INTRODUCTION: Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (rPD) is a complex operation with a reported learning curve of 80 cases. Two recent graduates of a formal robotic complex general surgical oncology training program have been performing rPD at our institu...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of low-dose CT (LDCT) with deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) for the surveillance of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) compared with standard-dose CT (SDCT) with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (...
Robotic surgery has technical advantages including high optical magnification and articulation of forceps. However, the surgical field tends to be narrow due to the high magnification, and the forceps have no tactile sensation. A case of severe intra...

BACKGROUND: Fatty pancreas is associated with inflammatory and neoplastic pancreatic diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic modality of choice for measuring pancreatic fat. Measurements typically use regions of interest limited ...
BACKGROUND: Early detection of solid pancreatic masses through contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound (CH-EUS) is important. But CH-EUS is difficult to learn.
Pancreatic masses are diverse in type, often making their clinical management challenging. This study aims to address the task of various types of pancreatic mass segmentation and detection while accurately segmenting the pancreas. Although convoluti...
BACKGROUND: Difficulty scoring systems are important for the safe, stepwise implementation of new procedures. We designed a retrospective observational study for building a difficulty score for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy.
