Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia involves visualizing sono-anatomy to guide needle insertion and the perineural injection of local anesthetic. Anatomical knowledge and recognition of anatomical structures on ultrasound are known to be imperfect ...
Accepting surgical complications, especially those related to the learning curve, as unavoidable events in colorectal procedures, is like accepting to fly onboard an aircraft with a 10% to 20% chance of not arriving at final destination. Under this c...
Postgraduate training in surgical specialties is one of the longest training programmes in the medical field. Most of the surgical training programmes require 5-6 years of postgraduate training to become qualified. This is usually followed by 1-2 yea...
IMPORTANCE: Accurate assessment of wound area and percentage of granulation tissue (PGT) are important for optimizing wound care and healing outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based wound assessment tools have the potential to improve the accurac...
Sensor technologies and data collection practices are changing and improving quality metrics across various domains. Surgical skill assessment in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS) is essential for training and quality assurance. The ...
INTRODUCTION: To implement a mastery-based robotic surgery curriculum using virtual reality (VR) and inanimate reality (IR) drills at multiple Complex General Surgical Oncology (CGSO) fellowships.
BACKGROUND: Transoral robotic surgery has been successfully used by head and neck surgeons for a variety of procedures but is limited by rigid instrumentation and line-of-sight visualization. Non-linear systems specifically designed for the aerodiges...
To investigate validity evidence for a simulator-based test in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The test consisted of three modules on the RobotiX Mentor VR-simulator: and . Validity evidence was investigated by using Messick's framewo...
IMPORTANCE: An increasing number of machine learning (ML)-based clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) are described in the medical literature, but this research focuses almost entirely on comparing CDSS directly with clinicians (human vs computer...
