Robot-assisted laparoscopic retroperitoneal donor nephrectomy: a safe and efficient improvement.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: Reducing operative injuries is important in living donor nephrectomy. The robot-assisted transperitoneal approach has some advantages than traditional laparoscopic techniques. However, longer operation time and risks of abdominal complicatio...

3D auto-segmentation of biliary structure of living liver donors using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography for enhanced preoperative planning.

International journal of surgery (London, England)
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop an automated segmentation system for biliary structures using a deep learning model, based on data from magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).

Improved Arterial Stiffness Indices 3 and 6 Months after Living-donor Renal Transplantation.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Arterial stiffness is a non-traditional risk factor of cardiovascular disease and may explain part of the excess cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease patients. Successful renal transplantation (RT) may restore renal function and improve seve...

Improved assessment of donor liver steatosis using Banff consensus recommendations and deep learning algorithms.

Journal of hepatology
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The Banff Liver Working Group recently published consensus recommendations for steatosis assessment in donor liver biopsy, but few studies reported their use and no automated deep-learning algorithms based on the proposed criteria ...

Deep Learning-Based Survival Analysis for Receiving a Steatotic Donor Liver Versus Waiting for a Standard Liver.

Transplantation proceedings
BACKGROUND: An emerging strategy to expand the donor pool is the use of a steatotic donor liver (SDLs; ≥ 30% macrosteatosis on biopsy). With the obesity epidemic and prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, SDLs have been reported in 59% of al...

Estimation of right lobe graft weight for living donor liver transplantation using deep learning-based fully automatic computed tomographic volumetry.

Scientific reports
This study aimed at developing a fully automatic technique for right lobe graft weight estimation using deep learning algorithms. The proposed method consists of segmentation of the full liver region from computed tomography (CT) images, classificati...

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy: superior outcomes after completion of the learning curve.

Journal of robotic surgery
The use of robots in donor nephrectomy has increased in recent years. However, whether robot-assisted methods have better outcomes than traditional laparoscopic methods and how surgical experience influences these outcomes remains unclear. This meta-...

Robotic donor nephrectomy: optimizing outcomes beyond the limitations of laparoscopy.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robotic donor nephrectomy (RDN) has emerged as a safe alternate to laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN), offering improved visualization, instrument dexterity and ergonomics. There is still concern about how to safely transition from LDN ...
