Abstract
BACKGROUND: A postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a critical complication of radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, mainly because surgeons occasionally misrecognize the pancreas and fat during lymphadenectomy. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of identifying and highlighting the pancreas during robot-assisted gastrectomy.
