Deep learning model utilizing clinical data alone outperforms image-based model for hernia recurrence following abdominal wall reconstruction with long-term follow up.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Deep learning models (DLMs) using preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging have shown promise in predicting outcomes following abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR), including component separation, wound complications, and pulmonary fa...

Self-organising maps in the analysis of strains of human abdominal wall to identify areas of similar mechanical behaviour.

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
The study refers to the application of a type of artificial neural network called the Self-Organising Map (SOM) for the identification of areas of the human abdominal wall that behave in a similar mechanical way. The research is based on data acquire...

Does the presence of abdominal wall adhesions make gynecologic robotic surgery difficult?

Journal of robotic surgery
This study aimed to assess the status of abdominal wall adhesions resulting from prior surgeries and their impact on the outcomes of robotic surgery. We retrospectively reviewed clinical information, surgical outcomes, and the status of abdominal wal...

The use of a porcine model to teach advanced abdominal wall dissection techniques.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: In the era of minimally invasive surgery, it is clear that a robust simulation model is required for the training of surgeons in advanced abdominal wall reconstruction. The purpose of this experimentation was to evaluate whether a porcine...

Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Excision of Abdominal Wall Endometrioma Utilizing Intraoperative Ultrasound and Transabdominal Needle Placement.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
OBJECTIVE: In patients with endometriosis, extra pelvic endometriosis is estimated to have an incidence of 11% and a rare subset of extra pelvic lesions include abdominal wall endometriosis with an incidence of 0.03% to 3.5% [1,2]. Evaluation for and...

The Role of Robotics in Abdominal Wall Reconstruction.

The Surgical clinics of North America
Robotic abdominal wall reconstruction is becoming an accepted technique to approach complex hernias in a minimally invasive fashion. There remain a deficit of high-quality data to suggest significant clinical benefit but current randomized trials are...

Predicting rare outcomes in abdominal wall reconstruction using image-based deep learning models.

Surgery
BACKGROUND: Deep learning models with imbalanced data sets are a challenge in the fields of artificial intelligence and surgery. The aim of this study was to develop and compare deep learning models that predict rare but devastating postoperative com...

eTEP-RS for incisional hernias in a non-robotic center. Is laparoscopy enough to perform a durable MIS repair of the abdominal wall defect?

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: Incisional hernias can complicate up to 25% of laparotomies, and successful repair remains a significant clinical challenge for surgeons. Recently, the surgical technique of ventral hernia repair (eTEP-RS) has been introduced. The metho...

s-CAM: An Untethered Insertable Laparoscopic Surgical Camera Robot with Non-Contact Actuation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Fully insertable robotic imaging devices represent a promising future of minimally invasive laparoscopic vision. Emerging research efforts in this field have resulted in several proof-of-concept prototypes. One common drawback of these designs derive...

Multidisciplinary Approach to Robotic Resection of Abdominal Wall Endometriosis and Mesh Repair.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate a technique for robot-assisted laparoscopic excision of abdominal wall endometriosis and mesh reinforcement of the subsequent defect.
