Does machine learning improve prediction accuracy of the Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Success Score? A contemporary Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network cohort study.

Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery
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...

Revisiting the Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Success Score using machine learning: can we do better?

Journal of neurosurgery. Pediatrics
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...

Interactive Surgical Training in Neuroendoscopy: Real-Time Anatomical Feature Localization Using Natural Language Expressions.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
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...

Video-Based Performance Analysis in Pituitary Surgery - Part 2: Artificial Intelligence Assisted Surgical Coaching.

World neurosurgery
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...

A Predictive Model for Intraoperative Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak During Endonasal Pituitary Adenoma Resection Using a Convolutional Neural Network.

World neurosurgery
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...

Design and Comparison of Magnetically-Actuated Dexterous Forceps Instruments for Neuroendoscopy.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
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...

Investigating the use of a two-stage attention-aware convolutional neural network for the automated diagnosis of otitis media from tympanic membrane images: a prediction model development and validation study.

BMJ open
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.

Automatic detection of tympanic membrane and middle ear infection from oto-endoscopic images via convolutional neural networks.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
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...

Robotic Transnasal Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery: Systematic Review of the Literature and Report of a Novel Prototype for a Hybrid System (Brescia Endoscope Assistant Robotic Holder).

World neurosurgery
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...

Tendon-driven continuum robot for neuroendoscopy: validation of extended kinematic mapping for hysteresis operation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
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...
