BACKGROUND: The Predictive Optimal Trees in Emergency Surgery Risk (POTTER) calculator, a widely used interpretable artificial intelligence risk calculator, has been validated in population-based studies and shown to predict outcomes in patients who ...
To evaluate the usefulness of robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy with four equally-spaced ports (RA-TLH/4e) without an assistant port. In RA-TLH/4e, four da Vinci ports were placed horizontally at a height of 4 cm above the umbilicus with...
To compare the perioperative outcomes of surgical staging performed using conventional laparotomy (LT) or the da Vinci SP robotic system (SP) in patients with endometrial cancer. We retrospectively analyzed 180 patients with stage I-III endometrial c...
INTRODUCTION: Patients undergoing laparotomy for emergency general surgery (EGS) conditions, constitute a high-risk group with poor outcomes. These patients have a high prevalence of comorbidities. This study aims to identify patient factors, physiol...
BACKGROUND: Fascial dehiscence following exploratory laparotomy is associated with significant morbidity and increased mortality. Previously published risk prediction models for fascial dehiscence are dated and limit a surgeon's ability to perform re...
