BACKGROUND: Perforated gastrojejunal ulcers are a known complication following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery requiring emergent surgical repair. The robotic approach has not been evaluated for emergency general surgery.
BACKGROUND: Transoral robotic surgery has been successfully used by head and neck surgeons for a variety of procedures but is limited by rigid instrumentation and line-of-sight visualization. Non-linear systems specifically designed for the aerodiges...
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this report was to summarize observations, evaluate the feasibility, provide detailed information concerning proper techniques, and address limitations for non-recurrent laryngeal nerve (NRLN) dissection and release during th...
BACKGROUND: There continues to be an interest in minimally invasive approaches to pancreatic surgery. At our institution, there has been a progressive change from an open to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) (laparoscopic, robotic, or laparoscopic-rob...
BACKGROUND: We investigate the incidence and risk factors for post-operative outcomes including chyle leak following minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).
BACKGROUND: Totally intracorporeal surgery for left-sided resection carries numerous potential advantages by avoiding crossing staple lines and eliminating the need for an abdominal incision. For those with complicated diverticulitis, minimally invas...
OBJECTIVES: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD)-based artificial intelligence (AI) has been shown to be highly accurate for detecting and characterizing colon polyps. However, the application of AI to identify normal colon landmarks and differentiate mult...
BACKGROUND: The complexity of laparoscopy requires special training and assessment. Analyzing the streaming videos during the surgery can potentially improve surgical education. The tedium and cost of such an analysis can be dramatically reduced usin...
BACKGROUND: Complete upside-down stomach (cUDS) hernias are a subgroup of large hiatal hernias characterized by high risk of life-threatening complications and technically challenging surgical repair including complex mediastinal dissection. In a pro...
INTRODUCTION: This study describes the experience with robot-assisted transanal minimally invasive surgery (rTAMIS) at a single institution. TAMIS has become a popular minimally invasive technique for local excision of well-selected rectal lesions. r...
