Automatic Segmentation of Ultrasound-Guided Quadratus Lumborum Blocks Based on Artificial Intelligence.

Journal of imaging informatics in medicine
Ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) technology has become a widely used perioperative analgesia method during abdominal and pelvic surgeries. Due to the anatomical complexity and individual variability of the quadratus lumborum muscle (Q...

Topology-preserving segmentation of abdominal muscle layers from ultrasound images.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: In clinical anesthesia, precise segmentation of muscle layers from abdominal ultrasound images is crucial for identifying nerve block locations accurately. Despite deep learning advancements, challenges persist in segmenting muscle layers...

Comparison of Ultrasound-Guided Anterior, Posterior and Combination of Quadratus Lumborum Block in Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgeries: A Pilot Study.

Asian journal of anesthesiology
BACKGROUND: The quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is an effective technique to provide analgesia for upper and lower abdominal surgeries. There are various approaches described in the literature, but the best approach is still to be explored. This study...

Role of puboperinealis and rectourethralis muscles as a urethral support system to maintain urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Scientific reports
The present study investigated the role of a urethral support system to maintain urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a focus on pelvic floor muscles, such as the puboperinealis muscle (PPM) and rectourethralis m...

[Robot-assisted extraperitoneal ventral hernia repair-Experience from the first 61 consecutive operations with eTEP and eTAR techniques].

Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany)
BACKGROUND: As in many other fields of surgery, robotically assisted surgical procedures have been established in the treatment of ventral hernias in recent years. The use of the robot can combine the demands of a minimally invasive approach and retr...

Outcomes of open transverse abdominis release for ventral hernias: a systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression of factors affecting them.

Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
OBJECTIVES: The primary objectives were to evaluate Surgical Site Occurrences (SSO) and Surgical Site Occurrences requiring procedural Intervention (SSOPI) after open transversus abdominis release and to study various factors affecting it. Secondary ...

Robot-assisted vs ultrasonography-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block vs local anaesthesia in urology: results of the UROTAP randomized trial.

BJU international
OBJECTIVES: To prospectively analyse robotically administered transperitoneal transversus abdominis plane (robot-assisted transversus abdominis plane [RTAP]) compared with both ultrasonography-guided transversus abdominis plane (UTAP) and local anaes...

Transfer learning for data-efficient abdominal muscle segmentation with convolutional neural networks.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle segmentation is an important procedure for assessing sarcopenia, an emerging imaging biomarker of patient frailty. Data annotation remains the bottleneck for training deep learning auto-segmentation models.
