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.
Recently, spine surgery has gradually evolved from conventional open surgery to minimally invasive surgery, and endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) has become an important procedure in minimally invasive spine surgery. With improvements in the optics, spi...
OBJECTIVE: Machine learning (ML) is an innovative method to analyze large and complex data sets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of ML to identify predictors of early postsurgical and long-term outcomes in patients treated for Cushing d...
