BACKGROUND: The landscape of robotic surgery is evolving with the emergence of new platforms. However, reports on their applicability in different surgical fields are still limited and come from teams with robotics experience. This study aims to desc...
BACKGROUND: Most intraoperative adverse events (iAEs) result from surgeons' errors, and bleeding is the majority of iAEs. Recognizing active bleeding timely is important to ensure safe surgery, and artificial intelligence (AI) has great potential for...
Minimally invasive surgery is safe and effective in colorectal cancer. Conversion to open surgery may be associated with adverse effects on treatment outcomes. This study aimed to assess risk factors of conversion from minimally invasive to open cole...
BACKGROUND: There is an increasing demand for automated surgical skill assessment to solve issues such as subjectivity and bias that accompany manual assessments. This study aimed to verify the feasibility of assessing surgical skills using a surgica...
BACKGROUND: In the worldwide, real-life setting, some candidates for right colectomy still receive no bowel preparation, some receive oral antibiotics alone, some receive mechanical bowel preparation alone, and some receive mechanical bowel preparati...
BACKGROUND: The relative proportion of clinical compared with nonclinical influences on length of stay after colectomy has never been measured. We developed a novel machine-learning framework that quantifies the proportion of length of stay after col...
