Deep Learning for Adjacent Segment Disease at Preoperative MRI for Cervical Radiculopathy.

Radiology
Background Patients who undergo surgery for cervical radiculopathy are at risk for developing adjacent segment disease (ASD). Identifying patients who will develop ASD remains challenging for clinicians. Purpose To develop and validate a deep learnin...

Artificial intelligence predicts disk re-herniation following lumbar microdiscectomy: development of the "RAD" risk profile.

European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society
PURPOSE: Surgical treatment of herniated lumbar intervertebral disks is a common procedure worldwide. However, recurrent herniated nucleus pulposus (re-HNP) may develop, complicating outcomes and patient management. The purpose of this study was to u...

Can natural language processing provide accurate, automated reporting of wound infection requiring reoperation after lumbar discectomy?

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections are a major driver of morbidity and increased costs in the postoperative period after spine surgery. Current tools for surveillance of these adverse events rely on prospective clinical tracking, manual retrospecti...

Machine learning for prediction of sustained opioid prescription after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The severity of the opioid epidemic has increased scrutiny of opioid prescribing practices. Spine surgery is a high-risk episode for sustained postoperative opioid prescription.

Deep learning-based preoperative predictive analytics for patient-reported outcomes following lumbar discectomy: feasibility of center-specific modeling.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: There is considerable variability in patient-reported outcome measures following surgery for lumbar disc herniation. Individualized prediction tools that are derived from center- or even surgeon-specific data could provide valuabl...

Robot-assisted multi-level anterior lumbar interbody fusion: an anatomical study.

Acta neurochirurgica
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgical approaches still provide limited exposure. Access to the L2-L5 intervertebral discs during a single procedure is challenging and often requires repositioning of the patient and adopting an alternative approach.

Risk factors for predicting increased surgical drain output in patients after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research
BACKGROUND: Although measures to reduce and treat the postoperative surgical drain output are discussed, along with the increased interest in causative factors related to the prevention and treatment reported by many studies, these are still controve...

Finding discriminative and interpretable patterns in sequences of surgical activities.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: Surgery is one of the riskiest and most important medical acts that is performed today. Understanding the ways in which surgeries are similar or different from each other is of major interest to understand and analyze surgical behaviors. T...
