Podcasts about robotic surgery

How much do you know about robotic surgery for DIEP flap breast reconstruction? What areas in the U.S. are performing these types of robotic surgery for those affected by breast cancer? What if I told you robotic DIEP flaps are being performed in Hawaii? It is important to share with you surgeons I meet to provide access to care for those affected by breast cancer. Thank you for listening to the podcast to find out who these surgeons are. We are going to discuss robotic surgery and DIEP flap being performed in Hawaii with my guests on this edition of the DiepCJourney podcast. Be sure to watch our conversation on the DiepCFoundation YouTube channel when it is published, and you can sit with us and watch our conversation. I first met Dr. Daniel Murariu at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in San Diego in September of 2024. What impressed me at our first meeting was his interest in the resources breast cancer patients provide. We talked about the resources provided by DiepCJourney Foundation, but we also discussed the many other breast cancer support groups helping patients navigate their decision through treatment, surgery, and recovery. I was also impressed with the time he spent listening and I thought to myself, if I were a patient of Dr. Murariu, I think I would feel very much a part of my decision process with his thoughtful demeanor. He is a TEDx UC Davis speaker, Rotarian, speaks three languages, has published multiple papers, an impressive resume to be sure!! Further, Dr. Murariu practices the co-surgeon model at his private practice office in Honolulu, Hawaii at Athena Clinic Plastic Surgery. He collaborates with his team member, Dr. Peter Deptula. We are going to learn more about the work of Dr. Deptula and his training in the interview. They are both board-certified reconstructive surgeons who perform autologous breast reconstruction, lymphedema surgery, complex abdominal wall reconstruction, and complex microsurgery focusing on head and neck and breast reconstruction. We wrap up our conversations with an announcement by Dr. Murariu. It is exciting to know that he and Dr. Deptula are organizing the RAMSES 2027 meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. RAMSES stands for The Robotic Assisted & Microsurgical Endoscopic Society, “The group represents the ‘early adaptors' of robotic technology in the field of microsurgery.” He graciously invites surgeons to visit them to observe their work and learn more about robotics in plastic surgery.

Ravi Bapna and Anindya Ghose visit Google to discuss their book “Thrive: Maximizing Well-Being in the Age of AI” - the book explores how AI can positively impact many aspects of our daily lives, from health and wellness to work, education, and home life. Artificial intelligence is a powerful general-purpose technology that is reshaping the modern economy, but misperceptions about AI stand in the way of harnessing it for the betterment of humanity. In their book Thrive, Ravi Bapna and Anindya Ghose counter the backlash by showcasing how AI is positively influencing the aspects of our daily lives that we care about most: our health and wellness, relationships, education, the workplace, and domestic life. The authors explain the underlying technology and give people the agency they need to shape the debate around how we should regulate AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks. Bringing over two decades of experience with cutting-edge research, consulting, executive coaching, and advising to bear on the subject, Bapna and Ghose demystify the technology of AI itself. They offer a novel “House of AI” framework that encompasses traditional analytics, generative AI, and fair and ethical deployment of AI.

A payload developer and surgeon discuss testing a robotic surgery technology demonstration aboard the International Space Station. HWHAP Episode 339.

Join Dr. Tatiana Cardenas and Dr. Mohammed Bawazeer as they talk with guests Dr. Matt Martin and Dr. Andrea Pakula and discuss the role of robotic surgery in the management of hernias by the acute care surgeon.  The discussion covers training in robotics, the role of robotics in emergent and urgent hernia surgery, and various case scenarios involving hernias encountered by acute care surgeons.

“There is a revolution at hand in which, after years of struggling to locate a new source of organs, there may finally be an answer and to everyone's surprise it is animal organs. Pigs may save the day,” says Dr. Andrew Cameron, chief of the Division of Transplantation at Johns Hopkins Medicine. While he's encouraged by recent progress in using genetically-modified pig organs in humans, Cameron points to other ways of addressing this chronic shortage which include creative use of social media to raise awareness of the need, and even compensating people for donations. But, as you'll learn on this episode of Raise the Line with host Shiv Gaglani, running the transplant program is just one of the hats Cameron wears. As director of the Department of Surgery and surgeon-in-chief, he has a hand in overseeing all surgical subspecialties, so Shiv also explores his thoughts on the role of robotics and other technologies in both performing operations and in training surgeons. And in what is perhaps an unexpected turn, Cameron expresses his excitement about non-surgical developments to improve health such as the new class of weight loss drugs. “We're not here for me to do fancy surgeries. We're here to take care of sick people, so if there is a non-operative solution that's better for the patient, we're all in on that, too.” It's an expansive and fascinating conversation you won't want to miss.Mentioned in this episode:Johns Hopkins Department of Surgery: www.hopkinsmedicine.org/surgeryDONOR App: www.thedonorapp.comTEDx Talk on Xenotransplantation

This week we discuss the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine is revolutionizing healthcare, contributing to improved outcomes, more efficient processes, and reduced costs.  Here are some key benefits: Enhanced Diagnostics: AI algorithms, especially those based on deep learning, can analyze complex medical data like X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and genomics with a high degree of accuracy. They can detect patterns and anomalies that may be invisible to the human eye, or interpret large volumes of data quickly, leading to early and more accurate diagnoses. Personalized Medicine: AI helps in analyzing data from genetic testing, medical records, and wearable health devices to tailor treatments to individual patients. This personalization can lead to more effective treatment plans and medication, reducing the trial-and-error approach associated with treating complex or rare conditions. Predictive Analytics: By assessing medical records, social determinants, genetics, and lifestyle data, AI can predict the likelihood of disease and help in preventive medicine. Early intervention in high-risk patients can lead to better health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. Drug Discovery and Development: AI expedites the process of drug discovery by analyzing complex biochemical interactions. It helps in identifying potential drug candidates, predicting how they will work, and foreseeing potential side-effects, significantly reducing the time and cost of bringing new drugs to market. Robotic Surgery and Assistance: AI-enhanced robotic systems can assist surgeons in performing precise and minimally invasive procedures. These systems can provide stability, dexterity, and endurance beyond human capabilities, reducing recovery times, and improving outcomes. Remote Monitoring and Telehealth: AI-driven applications enable patients to receive medical consultations and monitoring without visiting a clinic. This is especially beneficial for patients in remote areas, those with mobility issues, or during public health crises (like the COVID-19 pandemic). Administrative Workflow Assistance: AI can automate administrative tasks like scheduling, billing, patient communication, and maintaining records, reducing the workload on healthcare professionals and allowing them to focus more on patient care. Clinical Trials: AI can identify suitable candidates for clinical trials more efficiently by matching individual health profiles with study criteria. This accelerates recruitment, making the development process for new treatments faster and more effective. Resource Allocation: In scenarios like pandemic outbreaks, AI can assist in planning and optimizing resource allocation (e.g., ventilators, hospital beds, medical staff) based on predictive modeling of disease spread and healthcare needs. Reducing Burnout: By taking over routine, time-consuming tasks, AI can reduce the workload for healthcare providers, mitigating burnout and allowing them more time for direct patient interaction and care. Despite these advantages, it's crucial to approach AI in medicine with caution, considering challenges like data privacy, algorithmic bias, the need for extensive validation, and ensuring the explainability of AI decisions. Moreover, AI should be viewed as a tool to augment human healthcare providers' capabilities, not replace the essential human touch in medicine.
