OBJECTIVE: To explore new metrics for assessing radical prostatectomy difficulty through a two-stage deep learning method from preoperative magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND: Devices that help educate young doctors and enable safe, minimally invasive surgery are needed. Eureka is a surgical artificial intelligence (AI) system that can intraoperatively highlight loose connective tissues (LCTs) in the dissected ...
BACKGROUND: Duodenal stump leakage is one of the most critical complications following gastrectomy surgery, with a high mortality rate. The present study aimed to establish a predictive model based on machine learning for forecasting the occurrence o...

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...
BACKGROUND: The preservation of the pelvic autonomic nervous system in total mesorectal excision remains challenging to date. The application of laparoscopy has enabled visualization of fine anatomical structures; however, the rate of urogenital dysf...
PURPOSE: Balancing surgical margins and functional outcomes is crucial during radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Stimulated Raman histology (SRH) is a novel, real-time imaging technique that provides histologic images of fresh, unprocessed, a...

A major challenge in image-guided laparoscopic surgery is that structures of interest often deform and go, even if only momentarily, out of view. Methods which rely on having an up-to-date impression of those structures, such as registration or local...
BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hemorrhage during laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) is a risk factor for negative postoperative outcomes. Ensuring appropriate hemostasis enhances the safety of surgical procedures. An automatic bleeding recognition system base...
Pure laparoscopic donor hepatectomy (PLDH) has become a standard practice for living donor liver transplantation in expert centers. Accurate understanding of biliary structures is crucial during PLDH to minimize the risk of complications. This study ...
