Semi-automatic sigmoid colon segmentation in CT for radiation therapy treatment planning via an iterative 2.5-D deep learning approach.

Medical image analysis
Automatic sigmoid colon segmentation in CT for radiotherapy treatment planning is challenging due to complex organ shape, close distances to other organs, and large variations in size, shape, and filling status. The patient bowel is often not evacuat...

[Functional Results after Laparoscopic versus Robot-assisted Sigmoid Resection in Diverticulitis].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie
BACKGROUND: Sigmoid resection in diverticulitis is one of the most frequently performed colonic operations. A minimally invasive approach by laparoscopy is the surgical gold standard. For a few years now, sigmoid resections have also been performed r...

RapidBrachyDL: Rapid Radiation Dose Calculations in Brachytherapy Via Deep Learning.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Detailed and accurate absorbed dose calculations from radiation interactions with the human body can be obtained with the Monte Carlo (MC) method. However, the MC method can be slow for use in the time-sensitive clinical workflow. The aim of...

Real-time automatic surgical phase recognition in laparoscopic sigmoidectomy using the convolutional neural network-based deep learning approach.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Automatic surgical workflow recognition is a key component for developing the context-aware computer-assisted surgery (CA-CAS) systems. However, automatic surgical phase recognition focused on colorectal surgery has not been reported. We ...

Deep learning-based intraoperative visual guidance model for ureter identification in laparoscopic sigmoidectomy.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Identifying the left ureter is a key step while performing laparoscopic sigmoid resection to prevent intraoperative injury and postoperative complications.

[A Case of Sigmoid Colon Cancer with Simultaneous Solitary Adrenal Metastasis Refractory to Preoperative Diagnosis].

Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy
A 72-year-old man was referred to our urology department due to a giant adrenal tumor detected by computed tomography( CT). Endocrine screening showed that cortisol, renin, aldosterone, adrenaline, and noradrenaline levels were all normal, and there ...

Robotic Repair of Supratrigonal Vesicovaginal Fistula with Sigmoid Epiploica Interposition.

JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: In the United States, vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) most often results from gynecologic surgery causing significant morbidity and distress to both the patient and surgeon. The use of tissue interposition at time of primary ...
