U-clip for airway reconstruction: an experimental study of the feasibility of a robot-assisted endoscopic procedure

The U-clip anastomotic device was developed to facilitate interrupted anastomoses without the need to tie sutures. Recently, this technology has been expanded into various fields of surgery. However, in the field of airway reconstruction, there have been no previous reports of this technology being used. The present study examined the technical feasibility of performing safe and efficient robot-assisted endoscopic airway reconstruction using...
