BACKGROUND: Recently, several case reports and limited randomized studies have shown that quadratus lumborum blocks (QLB) are effective in providing pain relief after intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal operations. Additionally, robot-assisted partia...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is a favored surgical approach for treating prostate cancer. However, RALP does not decrease postoperative pain significantly despite its minimal invasiveness. The pain associated with robo...
This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of back propagation (BP) artificial neural network model for predicting postoperative pain following root canal treatment (RCT). The BP neural network model was developed using MATLAB 7.0 neural network toolb...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has replaced open prostatectomy. However, RALP does not reduce postoperative pain compared to the open approach. We explored whether bundled intraoperative intrav...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between preoperative physical performance with short- and long-term postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion (LSF).
BACKGROUND: Although commercially available analgesic indices based on biosignal processing have been used to quantify nociception during general anesthesia, their performance is low in conscious patients. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new ...
BACKGROUND: Recently, robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is increasingly applied to lung or mediastinal tumor surgery. However, appropriate methods of postoperative analgesia for RATS have not been studied.
BACKGROUD: Postoperative pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may hamper patients from a rapid recovery and increase perioperative blood loss and stress on the cardiovascular system. Therefore, our objective was to assess perioperative outcom...
