Enhancing Bone Cancer Diagnosis Through Image Extraction and Machine Learning: A State-of-the-Art Approach.

Surgical innovation
Bone cancer is a severe condition often leading to patient mortality. Diagnosis relies on X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, which require time-consuming manual review by experts. Thus, developing an automated system is crucial for accurate classification o...

Design of a Miniature Observation Robot for Light Emitting Diode Irradiation and Indocyanine Green Fluorescence-emission Guided Lymph Node Monitoring in Operating Rooms.

Surgical innovation
MOTIVATION: Typical surgical microscopes used for fluorescence-based lymph node detection experience limitations such as weight and restricted adjustability of the integrated light emitting diode (LED) and camera. This restricts the capture of detail...

Robotic Microsurgery in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: A Literature Review.

Surgical innovation
BACKGROUND: Surgical robots have innovated the microsurgical field by providing advantages that improve surgical performance. These robots have been adopted by certain specialties more than others. This study discusses the potential advantages of rob...

Machine Learning Model for Assessment of Risk Factors and Postoperative Day for Superficial vs Deep/Organ-Space Surgical Site Infections.

Surgical innovation
Deep and organ space surgical site infections (SSI) require more intensive treatment, may result in more severe clinical disease and may have different risk factors when compared to superficial SSIs. Machine learning (ML) algorithms provide the oppo...

Telesurgery's Evolution During the Robotic Surgery Renaissance and a Systematic Review of its Ethical Considerations.

Surgical innovation
While robotic-assisted surgery is in a Renaissance, telesurgery, facilitated by robotic technology, is evolving in the space between innovative and mainstream clinical practice. This article outlines the current utilization of robotic telesurgery and...

Evaluation of the Efficiency of a Joystick-Guided Robotic Scope Holder Compared to That of Human Scopists: A Prospective Trial.

Surgical innovation
PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare motions of the laparoscope tip during a laparoscopic task in a training box using a recent joystick-guided robotic scope holder to those manipulated by human scopists. We hypothesized that laparoscopic manipulatio...

Towards Truly "Bespoke" Robotic Surgery: Vessel-Sparing Sigmoidectomy.

Surgical innovation
The proposed video-vignette represents a later step towards a truly robotically surgical approach, that combines oncological radicality and preservation of optimal blood flow during a sigmoidectomy for cancer. This totally robotic vessel-sparing appr...

Comparison of Operative Time Between Robotic and Laparoscopic Low Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer:A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Surgical innovation
Previous studies have shown that the robotic approach has better perioperative outcomes but longer operative time than the laparoscopic approach for patients undergoing low anterior resection. However, the impact of the learning curve on operative t...

A Pilot Machine Learning Study Using Trauma Admission Data to Identify Risk for High Length of Stay.

Surgical innovation
INTRODUCTION: Trauma patients have diverse resource needs due to variable mechanisms and injury patterns. The aim of this study was to build a tool that uses only data available at time of admission to predict prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS).
