Latest AI and machine learning research in thoracic surgery for healthcare professionals.
Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) allows for real-time intraoperative assessment of the perfusion of the gastric conduit during esophagectomy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the implementation of ICG-FA during robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) with an intrathoracic anastomosis. In this prospective cohort study, a standardized protocol...
Esophagectomy is the gold standard for the treatment of resectable esophageal cancer. Traditionally, it is performed through a laparotomy and a thoracotomy, and is associated with high rates of postoperative complications and mortality. The advent of robotic surgery has represented a technological evolution in the field of esophageal cancer treatment. Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectom...
We aim to review the available literature on patients with esophageal cancer treated with robot-assisted (RAME) or video-assisted McKeown's esophagect...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted lobectomy has been used to treat non-small cell lung cancer and usually uses 3 or 4 ports and 3 or 4 robotic arms. We recen...
BACKGROUND: High-grade adenocarcinoma subtypes (micropapillary and solid) treated with sublobar resection have an unfavorable prognosis compared with ...
BACKGROUND: Although a number of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) procedures have been performed due to three-dimensional field...
Deep learning-based convolutional neural networks have enabled major advances in development of artificial intelligence (AI) software applications. M...
A major challenge in treating superior sulcus tumors is achieving complete surgical resection because of technical difficulties associated with the an...
BACKGROUND: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) estimates mortality risk only for certain common procedures (eg, c...
BACKGROUND: In this matched-cohort study, we investigated the short-term outcome of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) compared w...
Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) reduces mortality and morbidity related to esophageal surgery, but a long learning curve is necessary due to th...
INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has not been associated with a long-term survival advantage compared to open esophagectomy (OE). ...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence, particularly the deep learning (DL) model, can provide reliable results for automated cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) ...
Higher capital costs and operating room costs associated with Lobectomy via Robot Assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS) have previously been suggested as t...
BACKGROUND: This study compares the short- and long-term outcomes of open vs robotic vs video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for stag...
Accurately predicting red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements in cardiothoracic (CT) surgery could improve blood inventory management and be use...
Minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer decreases overall complication rate and leads to faster postoperative recovery. Robot-assisted ...
A 79-year-old male former smoker presented with a T4 (>7 cm) adenocarcinoma of the right upper lobe. The patient was staged at clinical T4N0M0 and und...
