BACKGROUND: Given their ability to process highly dimensional datasets with hundreds of variables, machine learning algorithms may offer one solution to the vexing challenge of predicting postoperative pain.
OBJECTIVE: Although robotic surgery decreases pain compared to laparotomy, postoperative pain can be a concern near the site of a larger assistant trocar site. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) b...

INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery has been applied in managing various types of gynecologic cancers. The purpose of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of robotic surgery, laparoscopy and laparotomy for managing endometrial cancer.
Recent reports of multivariate machine learning (ML) techniques have highlighted their potential use to detect prognostic and diagnostic markers of pain. However, applications to date have focussed on acute experimental nociceptive stimuli rather tha...
This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML)-based model to identify risk factors for postoperative pain following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This retrospective study a...
BACKGROUND: Despite advances in pain management, inadequate pain relief and opioid-related adverse events remain common challenges in perioperative care, often contributing to prolonged recovery and reduced quality of life. The perioperative opioid a...
