Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Urethral Diverticulectomy in a Pediatric Patient.

Urethral diverticula are rare in children, especially in the absence of trauma. We present a case of a 9-year-old girl with pain with micturition, incontinence, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Diagnosis of urethral diverticulum was made by magnetic resonance imaging. A robot-assisted transabdominal laparoscopic diverticulectomy was performed without complication. The patient experienced a ...

Interactive Explainable Deep Learning Model Informs Prostate Cancer Diagnosis at MRI.

Background Clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis at MRI requires accurate and efficient radiologic interpretation. Although artificial intelligence may assist in this task, lack of transparency has limited clinical translation. Purpose To develop an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) model for clinically significant PCa diagnosis at biparametric MRI using Prostate Imaging R...

Explainable AI for Prostate MRI: Don't Trust, Verify.

Comparison of Transperitoneal and Retroperitoneal Partial Nephrectomy with Single-Port Robot.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of single-port (SP) robotic transperitoneal (TP) and retroperitoneal (RP) partial nephrectomy. We sequentiall...

A probabilistic deep learning model of inter-fraction anatomical variations in radiotherapy.

. In radiotherapy, the internal movement of organs between treatment sessions causes errors in the final radiation dose delivery. To assess the need f...

A novel multiplex score to predict outcomes of partial nephrectomy for multiple tumors.

BACKGROUND: The RENAL nephrometry score (RNS) is widely used to describe renal mass complexity and inform patient counseling for partial nephrectomy (...

A novel dataset and efficient deep learning framework for automated grading of renal cell carcinoma from kidney histopathology images.

Trends of kidney cancer cases worldwide are expected to increase persistently and this inspires the modification of the traditional diagnosis system t...

No prostate? No problem: robotic inguinal hernia repair after prostatectomy.

Traditional teaching suggests that prior pelvic operations, including prostatectomy, are a contraindication to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. De...

A comparative study of the inter-observer variability on Gleason grading against Deep Learning-based approaches for prostate cancer.

BACKGROUND: Among all the cancers known today, prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed in men. With modern advances in medicine, its mor...

First Report On Physician Assessment and Clinical Acceptability of Custom-Retrained Artificial Intelligence Models for Clinical Target Volume and Organs-at-Risk Auto-Delineation for Postprostatectomy Patients.

PURPOSE: To assess the clinical acceptability of a commercial deep-learning-based auto-segmentation (DLAS) prostate model that was retrained using ins...

Coupling analysis of heart rate variability and cortical arousal using a deep learning algorithm.

Frequent cortical arousal is associated with cardiovascular dysfunction among people with sleep-disordered breathing. Changes in heart rate variabilit...

Glomerulus Detection Using Segmentation Neural Networks.

Digital pathology is vital for the correct diagnosis of kidney before transplantation or kidney disease identification. One of the key challenges in k...

And then there was one … incision. First single-port pediatric robotic case series.

BACKGROUND: In the past two decades, technology has advanced to augment an already minimally-invasive approach in laparoscopic surgery. Robotic-assist...

Open, Laparoscopic, and Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy Oncological Results: A Reverse Systematic Review.

Systematic reviews (SR) have always been used as the best evidence to compare three radical prostatectomy (RP) techniques: retropubic radical prostat...

Early Postoperative Outcomes of Retroperitoneal Partial Nephrectomy of Anterior and Posterior Renal Tumors: A 5-Year Experience in A Single Center.

Partial nephrectomy (PN) is one of the surgical treatment options for renal tumors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the surgical outc...

Comparison between ketorolac- and fentanyl-based patient-controlled analgesia for acute kidney injury after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a retrospective propensity score-matched analysis.

PURPOSE: It is unclear whether ketorolac-based patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) leads to acute kidney injury (AKI) after robot-assisted radical pros...

Clinically explainable machine learning models for early identification of patients at risk of hospital-acquired urinary tract infection.

BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) models for early identification of patients at risk of hospital-acquired urinary tract infection (HA-UTI) may enable...

Robot-assisted pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction in renal anomalies.

The surgical video demonstrates the technical nuances of performing pyeloplasties on complex renal anomalies, including duplex, horseshoe, malrotated,...

Single Port Versus Multiport Robot-assisted Simple Prostatectomy: A Multi-institutional Study From the Single-port Advanced Research Consortium (SPARC).
