Pituitary Tumors in the Computational Era, Exploring Novel Approaches to Diagnosis, and Outcome Prediction with Machine Learning.

BACKGROUND: Machine learning has emerged as a viable asset in the setting of pituitary surgery. In the past decade, the number of machine learning models developed to aid in the diagnosis of pituitary lesions and predict intraoperative and postoperative complications following transsphenoidal surgery has increased exponentially. As computational processing power continues to increase, big data set...

5G ultra-remote robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery in China.

BACKGROUND: 5G communication technology has been applied to several fields in telemedicine, but its effectiveness, safety, and stability in remote laparoscopic telesurgery have not been established. Here, we conducted four ultra-remote laparoscopic surgeries on a swine model under the 5G network. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness, safety, and stability of the 5G network in ...
