Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
Burn debridement is a challenging technique that requires significant skill to identify regions requiring excision and appropriate excision depth. A machine learning tool is being developed in order to assist surgeons by providing a quantitative assessment of burn-injured tissue. Three noninvasive optical imaging techniques capable of distinguishing between four kinds of tissue-healthy skin, viabl...
Response to prescribed analgesic drugs varies between individuals, and choosing the right drug/dose often involves a lengthy, iterative process of trial and error. Furthermore, a significant portion of patients experience adverse events such as post-operative urinary retention (POUR) during inpatient management of acute postoperative pain. To better forecast analgesic responses, we compared conven...
Large medical image data sets with high dimensionality require substantial amount of computation time for data creation and data processing. This pape...
INTRODUCTION: Conventional manual laparoscopic instruments for minimally invasive surgery have limited dexterity within the patient, making procedures...
Robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy can be considered for patients able to tolerate conventional lobectomy. Contraindications to resection via thorac...
We present a 67-year-old patient who underwent robotic excision of a mobile left ventricular mass found incidentally on echocardiography. Intraoperati...
This thesis contains four studies all focusing on women with endometrial cancer undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy (RALH). Women wi...
External and internal rectal prolapse with their affiliated rectocele and enterocele, are associated with debilitating symptoms such as obstructed def...
Despite aggressive conventional therapy, lasting hemiplegia persists in a large percentage of stroke survivors. The aim of this article is to critical...
BACKGROUND: The use of robotic technology to harvest grafts in a follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedure has been available since 2...
Papillary fibroelastomas of the mitral chordae tendineae are rare, primary benign tumors. They are either incidentally diagnosed during echocardiograp...
Ample empirical evidence endorses the role of associative learning in pain-related fear acquisition. Nevertheless, research typically focused on self-...
Medical decision-making is increasingly based on quantifiable data. From the moment patients come into contact with the health care system, their enti...
BACKGROUND: In 1999 the first endo-exo femoral prosthesis (EEFP) was implanted in Germany in a patient who had suffered a traumatic above-knee amputat...
BACKGROUND: The use of a robotic surgical system is claimed to allow precise traction and counter-traction, especially in a narrow pelvis. Whether thi...
PURPOSE: To evaluate available evidence on robot-assisted surgery compared with open and laparoscopic surgery.
Robot-assisted physical gait therapy is gaining recognition among the rehabilitation engineering community. Several robotic orthoses for the treatment...
AIM: To report a series of 1,000 patients treated by a single surgeon using robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) and to show how...
Cardiac complications following surgery can be devastating especially if it is unrecognized. We present a case of a stress-induced cardiomyopathy that...
Ureterosciatic hernias (USH) are a rare entity and to date there have been limited case reports detailing their presentation, diagnosis, and managemen...
