Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: Improved cancer control with increasing surgical experience-the learning curve-was demonstrated for open and laparoscopic prostatectomy. In a prior single-center study, we found that this might not be the case for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
BACKGROUND: Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are a life-threatening disease. Their rupture can lead to hemorrhagic stroke. Most studies applying deep learning for the detection of aneurysms are based on angiographic images. However, critical diagnostic information such as morphology and aneurysm location are not captured by deep learning algorithms and still require manual assessments.
BACKGROUND: Few studies fairly compared anorectal function and prognostic outcomes between patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection (APR) and an...
