PURPOSE: Patients with pharmacoresistant refractory epilepsy may require epilepsy surgery to prevent future seizure occurrences. Conventional surgery consists of a large craniotomy with straight rigid tools with associated outcomes of morbidity, larg...
Recent years have witnessed artificial intelligence (AI) make meteoric leaps in both medicine and surgery, bridging the gap between the capabilities of humans and machines. Digitization of operating rooms and the creation of massive quantities of dat...
OBJECTIVE: No accurate predictive models were identified for hormonal prognosis in non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA). This study aimed to develop machine learning (ML) models to facilitate the prognostic assessment of pituitary hormonal outcom...
