A Novel Artificial Intelligence Model for Symmetry Evaluation in Breast Cancer Patients.

Aesthetic plastic surgery
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 ...

Controversies and strengths of robot-assisted mastectomy.

European journal of cancer prevention : the official journal of the European Cancer Prevention Organisation (ECP)
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...

Robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction with gel implant and latissimus dorsi muscle flap: Our initial experience.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: This study reports the preliminary results of da Vinci robot XI robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy immediate breast reconstruction (R-NSMIBR) with gel implant and latissimus dorsi muscle flap.

Geometric and dosimetric evaluation of deep learning based auto-segmentation for clinical target volume on breast cancer.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Recently, target auto-segmentation techniques based on deep learning (DL) have shown promising results. However, inaccurate target delineation will directly affect the treatment planning dose distribution and the effect of subsequent radi...

Early experience of robotic axillary lymph node dissection in patients with node-positive breast cancer.

Breast cancer research and treatment
BACKGROUND: Robotic surgical systems enable surgeons to perform precise movement in the surgical field using high-resolution 3D vision and flexible robotic instruments. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing axillary lymph node...

Analysis of robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy using the da Vinci SP system.

Journal of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: As patients tend to be diagnosed with breast cancer at an early stage, the demand for better cosmetic outcomes has increased. Several studies revealed that robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM) shows favorable outcomes. The aim ...

Prospective pilot study protocol evaluating the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM).

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) can be performed for the treatment of breast cancer and risk reduction, but total mammary glandular excision in NSM can be technically challenging. Minimally invasive robot-assisted NSM (RNSM) has the pot...
