BACKGROUND: Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) following laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is a critical complication that significantly worsens patient outcomes. However, the heterogeneity of its risk factors and...
Ovarian cancer is associated with high rates of patient mortality and morbidity. Laparoscopic assessment of tumor localization can be used for treatment planning in newly diagnosed high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). While spread to multiple...
INTRODUCTION: The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the assessment of procedural skills on a simulation platform using the global rating scale (GRS) has shown promise. Our team developed an open-source, low-cost simulation platform for t...
Surgical instrument segmentation is recognised as a key enabler in providing advanced surgical assistance and improving computer-assisted interventions. In this work, we propose SegMatch, a semi-supervised learning method to reduce the need for expen...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to improve healthcare and patient safety and is currently being adopted across various fields of medicine and healthcare. AI and in particular computer vision (CV) are well suited to the analysis of mini...
PURPOSE: Fluorescence imaging is critical for intraoperative intestinal perfusion assessment in colorectal surgery, yet its clinical adoption remains limited by subjective interpretation and lack of quantitative standards. This study introduces an in...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model for the surgical report output of laparoscopic lymph node dissection in the suprapancreatic region during gastric cancer surgery.
The accurate recognition of surgical instruments is essential for the advancement of intraoperative artificial intelligence (AI) systems. In this study, we assessed the YOLOv8 model's efficacy in identifying robotic and laparoscopic instruments in ro...
