Landmark artery identification in the neurovascular bundle (NVB) is important for nerve-sparing in radical prostatectomy. We aimed to investigate intraoperative angiography using indocyanine green and near-infrared fluorescence (ICG-NIRF) during robo...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of single-port transaxillary robotic modified radical neck dissection (STAR-RND) for metastatic thyroid cancer, and its potential to make small and invisible surgical wounds possible compared...
We aimed to report a comprehensive outcome analysis of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies (RALP) performed by a single surgeon and compared it to retropubic radical prostatectomies (RRP) done by the same surgeon in a high-volume center. Preo...

OBJECTIVES: Postoperative urinary incontinence recovery following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is an important outcome. We investigated whether factors that affect urinary incontinence can predict the duration of postoperative incontinen...
Dose delivery uncertainty is a major concern in proton therapy, adversely affecting the treatment precision and outcome. Recently, a promising technique, proton-acoustic (PA) imaging, has been developed to provide real-time3D dose verification. Howev...
In candidates to robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for locally advanced (iT3) prostate cancer on preoperative MRI, the performance of MRI for local staging is demonstrably suboptimal, and currently no prediction tools that might help surgeo...
Background CT imaging of chronic total occlusion (CTO) is useful in guiding revascularization, but manual reconstruction and quantification are time consuming. Purpose To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model for automated CTO reconstructio...
