BACKGROUND: Sigmoid resection in diverticulitis is one of the most frequently performed colonic operations. A minimally invasive approach by laparoscopy is the surgical gold standard. For a few years now, sigmoid resections have also been performed robotically (da Vinci System). It is unclear whether there are relevant differences between the two procedures in terms of functional outcome.
The ability to evaluate sperm at the microscopic level, at high-throughput, would be useful for assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), as it can allow specific selection of sperm cells for in vitro fertilization (IVF). The tradeoff between intrinsic imaging and external contrast agents is particularly acute in reproductive medicine. The use of fluorescence labels has enabled new cell-sorting s...
Over the past years, the assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) have been accompanied by constant innovations. For instance, intracytoplasmic sperm...

BACKGROUND: Infertility and subfertility affect a significant proportion of humanity. Assisted reproductive technology has been proven capable of alle...
Automatic recognition of instruments in laparoscopy videos poses many challenges that need to be addressed, like identifying multiple instruments appe...
Embryo assessment and selection is a critical step in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure. Current embryo assessment approaches such as manual m...
UNLABELLED: This study reports on 632 cycles from 105 women who were using the CREIGHTON MODEL Fertility™ System to avoid pregnancy and had either a s...
We present a case report of a 25-year-old obese man complaining of primary infertility for 2 years. After a thorough examination and investigation wer...
Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is widely used in infertility treatment. The size and shape of the ovary and follicles must be measured manually for as...
