Defining the Morbidity of Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy with Intracorporeal Urinary Diversion: Adoption of the Comprehensive Complication Index.

The Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) only reports the postoperative complication of highest grade. It is thus of limited value for radical cystectomy, after which patients usually experience multiple complications. The Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) is a novel scoring system, which incorporates all postoperative events in one single value. The study aimed to adopt the CCI for the evalua...

Expert surgeons and deep learning models can predict the outcome of surgical hemorrhage from 1 min of video.

Major vascular injury resulting in uncontrolled bleeding is a catastrophic and often fatal complication of minimally invasive surgery. At the outset of these events, surgeons do not know how much blood will be lost or whether they will successfully control the hemorrhage (achieve hemostasis). We evaluate the ability of a deep learning neural network (DNN) to predict hemostasis control ability usin...
