Robotic colon surgery in obese patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ANZ journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Colon cancer resection can be technically difficult in the obese (OB) population. Robotic surgery is a promising technique but its benefits remain uncertain in OB patients. The aim of this study is to compare OB versus non-obese (NOB) pat...

Impact of the severity of urethrovesical anastomotic leakage on urinary continence following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
We assessed whether the severity of anastomotic urinary leakage detected during routine cystourethrography after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) affects urinary continence recovery. Around 302 patients who underwent RALP between Augu...

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic approach to concurrent bariatric surgery and hiatal hernia repair: propensity score matching analysis using the 2015-2018 MBSAQIP.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Up to 37% of class three obesity patients have a Hiatal Hernia (HH). Most of the existent HHs get repaired at the time of bariatric surgery. Although the robotic platform might offer potential technical advantages over traditional laparos...

Technical details for a robot-assisted hand-sewn esophago-gastric anastomosis during minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (MIILE) provides better outcomes than open techniques, particularly in terms of post-operative recovery and pulmonary complications. However, in addition to requiring advanced technical skills, ...

[New intraoperative fluorescence-based and spectroscopic imaging techniques in visceral medicine - precision surgery in the "high tech"-operating room].

Zeitschrift fur Gastroenterologie
INTRODUCTION: Fluorescence angiography (FA) with indocyanine green (ICG) and hyperspectral imaging (HSI) are novel intraoperative visualization techniques in abdominal, vascular and transplant surgery. With the purpose of precision surgery, and in or...

Reducing the Risk of Postoperative Complications After Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy in Prostate Cancer Patients: Results of an Audit and Feedback Intervention Following the Implementation of Prospective Data Collection.

European urology focus
BACKGROUND: Prospective data collection for perioperative outcomes might increase awareness of surgical results obtained for patients with prostate cancer (PCa) undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). This would prompt the implementat...

Anastomotic Leak is Increased With Infection After Colectomy: Machine Learning-Augmented Propensity Score Modified Analysis of 46 735 Patients.

The American surgeon
BACKGROUND: infection (CDI) is now the most common cause of healthcare-associated infections, with increasing prevalence, severity, and mortality of nosocomial and community-acquired CDI which makes up approximately one third of all CDI. There are a...

Development and validation of machine learning models to predict gastrointestinal leak and venous thromboembolism after weight loss surgery: an analysis of the MBSAQIP database.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Postoperative gastrointestinal leak and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are devastating complications of bariatric surgery. The performance of currently available predictive models for these complications remains wanting, while machine learn...

Validation of an online risk calculator for the prediction of anastomotic leak after colon cancer surgery and preliminary exploration of artificial intelligence-based analytics.

Techniques in coloproctology
BACKGROUND: Recently published data support the use of a web-based risk calculator ( www.anastomoticleak.com ) for the prediction of anastomotic leak after colectomy. The aim of this study was to externally validate this calculator on a larger datase...

Support Vector Feature Selection for Early Detection of Anastomosis Leakage From Bag-of-Words in Electronic Health Records.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
The free text in electronic health records (EHRs) conveys a huge amount of clinical information about health state and patient history. Despite a rapidly growing literature on the use of machine learning techniques for extracting this information, li...
