Abstract

BACKGROUND: The primary surgical approach for removing adrenal masses is minimally invasive adrenalectomy. Recognition of anatomical landmarks during surgery is critical for minimizing complications. Artificial intelligence-based tools can be utilized to create real-time navigation systems during laparoscopic and robotic right adrenalectomy. In this study, we aimed to develop deep learning models that can identify critical anatomical structures during minimally invasive right adrenalectomy.
