BACKGROUND: Traditional surgical education is based on observation and assistance in surgical practice. Recently introduced deep learning (DL) techniques enable the recognition of the surgical view and automatic identification of surgical landmarks. ...
PURPOSE: Several surgical-skill assessment tools emphasize the importance of efficient tissue-dissection, whose assessment relies on human judgment and is thus subject to bias. Automated assessment may help solve this problem. This study aimed to ver...

PURPOSE: In laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery, proper recognition of loose connective tissue, nerves, vas deferens, and microvessels is important to prevent postoperative complications, such as recurrence, pain, sexual dysfunction, and bleeding. E...
We present open-source tools for three-dimensional (3D) analysis of photographs of dissected slices of human brains, which are routinely acquired in brain banks but seldom used for quantitative analysis. Our tools can: (1) 3D reconstruct a volume fro...
Mass spectrometry-coupled cellular thermal shift assay (MS-CETSA), a biophysical principle-based technique that measures the thermal stability of proteins at the proteome level inside the cell, has contributed significantly to the understanding of dr...
Pancreatic tumor enucleation is a procedure that can preserve pancreatic function and is sometimes performed using a minimally invasive approach. Recently, a single-port robotic platform called da Vinci SP has been developed. However, the technical d...
BACKGROUND: Endoluminal surgery is increasingly recognized as a mode of treatment for colorectal neoplasms with the latest robotic single port platform Da Vinci-SP (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale) facilitating submucosal dissection of benign rectal ne...
The potential effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on the teaching of anatomy are unclear. We explore the hypothetical situation of human body donors being replaced by AI human body simulations and reflect on two separate ethical concerns: first, ...
