Multi-objective optimization framework to plan laser ablation procedure for prostate tumors through a genetic algorithm.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in the male population. While the survival rate is high, many patients undergo surgical procedures for prostate cancer that might never progress to clinical significance. As...

Querying the capability of the post-HoLEP endoscopic aspect of the membranous urethral mucosa in predicting urinary incontinence: a prospective AI-based analysis.

World journal of urology
INTRODUCTION: Transient stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) is commonly linked to intraoperative injury of the external urethral sphincter (EUS). We assessed the reliability of the post-HoLEP endoscop...

Physician Level Assessment of Hirsute Women and of Their Eligibility for Laser Treatment With Deep Learning.

Lasers in surgery and medicine
OBJECTIVES: Hirsutism is a widespread condition affecting 5%-15% of females. Laser treatment of hirsutism has the best long-term effect. Patients with nonpigmented or nonterminal hairs are not eligible for laser treatment, and the current patient jou...

A Machine Learning Predictive Model for Ureteroscopy Lasertripsy Outcomes in a Pediatric Population-Results from a Large Endourology Tertiary Center.

Journal of endourology
We aimed to develop machine learning (ML) algorithms for the automated prediction of postoperative ureteroscopy outcomes for pediatric kidney stones based on preoperative characteristics. Data from pediatric patients who underwent ureteroscopy for ...

Advancing laser ablation assessment in hyperspectral imaging through machine learning.

Computers in biology and medicine
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is gaining increasing relevance in medicine, with an innovative application being the intraoperative assessment of the outcome of laser ablation treatment used for minimally invasive tumor removal. However, the high dimens...

Transoral Laser-Assisted Infrahyoid Supraglottic Laryngectomy for Selected Patients With Supraglottic Cancer.

Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
Supraglottic laryngectomy has evolved from open to transoral endoscopic approaches with advancements in surgical techniques and instruments such as lasers, endoscopes, ultrasonic devices, and robotics. Transoral laser-assisted microsurgery has emerge...

Perioperative Outcome of Thulium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate versus Robot-Assisted Simple Prostatectomy: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.

Urologia internationalis
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare clinical safety and efficiency of Thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) and robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) for the treatment of large gland benign prostatic h...

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy following holmium laser enucleation of the prostate: perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with previous holmium laser enucleation of the prostate is challenging, and few studies have analyzed its perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes. Here we retrospectively evaluated 298 robot-assisted r...

Accuracy of robot-assisted stereotactic MRI-guided laser ablation in children with epilepsy.

Journal of neurosurgery. Pediatrics
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted (RA) stereotactic MRI-guided laser ablation has been reported to be a safe and effective technique for the treatment of epileptogenic foci in children and adults. In this study the authors aimed to assess the accuracy of RA ...

Completion of disconnective surgery for refractory epilepsy in pediatric patients using robot-assisted MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy.

Journal of neurosurgery. Pediatrics
OBJECTIVE: Since 2007, the authors have performed 34 hemispherotomies and 17 posterior quadrant disconnections (temporoparietooccipital [TPO] disconnections) for refractory epilepsy at Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children's Hospital. Incomplete discon...
