INTRODUCTION: Current decision support tools designed to predict postoperative complications, following cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC), are limited by small sample sizes and lack of external validatio...
BACKGROUND: Despite widespread use of standardized classification systems, risk stratification of thyroid nodules is nuanced and often requires diagnostic surgery. Genomic sequencing is available for this dilemma however, costs and access restricts g...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) may provide novel insights into data patterns and improve model prediction accuracy. The current study sought to develop and validate an ML model to predict early extra-hepatic recurrence (EEHR) among patients underg...
INTRODUCTION: Adrenal gland incidentalomas (AGIs) are found in up to 5% of cross-sectional images. However, rates of guideline-based workup for AGIs are notoriously low. We sought to determine if a natural language processing (NLP)-informed AGI clini...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a tool to potentially increase the efficiency and efficacy of cardiovascular care and improve clinical outcomes. This study aims to provide an overview of applications of AI in cardiac surgery.
INTRODUCTION: Peritoneal carcinomatosis is considered a late-stage manifestation of neoplastic diseases. Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) can be an effective treatment for these patients. However, the p...
BACKGROUND: Few studies assessed robotic in emergency setting and no solid evidence was demonstrated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAPP) repair for the treatment of...
