BACKGROUND: Little data are available to assess the learning curve for robot-assisted surgery on choledochal cysts. The aim of this current study is to investigate the characteristics of the learning curve for robot-assisted choledochal cyst excision...
BACKGROUND: Round trip signal latency, or time delay, is an unavoidable constraint that currently stands as a major barrier to safe and efficient remote telesurgery. While there have been significant technological advancements aimed at reducing the t...
BACKGROUND: The occurrence of bile duct injury (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is an important medical issue. Expert surgeons prevent intraoperative BDI by identifying four landmarks. The present study aimed to develop a system that ou...
BACKGROUND: Operating room (OR) fires are uncommon but disastrous events. Inappropriate handling of OR fires can result in injuries, even death. Aiming to simulate OR fire emergencies and effectively train clinicians to react appropriately, we have d...
BACKGROUND: Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is an application of machine learning used to retrieve images by similarity on the basis of features. Our objective was to develop a CBIR system that could identify images containing the same polyp ('p...
BACKGROUND: In laparoscopy, the digital camera offers surgeons the opportunity to receive support from image-guided surgery systems. Such systems require image understanding, the ability for a computer to understand what the laparoscope sees. Image u...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative gastrointestinal leak and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are devastating complications of bariatric surgery. The performance of currently available predictive models for these complications remains wanting, while machine learn...
BACKGROUND: Automatic surgical workflow recognition is a key component for developing the context-aware computer-assisted surgery (CA-CAS) systems. However, automatic surgical phase recognition focused on colorectal surgery has not been reported. We ...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive single-port surgery is often associated with large incisions up to 2-3 cm, complicated handling due to the lack of triangulation, and instrument crossing. Aim of this prospective study was to perform true single-port su...
INTRODUCTION: To enlarge the donor pool, kidney donors with obesity have been considered. We hypothesized that it is safe for patients with obesity to serve as living kidney donors.
