BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy (RDP) has been suggested to hold some benefits over laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) but consensus and data on specific subgroups are lacking. This systematic review and meta-analysis reports the surgical and oncological outcome and costs between RDP and LDP including subgroups with intended spleen preservation and pancreatic ductal adenocar...
BACKGROUND: Achieving adequate implant fixation is critical to optimize survivorship and postoperative outcomes after revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). Three anatomical zones (ie, epiphysis, metaphysis, and diaphysis) have been proposed to assess fixation, but are not well-defined. The purpose of the study was to develop a deep learning workflow capable of automatically delineating rTKA zon...
BACKGROUND: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and renal calculi are associated in 20 to 30% of cases and treatment is mandatory. The simultane...
The application of robot-assisted thoracoscopy to cardiac surgery affords an opportunity to leverage the exceptional intraoperative exposure, visualiz...
PURPOSE: The pathological diagnosis of surgically resected gastric cancer involves both a macroscopic diagnosis by gross observation and a microscopic...
Myocardial ischemia diagnosis with CT perfusion imaging (CTP) is important in coronary artery disease management. Traditional analysis procedure is ti...
BACKGROUND: As robotic-assisted total knee replacement (rTKA) continues to gain popularity, the impact of this technology on resident education remain...
BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access (VA) for hemodialysis, but it is associated with high non-maturation and fail...
This study aimed to report a single surgeon's early experience and learning curves of single-incision robotic sacrocolpopexy on two different robotic ...
BACKGROUND: Combined liver and bile duct resection with biliary reconstruction for hepatobiliary malignancies are defined as highly complex surgical p...
BACKGROUND: While the buttock region is considered an esthetic hallmark, the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) remains controversially discussed in the plasti...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore the use of indocyanine green (ICG) in highlighting ureteral anatomical landmarks for the successful and safe execution of ...
We aimed to investigate the effects of video game habits, duration of experience, and training in different surgical clinics on the success of robotic...
Simple prostatectomy is indicated in patients with enlarged glands (>80 ) who present with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) attributed to benign p...
INTRODUCTION: To compare robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in well-selected older patients with clinically localized prostate cancer, comp...
PURPOSE: Postoperative complication prediction helps surgeons to inform and manage patient expectations. Deep learning, a model that finds patterns in...
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Up to 13.6% of women will undergo surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence during their lifetime. Midurethral s...
. As part of image-guided radiotherapy, ultrasound-guided radiotherapy is currently already in use and under investigation for robot assisted systems ...
Although some surgeons prefer anterolateral thigh and latissimus dorsi flap for soft tissue reconstruction in the head and neck area because it minimi...
In the era of data-driven machine learning algorithms, data is the new oil. For the most optimal results, datasets should be large, heterogeneous and,...
