Introduction Nasojejunal tubes (NJT) are traditionally inserted endoscopically (via oral route with subsequent mouth to nose transfer) or radiologically. The oral route is uncomfortable for patients ...

In this paper, we described the development of an endoscopic system with the application of minimally invasive observation for a pituitary tumor or a craniopharyngioma. The end-effector was ...

We recreate a typical use case with a test environment that simulates a transnasal intervention through the sphenoidal sinus including a simulated continuum robot. Distance information is mapped to ...

With the force exertion and curvilinear flexibility at their distal end effectors, the continuum tubular robots have the potential to perform robot-assisted trans-orifice minimally invasive surgery, ...

来自某医疗机构的研究人员针对蝶窦内滞留子弹这一罕见病例，通过内窥镜鼻窦手术 (ESS)结合经鼻中隔入路，成功为一名62岁男性患者取出毗邻颈内动脉 (ICA)的金属异物。研究证实，在CT精准导航下，即使面对合并眶壁粉碎性骨折等高危因素，现代微创技术仍能实现零出血、零脑脊液 (CSF)漏的安全移除，为颌面部创伤后异物处理提供了黄金24小时干预的新证据。

According to a press release, a transnasal endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak was performed using duragen, a collagen based biomaterial, instead of a traditional autograft. The ...

This document represents the first position statement produced by the British Society of Gastroenterology and Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland, setting out ...

There are other components of caring knowledge, however, and Carper's Patterns of Knowing in Nursing [7] are particularly germane for the advanced practice nurse. In addition, Taylor discusses the ...
