Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
We propose a robot-assisted method to generate spherical thermal lesions by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. Typically, HIFU-induced thermal lesions are cigar-shaped because the acoustic field in the focal area has a similar elongated shape. We assumed that HIFU irradiation with a certain range and pattern of motion could influence the heat transfer within the target area, allowi...
Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective cancer treatment, particularly in peritoneal surface malignancies, where failure to detect metastatic lesions can mislead the treatment plan. This study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of staging laparoscopy using the integration of artificial intelligence (AI)-guided photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) with the photosensitizer Phonozen, activated at 405 nm ...

Terahertz (THz) light has the unique properties of being very sensitive to water, non-ionizing, and having sub-millimeter depth resolution, making it ...
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer patients are prone to lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after surgery, which is an important cause of death in pos...
BACKGROUND: A second primary malignant tumor is one of the most important factors affecting the long-term survival of young women with breast cancer (...
BACKGROUND: The morphology of the zygomatic complex significantly influences facial appearance, leading to a focus on zygomatic osteotomy. The current...
In recent years, with the increasing attention from researchers towards medical imaging, deep learning-based image segmentation techniques have become...
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has revolutionized many procedures and led to reduced recovery time and risk of patient injury. However, MIS poses ad...
The use of machine learning to predict postoperative pain and opioid use has likely been catalyzed by the availability of complex patient-level data, ...
