Does an automated algorithm for port site selection improve dissection speed and reduce vessel trauma in robot-assisted CABG models compared to manual selection or templates?
An automated algorithm for port site selection in robot-assisted CABG significantly improved dissection speed and reduced vessel trauma in a model vessel study.
Cannon et al. (2003) studied this question.
