The Importance of the Institution of a Robotic Curriculum on Resident Training and Performance.

The American surgeon
In 2018, general surgery topped the number of robotic cases. Over 90% of residents participate, but only 65% of programs have a formal curriculum, and less than half track progress. Many are insufficient at training due to an observational role. This...

Use of artificial intelligence for gender bias analysis in letters of recommendation for general surgery residency candidates.

American journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Letters of recommendation (LoRs) play an important role in resident selection. Author language varies implicitly toward male and female applicants. We examined gender bias in LoRs written for surgical residency candidates across three dec...

Developing a Robotic General Surgery Training Curriculum: Identifying Key Elements Through a Delphi Process.

Journal of surgical education
OBJECTIVE: A national robotic surgery curriculum is still developing for general surgery residents as robotic surgery becomes increasingly accessible. One general surgery residency program utilized a Delphi process to optimize a robotic surgery curri...

A Machine Learning Approach in Predicting Mortality Following Emergency General Surgery.

The American surgeon
BACKGROUND: There is a significant mortality burden associated with emergency general surgery (EGS) procedures. The objective of this study was to develop and validate the use of a machine learning approach to predict mortality following EGS.

Introduction of robotic surgery does not negatively affect cardiothoracic surgery resident experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
The objective of this study was to evaluate the educational impact following the implementation of a robotic thoracic surgery program on cardiothoracic (CT) surgery trainees. We hypothesized that the introduction of a robotic thoracic surgery program...

Robotic General Surgery Resident Training Curriculum: A Pilot Experience.

Surgical laparoscopy, endoscopy & percutaneous techniques
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to report the impact of a pilot robotic general surgery resident training curriculum.

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Surgical Science: Reality Versus Hype.

The Journal of surgical research
Artificial intelligence (AI) has made increasing inroads in clinical medicine. In surgery, machine learning-based algorithms are being studied for use as decision aids in risk prediction and even for intraoperative applications, including image recog...
