PURPOSE: This Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN) study had two aims: (1) to compare the predictive performance of the original ETV Success Score (ETVSS) using logistic regression modeling with other newer machine learning models and (2) t...
OBJECTIVE: The Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Success Score (ETVSS) is a useful decision-making heuristic when considering the probability of surgical success, defined traditionally as no repeat cerebrospinal fluid diversion surgery needed within 6...

OBJECTIVE: This study addresses challenges in surgical education, particularly in neuroendoscopy, where the demand for optimized workflow conflicts with the need for trainees' active participation in surgeries. To overcome these challenges, we propos...
BACKGROUND: Superior surgical skill improves surgical outcomes in endoscopic pituitary adenoma surgery. Video-based coaching programs, pioneered in professional sports, have shown promise in surgical training. In this study, we developed and assessed...
BACKGROUND: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak during endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery can lead to postoperative complications. The clinical and anatomic risk factors of intraoperative CSF leak are not well defined. We applied a two-dimension...

Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques offer improved instrument precision and dexterity, reduced patient trauma and risk, and promise to lessen the skill gap among surgeons. These approaches are common in general surgery, urolog...
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the usefulness and performance of a two-stage attention-aware convolutional neural network (CNN) for the automated diagnosis of otitis media from tympanic membrane (TM) images.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a popular type of deep neural network, have been actively applied to image recognition, object detection, object localization, semantic segmentation, and object instance segmentation. Accordingly, the applicabili...
BACKGROUND: Although robotics has already been applied to several surgical fields, available systems are not designed for endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS). New conception prototypes have been recently described for ESBS. The aim of this study was...

PURPOSE: The hysteresis operation is an outstanding issue in tendon-driven actuation--which is used in robot-assisted surgery--as it is incompatible with kinematic mapping for control and trajectory planning. Here, a new tendon-driven continuum robot...
