INTRODUCTION: A steadily rising opioid pandemic has left the US suffering significant social, economic, and health crises. Machine learning (ML) domains have been utilized to predict prolonged postoperative opioid (PPO) use. This systematic review ai...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (rPD) is a complex operation with a reported learning curve of 80 cases. Two recent graduates of a formal robotic complex general surgical oncology training program have been performing rPD at our institu...
BACKGROUND: Identification of resections with high risk of intraoperative complications is critical in guiding case selection for minimally invasive liver surgery. Several Japanese and European difficulty scoring systems have been proposed for laparo...
Artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing, especially with the advent of ChatGPT technology, and its role in the world of medicine is expanding. Within surgery, AI has the capacity to improve efficiency and results in surgical treatments; however,...
BACKGROUND: Our group investigates objective performance indicators (OPIs) to analyze robotic colorectal surgery. Analyses of OPI data are difficult in dual-console procedures (DCPs) as there is currently no reliable, efficient, or scalable technique...
Many transanal platforms have recently evolved to manage rectal pathologies. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and transanal laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) have been developed to address the limitations of conventional transana...
BACKGROUND: Studies of robotic lobectomy (Robot-L) have been performed using data from high-volume, specialty centers which may not be generalizable. The purpose of this study was to compare mortality, length of stay (LOS), and cost between Robot-L a...
Optimal approach for lower anterior resection has been closely debated. The relatively new addition of the robotic approach adds a layer of complexity to this topic. The majority of the literature has compared the possible approaches between two tec...
BACKGROUND: The Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Skills (GEARS) rubric provides a measure of skill in robotic surgery. We hypothesize surgery performed by more experienced operators will be associated with higher GEARS scores.
There has been ongoing discussion regarding the superiority of robotic laparoscopic surgery (RLS) over conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) in many surgical subspecialties. We therefore sought to elucidate if RLS is associated with more favorable ...
