Automatic quantitative evaluation of normal pancreas based on deep learning in a Chinese adult population.

OBJECTIVE: To develop a 3D U-Net-based model for the automatic segmentation of the pancreas using the diameters, volume, and density of normal pancreases among Chinese adults.

Robotic left-stapled total intracorporeal bowel anastomosis versus stapled partial extracorporeal anastomosis: operative technical description and outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Although there is extensive literature on robotic total intracorporeal anastomosis (TICA) for right colon resection, left total ICA using the da Vinci Xi robotic platform has only been described in short case series previously. In this study, we report on the largest cohort of robotic left total ICA, provide a description of our institution's techniques, and compare outcomes to robotic...

Robot-assisted versus video-assisted thoraco-laparoscopic McKeown's esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: a propensity score-matched analysis of minimally invasive approaches.

Minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer decreases overall complication rate and leads to faster postoperative recovery. Robot-assisted ...

Simplified robot-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection for esophageal and gastric lesions: a randomized controlled porcine study (with videos).
