Formalizing video documentation of the Critical View of Safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a step towards artificial intelligence assistance to improve surgical safety.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: In laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), achievement of the Critical View of Safety (CVS) is commonly advocated to prevent bile duct injuries (BDI). However, BDI rates remain stable, probably due to inconsistent application or a poor underst...

Prediction of thirty-day morbidity and mortality after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: data from an artificial neural network.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Multiple patient factors may convey increased risk of 30-day morbidity and mortality after laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy (LVSG). Assessing the likelihood of short-term morbidity is useful for both the bariatric surgeon and pati...

Oncological and anorectal functional outcomes of robot-assisted intersphincteric resection in lower rectal cancer, particularly the extent of sphincter resection and sphincter saving.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Few investigations to date assessing the effectiveness of robot-assisted intersphincteric resection (ISR) have included sufficient patients and follow-up period. This study assessed the utility and safety of robot-assisted ISR by comparin...

Handheld laparoscopic robotized instrument: progress or challenge?

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Handheld laparoscopic robotized instruments have been developed to combine the advantages of a robotic operation system and conventional laparoscopic instruments. Direct objective standards are needed to quantify surgeons' skill level and...

Comparative outcomes of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted esophagectomy.

Surgical endoscopy
OBJECTIVE: Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has demonstrated superior outcomes compared to open approaches. The myriad of techniques has precluded the recommendation of a standard approach. The addition of robotics to esophageal resection has p...

Comparison of robot-assisted modified radical neck dissection using a bilateral axillary breast approach with a conventional open procedure after propensity score matching.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: There is ongoing debate about whether or not robot-assisted thyroidectomy is appropriate for modified radical neck dissection (MRND). The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of robot-assisted MRND with those of a co...

Sensor-based machine learning for workflow detection and as key to detect expert level in laparoscopic suturing and knot-tying.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: The most common way of assessing surgical performance is by expert raters to view a surgical task and rate a trainee's performance. However, there is huge potential for automated skill assessment and workflow analysis using modern techn...

Spotting malignancies from gastric endoscopic images using deep learning.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is a common kind of malignancies, with yearly occurrences exceeding one million worldwide in 2017. Typically, ulcerous and cancerous tissues develop abnormal morphologies through courses of progression. Endoscopy is a routi...
