Abstract

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths, and gastrectomy with lymph node dissection is the mainstay of treatment. Despite clinician efforts and advances in surgical methods, the incidence of complications after gastrectomy remains 10%-20% including fatalities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on utilization of a deep learning method to build a new artificial intelligence model that could help surgeons diagnose these complications.
