Early experience of robotic axillary lymph node dissection in patients with node-positive breast cancer.

Breast cancer research and treatment
BACKGROUND: Robotic surgical systems enable surgeons to perform precise movement in the surgical field using high-resolution 3D vision and flexible robotic instruments. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing axillary lymph node...

Scoping review of approaches used for remote-access parathyroidectomy: A contemporary review of techniques, tools, pros and cons.

Head & neck
After our coauthors described the first remote-access parathyroidectomy (RAP) series in 2000, several other approaches were developed. No systematic review has been performed to classify and evaluate RAP techniques. We performed a literature search u...

Assessment of Axillary Lymph Nodes for Metastasis on Ultrasound Using Artificial Intelligence.

Ultrasonic imaging
The purpose of this study was to evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI) system for the classification of axillary lymph nodes on ultrasound compared to radiologists. Ultrasound images of 317 axillary lymph nodes from patients referred for ultrasoun...

Automated detection and segmentation of thoracic lymph nodes from CT using 3D foveal fully convolutional neural networks.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: In oncology, the correct determination of nodal metastatic disease is essential for patient management, as patient treatment and prognosis are closely linked to the stage of the disease. The aim of the study was to develop a tool for auto...

Deep learning radiomics of ultrasonography: Identifying the risk of axillary non-sentinel lymph node involvement in primary breast cancer.

EBioMedicine
BACKGROUND: Completion axillary lymph node dissection is overtreatment for patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis in whom the metastatic risk of residual non-SLN (NSLN) is low. However, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network panel posi...

The effect of robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy (RATT) on body image is better than the conventional approach with cervicotomy: a preliminary report.

Updates in surgery
BACKGROUND: Cosmetic satisfaction is not only based on the patient's perception of the scar itself but is also related to body image self-evaluation. Cosmetic superiority of Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy (RATT) over conventional thyroide...
