Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
Multimodal perioperative data from patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation offer valuable insights for stratifying recurrence risk, yet remain underutilized in prediction models. This multicenter retrospective study included 2508 patients who underwent AF ablation at five Chinese centers: The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine (Jan 2016-Mar 2024; Tra...
Esophageal cancer surgery is evolving from technical standardization to a paradigm of personalized, strategy-oriented care. Robotic-assisted techniques and enhanced perioperative protocols have improved safety, but the field is increasingly shaped by three forces: integration of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), population aging, and the rise of intelligent technologies such as artificial intel...
