Latest AI and machine learning research in thoracic surgery for healthcare professionals.
Esophageal cancer is among the most common types of cancer worldwide. It is traditionally treated using open esophagectomy, but in recent years, robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has emerged as a promising alternative. However, robot-assisted surgery can be challenging for novice surgeons, as they often suffer from a loss of spatial orientation. Computer-aided anatomy recog...
Platelet demand management (PDM) is a resource-consuming task for physicians and transfusion managers of large hospitals. Inpatient numbers and institutional standards play significant roles in PDM. However, reliance on these factors alone commonly results in platelet shortages. Using data from multiple sources, we developed, validated, tested, and implemented a patient-specific approach to suppor...

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive esophagectomy is associated with lower postoperative morbidity and better quality of life compared to open esophagect...
INTRODUCTION: Thanks to perfect visualization and high maneuverability of instruments, the robotic technique is a preferable type of lung resection, e...
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of robotic thyroid lobectomy via Bilateral Axlio-Breast Approach (BABA) and endoscopic thyroid lob...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This meta-analysis assesses the surgical outcomes between robot-assisted minimally-invasive McKeown esophagectomy and conventi...
The development of an ontology facilitates the organization of the variety of concepts used to describe different terms in different resources. The pr...
Cardiothoracic diseases are a serious threat to human health and chest X-ray image is a great reference in diagnosis and treatment. At present, it has...
We describe two cases of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with robot-assisted total pelvic exenteration (Ra-TPE) and intracorporeal ileal...
OBJECTIVE: To compare perioperative and long-term outcomes of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and conventional minimally invas...
