Latest AI and machine learning research in thoracic surgery for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the results of the quality assessment and the learning curve of robot-assisted minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy (RAMIE-MK).
BACKGROUND: When pulmonary complications occur, postlobectomy patients have a higher mortality rate, increased length of stay, and higher readmission rates. Because of a lack of high-quality consolidated clinical data, it is challenging to assess and recognize at-risk thoracic patients to avoid respiratory failure and standardize outcome measures.
BACKGROUND: The superiority of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) over video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy remains controversia...
OBJECTIVE: To establish a machine learning (ML)-based prediction model for readmission within 30Â days (early readmission or early readmission) of pati...
The concept of Big Data is changing the way that clinical research can be performed. Cardiothoracic surgeons need to understand the dynamic digital tr...
In the first part of this series, we introduced the tools of Big Data, including Not Only Standard Query Language data warehouse, natural language pro...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) with intrathoracic anastomosis is gaining popularity as a treatment for esophageal...
OBJECTIVES: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) for primary lung cancer has been spreading rapidly in Japan. While RATS has various technical ...
Minimally invasive esophagectomy is increasing performed for cancers of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction. This video demonstrates the setup...
INTRODUCTION: To facilitate the initial clinical decision regarding whether to use esophagectomy alone or neoadjuvant therapy in surgical care for ind...
OBJECTIVE: Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has demonstrated superior outcomes compared to open approaches. The myriad of techniques has preclud...
Worldwide, the standard treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer with curative intent is perioperative chemotherapy or preoperative chemoradio...
BACKGROUND: The large amount of clinical signals in intensive care units can easily overwhelm health-care personnel and can lead to treatment delays, ...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal schwannomas are extremely rare, with few cases reported in the literature. Traditionally, resection of esophageal schwannoma is...
There is growing interest in applying machine learning methods to Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Across different institutions, however, EMR qualit...
Several different surgical approaches to anterior Pancoast tumors have been proposed. The osteomuscular-sparing transmanubrial approach allows optimal...
Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) is a rare paraneoplastic condition caused most commonly by metastatic mesenchymal tumors. A 74-year-old non-...
