BACKGROUND: Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers an approach to predictive modeling. The model learns to determine specific patterns of undesirable outcomes in a dataset. Therefore, a decision-making algorithm can be built based on these patterns to p...
BACKGROUND: Although there is increasing interest in minimally invasive prosthesis breast reconstruction (PBR), whether meshes application in minimally invasive PBR can improve complications and cosmetic effects remains controversial. The author retr...
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a milestone for human technology. In medicine, AI is set to play an important role as we progress into a new era. In plastic surgery, AI can participate in breast symmetry assessment, which until now has ...
BACKGROUND: Robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM) has emerged as a new treatment option for breast cancer and risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM) for women who have a high risk of pathogenic variants. Even though several studies have reported that RNSM...
Indocyanine green-guided near-infrared fluorescence imaging has gained clinical acceptance lately. This technology can be particularly advantageous in the case of robotic flap harvest. This article presents a new approach to deep epigastric pedicle d...

Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is used to improve cosmetic outcomes while maintaining oncological safety in patients with early breast cancer; however, NSM requires a higher level of skill and workload than mastectomy and is associated with long, vi...
Recent reports have introduced robotic breast surgery for immediate breast reconstruction with an implant. However, relevant reports of robot-assisted breast reconstruction including capsulectomy are limited. Although capsulectomy lowers risk of caps...
