Robotic inguinal hernia repair with the new Hugo RAS < sup > TM < /sup > system: first worldwide case series report
Conclusions: The modular design of independent arms seems to enhance maneuverability of the instruments and contribute to fewer arm collisions. Further clinical data and experience with this new surgical system are necessary to understand if this new design has advantages over the standard robotic platforms.PMID:37603037 | DOI:10.1080/13645706.2023.2248243 (Source: Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies)

Diode laser use in hysteroscopic surgery: current status and future perspectives
Minim Invasive Ther Allied Technol. 2023 Aug 16:1-10. doi: 10.1080/13645706.2023.2247483. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent advances in surgical technology and innovative techniques have revolutionized surgical gynecology, including transcervical hysteroscopic procedures. Surgical lasers (Nd-Yag, Argon, diode, and CO2 lasers) have been promoted to remove a variety of gynecological pathologies. For hysteroscopic surgery, the diode laser represents the most versatile and feasible innovation, with simultaneous cut and coagulate action, providing improved hemostasis compared with CO2 laser. The newest diode laser devices ex...
