Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical efficacy of modified sacral fixation under Leonardo da Vinci robot laparoscopy for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
In 2019, our facility introduced robot-assisted surgery for mediastinal tumors using da Vinci Si, which was upgrade to da Vinci X and Xi in 2021. Initially, the unilateral thoracic cavity approach was used for robot-assisted surgeries. The unilateral approach has the advantage of facilitating the anatomical recognition of either the left or right side, with the side used selected depending on the ...
