Abstract

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive adrenalectomy is the main surgical treatment option for the resection of adrenal masses. Recognition and ligation of adrenal veins are critical parts of adrenal surgery. The utilization of artificial intelligence and deep learning algorithms to identify anatomic structures during laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery can be used to provide real-time guidance.
