Partially automated robotic systems, such as camera holders, represent a pivotal step towards enhancing efficiency and precision in surgical procedures. Therefore, this paper introduces an approach for real-time tool localization in laparoscopy surge...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance surgical practice by predicting anatomical structures within the surgical field, thereby supporting surgeons' experiences and cognitive skills. Preserving and utilising nerves as c...
Simulators are widely used in medical education, but objective and automatic assessment is not feasible with low-fidelity simulators, which can be solved with artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) solutions. The effectiveness of a cus...

PURPOSE: Augmented reality guidance in laparoscopic liver resection requires the registration of a preoperative 3D model to the intraoperative 2D image. However, 3D-2D liver registration poses challenges owing to the liver's flexibility, particularly...
PURPOSE: Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is a difficult procedure for early career surgeons. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based surgical step recognition is crucial for establishing context-aware computer-aided surgery systems. In this study, w...
BACKGROUND: Iatrogenic ureteral injury is a serious complication of abdominopelvic surgery. Identifying the ureters intraoperatively is essential to avoid iatrogenic ureteral injury. We developed a model that may minimize this complication.
BACKGROUND: Delayed clinically important postoperative nausea and vomiting (CIPONV) could lead to significant consequences following surgery. We aimed to develop a prediction model for it using machine learning algorithms utilizing perioperative data...

PURPOSE: The development of innovative solutions, such as simulator training and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tutoring systems, has significantly changed surgical trainees' environments to receive the intraoperative instruction necessary for ...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a critical complication of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG). However, there are no widely recognized anatomical landmarks to prevent POPF during LG. This study aimed to identify anatomical landmarks...

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...
