INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Accurate identification of female populations at high risk for urinary incontinence (UI) and early intervention are potentially effective initiatives to reduce the prevalence of UI. We aimed to apply machine-learning tech...
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective was to create and validate the usefulness of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for identifying different organs of the pelvic floor in the midsagittal plane via dynamic ultrasound.
Artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is a rapidly growing field aimed at using machine learning models to improve health outcomes and patient experiences. Many new platforms have become accessible and therefore it seems inevitable that we conside...
BACKGROUND: The number of robotically assisted sacrocolpopexy procedures are increasing; therefore, experienced clinicians are needed. Simulation-based cadaver models are challenging in aspects of cost and availability. Therefore, we need to look at ...
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective was to study the effect of immediate pre-operative warm-up using virtual reality simulation on intraoperative robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy (RALH) performance by gynecology trainees (residents and...
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Data examining the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on prolapse recurrence after sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is limited. The primary objective of this study was to determine if DM affects prolapse recurrence after robotic SCP.
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Up to 13.6% of women will undergo surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence during their lifetime. Midurethral slings are the mainstay of stress incontinence treatment; however, diversity of surgical options is n...
IMPORTANCE: Robotic assistance in pelvic organ prolapse surgery can improve surgeon ergonomics and instrument dexterity compared with traditional laparoscopy but at increased costs.
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: We present technical considerations and tips for repairing a complex branching vesicouterine and vesicovaginal fistula via a robotic approach.
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: A 31-year-old patient with a history of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma requiring tumor resection and pelvic reconstruction in infancy presented with a 3-year history of recurrent vulvar abscesses and voiding dysfunction. M...
