Development of an Automated Free Flap Monitoring System Based on Artificial Intelligence.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Meticulous postoperative flap monitoring is essential for preventing flap failure and achieving optimal results in free flap operations, for which physical examination has remained the criterion standard. Despite the high reliability of p...

The use of artificial intelligence in reconstructive surgery for head and neck cancer: a systematic review.

European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
OBJECTIVES: The popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) in head and neck cancer (HNC) management is increasing, but postoperative complications remain prevalent and are the main factor that impact prognosis after surgery. Hence, recent studies aim...

Length of Stay Prediction Models for Oral Cancer Surgery: Machine Learning, Statistical and ACS-NSQIP.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVE: Accurate prediction of hospital length of stay (LOS) following surgical management of oral cavity cancer (OCC) may be associated with improved patient counseling, hospital resource utilization and cost. The objective of this study was to c...

Robot-guided osteotomy in fibula free flap mandibular reconstruction: a preclinical study.

International journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery
Various methods currently exist to guide fibular osteotomy positioning in fibula free flap mandibular reconstruction, but patient-specific navigation methods and cutting guides require experience, and may be time-consuming and/or expensive. This stud...

Robot-assisted augmented reality surgical navigation based on optical tracking for mandibular reconstruction surgery.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: This work proposes a robot-assisted augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation system for mandibular reconstruction. The system accurately superimposes the preoperative osteotomy plan of the mandible and fibula into a real scene. It assists ...

Quantization of extraoral free flap monitoring for venous congestion with deep learning integrated iOS applications on smartphones: a diagnostic study.

International journal of surgery (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Free flap monitoring is essential for postmicrosurgical management and outcomes but traditionally relies on human observers; the process is subjective and qualitative and imposes a heavy burden on staffing. To scientifically monitor and q...

Head and neck reconstruction in the vessel depleted neck using robot-assisted harvesting of the internal mammary vessels.

The British journal of oral & maxillofacial surgery
We report a novel technique of robot-assisted harvesting of the internal mammary vessels to provide effective recipient vessels in a patient with bilateral vessel depleted neck (VDN). A 44-year-old with a Notani grade III osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of ...

Robot-assisted radial forearm free flap harvesting: a propensity score-matched case-control study.

Journal of robotic surgery
Although some surgeons prefer anterolateral thigh and latissimus dorsi flap for soft tissue reconstruction in the head and neck area because it minimizes donor site complications, the radial forearm flap remains the workhorse for soft tissue reconstr...
