DOI: 10.1055/a-2008-0272
Abstract: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an established treatment for superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasms (SESCNs) [1, 2]. However, it is time-consuming and challenging for large SESCNs, especially circumferential lesions. Endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/09544119221083140
Abstract: While performing musculoskeletal long bone fracture reduction surgery, assistant surgeons can often suffer from physical fatigue as they provide resistance against the tension from surrounding muscles pulling on the patient’s broken bones. These days, robotic… read more here.
