Growing pains: strategies for improving ergonomics in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To evaluate factors contributing to the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and review strategies for mitigating ergonomic strain in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

Head and neck reconstruction in the vessel depleted neck using robot-assisted harvesting of the internal mammary vessels.

We report a novel technique of robot-assisted harvesting of the internal mammary vessels to provide effective recipient vessels in a patient with bilateral vessel depleted neck (VDN). A 44-year-old with a Notani grade III osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the anterior mandible underwent robot-assisted (Da Vinci® Surgical System, Intuitive Surgical) harvesting of the left internal mammary vessels (LIMA, ...

Using artificial intelligence to reduce orthopedic surgical site infection surveillance workload: Algorithm design, validation, and implementation in 4 Spanish hospitals.

BACKGROUND: Surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance is a labor-intensive endeavor. We present the design and validation of an algorithm for SSI det...
