BACKGROUND: Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) has been shown to improve continence. However, questions remain regarding feasibility and generalizability of technique and outcomes.

PURPOSE: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the number of diagnosis is growing worldwide due to increased exposure to solar radiation and the aging population. Reduction of positive margin rates when removing BCC lea...
BACKGROUND: Several authors claimed that the Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) needs a prolonged learning curve, and outcomes during this phase could be suboptimal.
To determine the effect of positive surgical margins (PSMs) on oncologic outcomes following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and to identify factors that increase the likelihood of adverse oncologic outcomes. A multi-institutional database...
Gliomas are infiltrative brain tumors with a margin difficult to identify. 5-ALA induced PpIX fluorescence measurements are a clinical standard, but expert-based classification models still lack sensitivity and specificity. Here a fully automatic clu...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning classification approach to distinguish cancerous from noncancerous regions within optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of breast tissue for potential use in an intraoperative s...

INTRODUCTION: Open Simple Enucleation (OSE) has been demonstrated to be an oncologically safe alternative to standard partial nephrectomy. We assessed the mid-term oncologic outcomes and predictors of disease recurrence in patients treated with Endos...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive thymectomy (MIT) has demonstrated improved short-term outcomes compared with open thymectomy (OT). Although adoption of MIT for thymoma is increasing, oncologic outcomes have not been well characterized.
