BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways are beneficial in proctocolectomy, but their impact on robotic low rectal proctectomy is not fully investigated. This study assessed the impact of an ERAS pathway on the outcomes and cost of...
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate the concordance between therapeutic recommendations proposed by a multidisciplinary team meeting and those generated by a large language model (ChatGPT) for colorectal cancer. Although multidisc...
BACKGROUND: A real-time deep learning system was developed to identify the extrahepatic bile ducts during indocyanine green fluorescence-guided laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
BACKGROUND: Robotic data streams allow for capture of objective performance indicators, providing the ability to quantify and analyse operator technique and movement in optimizing postoperative outcomes. This study provided proof-of-concept demonstra...
BACKGROUND: Radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is standard surgical protocol for locally advanced gastric cancer. The surgical experience and skill in recognizing blood vessels and performing lymph node dissection differ between surgeons, wh...
BACKGROUND: Near-infrared indocyanine green angiography allows experienced surgeons to reliably evaluate parathyroid gland vitality during thyroid and parathyroid operations in order to predict postoperative function. To facilitate equal performance ...
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic criteria for lateral lymph node metastasis in rectal cancer have not been established. This research aimed to investigate the risk factors for lateral lymph node metastasis and develop machine learning models combining thes...
BACKGROUND: Risk evaluation of lymph node metastasis for early-stage (T1 and T2) colorectal cancers is critical for determining therapeutic strategies. Traditional methods of lymph node metastasis prediction have limited accuracy. This systematic rev...
BACKGROUND: Surgical waiting lists have risen dramatically across the UK as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The effective use of operating theatres by optimal scheduling could help mitigate this, but this requires accurate case duration prediction...
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic surgery is increasingly moving towards centralization in high-volume centres, supported by evidence on the volume-outcome relationship. At the same time, minimally invasive pancreatic surgery is becoming more and more establish...
