Endoscopic Stabilizer

Robotic Assisted CABG Using an Endoscopic Stabilizer: This video highlights some research work at St. Lukes Roosevelt Hospital performed during the early development of robotic procedures with the use of a device that allows the coronary arteries to be held stable during suturing during CABG.
