ASO Author Reflections: Should We Prefer Robotic over Thoracoscopic Surgery for Sublobar Resection in Octogenarians with Pulmonary Nodules ≤ 2 cm?

Feasibility of Image Inversion for Ventral Hernia Repair Using the Versius System.

The aim of our technical report is to demonstrate the image inversion technique in the new Versius Robotic System. We report a step-by-step surgical maneuver for robotic surgeons when performing robotic ventral hernia repair (VHR) with the Versius Robotic System. The image inversion artifice consists in rotating 180° with the scope using the surgeon's master control in a specific rotation comma...

Novel Preoperative Risk Stratification Using Digital Phenotyping Applying a Scalable Machine-Learning Approach.

BACKGROUND: Classification of perioperative risk is important for patient care, resource allocation, and guiding shared decision-making. Using discrim...

Single-port Transvesical Robot-Assisted Simple Prostatectomy: Surgical Technique and Clinical Outcomes.

First-in-human real-time AI-assisted instrument deocclusion during augmented reality robotic surgery.

The integration of Augmented Reality (AR) into daily surgical practice is withheld by the correct registration of pre-operative data. This includes in...

The effect of vitamin D insufficiency on outcomes and complication rates after shoulder arthroplasty: a single center retrospective examination.

BACKGROUND: The impact of hypovitaminosis D in patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty has yet to be fully determined. Our study aims to assess post...

Predicting incomplete occlusion of intracranial aneurysms treated with flow diverters using machine learning models.

OBJECTIVE: Intracranial saccular aneurysms are vascular malformations responsible for 80% of nontraumatic brain hemorrhage. Recently, flow diverters h...

Deep learning nomogram for preoperative distinction between Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and gallbladder carcinoma: A novel approach for surgical decision.

The distinction between Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis (XGC) and Gallbladder Carcinoma (GBC) is challenging due to their similar imaging features. ...
