BACKGROUND: There is a growing need to identify which bits of information are most valuable for healthcare providers. The aim of this study was to search for the highest impact variables in predicting postsurgery length of stay (LOS) for patients who...
BACKGROUND: Perforated gastrojejunal ulcers are a known complication following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery requiring emergent surgical repair. The robotic approach has not been evaluated for emergency general surgery.
The accurate prediction of likely discharges and estimates of length of stay (LOS) aid in effective hospital administration and help to prevent access block. Machine learning (ML) may be able to help with these tasks. For consecutive patients admitte...

Studies regarding the influence of diabetes on perioperative outcomes after major hepatectomy are conflicting. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of diabetes on patients undergoing robotic major hepatectomy. With Institutional Revi...
BACKGROUND: We investigate the incidence and risk factors for post-operative outcomes including chyle leak following minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).
Thoracolaparoscopic esophagectomy (TLE) for carcinoma esophagus has better short-term outcomes compared to open esophagectomy. The precise role of robot-assisted laparoscopic esophagectomy (RALE) is still evolving. Single center retrospective analysi...
The new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a challenge for clinical decision-making and the effective allocation of healthcare resources. An accurate prognostic assessment is necessary to improve survival of patients, especially in developing countrie...
