System Setup Our data-collection setup is shown in Fig. 2. We use the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) Si version [[35]], a widely available research variant of the clinical Da Vinci system. A Soft Tissue Suture Pad (3-D Med, OH) serves as the task surface, and we use a green braided polyester suture (3-0 Ethibond…

Operating under magnification is a challenging but vital skill that all ophthalmologists must develop. From repairing an open globe, to suturing a rectus muscle, or closing a trabeculectomy flap, basic suturing using a microscope (or loupes) is an essential skill. Since ocular tissues are so delicate, it is important…

'Subramanian Sundarrajan'] With the increasing demand for wound healing around the world, the level of medical equipment is also increasing, but sutures are still the preferred medical equipment for medical personnel to solve wound closures. Compared with the traditional sutures, the nanofiber sutures produced by…

—Surgical suturing is a high-precision task that impacts patient healing and scarring. Suturing skill varies widely between surgeons, highlighting the need for robot assistance. Previous robot suturing works, such as STITCH 1.0 [[1]], struggle to fully close wounds due to inaccurate needle tracking and poor thread…

Introduction Suturing is a fundamental component of surgical procedures, wherein training emphasises the significance of gentle tissue handling. The suturing process involves the pressure exerted by the forceps onto the tissue, as well as the medial traction force applied to stabilise the tissue during the needle bite.…

This study compared widely used nonabsorbable and monofilament suture materials tied with three different configurations and two different suture techniques. Three suture materials (polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene, and nylon) were tied with either Laurell-Gottlow or the horizontal mattress suturing techniques…

Blood vessels anastomosis is one of the most challenging and delicate tasks to learn in many surgical specialties, especially for vascular and abdominal surgeons. Such a critical skill implies a learning curve that goes beyond technical execution. The surgeon needs to gain proficiency in adapting gestures and the…

Surgical ligatures are a critical component of any surgical procedure since they are the device that provides immediate post-surgical tissue apposition. There have been several studies to improve the design and use of these wound closure devices for different surgical procedures. Yet, there is no standardized technique…

Biomimetic tubular scaffolds hold great promise for tackling unmet clinical needs thanks to their biocompatibility and recapitulation of cellular microenvironments, conferring the ability to promote regeneration. Potential applications include small-diameter vascular implants and grafts for airway repair, for which no…

While often life-saving, surgical resectioning of diseased tissues puts patients at risk for post-operative complications. Sutures and staples are well-accepted and routinely used to reconnect tissues, however, their mechanical mismatch with biological soft tissue and invasiveness contribute to wound healing…

The cornea, situated at the forefront of the eyeball, is often subjected to varying degrees of mechanical laceration injuries due to various traumatic incidents. Timely and precise suturing of corneal wounds to prevent the leakage of intraocular contents is a significant clinical challenge. Although some studies have…

Cardiac patches for repairing myocardial defects require mechanically stable materials that prevent bleeding and can be implanted via suturing. The current clinical standard, bovine pericardial patches (BPPs), serve this purpose but do not degrade or integrate with the myocardium, limiting their long-term…

Following resection of a diseased segment of intestine, reconnection (anastomosis) is configured with varying geometry (i.e. end-to-end, side-to-side, etc.). Yet proper healing of an intestinal anastomosis is not only a function of its geometry, but also its mechanobiology. We aimed to investigate the intersection of…
