INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence has been rapidly deployed in gastroenterology and endoscopy. The acceleration of deep convolutional neural networks along with hardware development has allowed implementation of artificial intelligence algorithms...
Diagnosing distal bile duct obstruction remains challenging. This study aimed to examine the diagnostic ability of artificial intelligence (AI) based on clinical biomarkers in diagnosing malignant distal bile duct obstruction. A total of 206 patients...
BACKGROUND: Combined liver and bile duct resection with biliary reconstruction for hepatobiliary malignancies are defined as highly complex surgical procedures. The robotic platform may overcome some major limitations of conventional laparoscopic sur...

The progress of research focused on cholangiocytes and the biliary tree during development and following injury is hindered by limited available quantitative methodologies. Current techniques include two-dimensional standard histological cell-countin...
BACKGROUND: Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) is a contrast-enhanced X-ray acquired during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. IOC images the biliary tree whereby filling defects, anatomical anomalies and duct injuries can be identified. In Australia, I...
To improve the efficiency of pathological diagnoses, the development of automatic pathological diagnostic systems using artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing; however, problems include the low interpretability of AI technology and the need for ...
BACKGROUND: The authors previously developed an artificial intelligence (AI) to assist cytologists in the evaluation of digital whole-slide images (WSIs) generated from bile duct brushing specimens. The aim of this trial was to assess the efficiency ...
Pure laparoscopic donor hepatectomy (PLDH) has become a standard practice for living donor liver transplantation in expert centers. Accurate understanding of biliary structures is crucial during PLDH to minimize the risk of complications. This study ...
BACKGROUND: The surgical difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for acute cholecystitis (AC) and the risk of bile duct injury (BDI) depend on the degree of fibrosis and scarring caused by inflammation; therefore, understanding these intraope...
PURPOSE: Bile duct injury (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a dreaded complication. Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently been introduced in surgery. This systematic review aims to investigate whether AI can guide surgeons in iden...
