INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) surgical risk calculator in predicting postoperative complications in pat...
HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE: The objective is to develop and validate an artificial intelligence model, specifically an artificial neural network (ANN), to predict length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and inpatient charges for primary anatomic total (...
BACKGROUND: Models that predict postoperative complications often ignore important intraoperative events and physiological changes. This study tested the hypothesis that accuracy, discrimination, and precision in predicting postoperative complication...
OBJECTIVE: To predict intra-operative (IOEs) and postoperative events (POEs) consequential to the derailment of the ideal clinical course of patient recovery.
BACKGROUND: Preoperative prognostication of adverse events (AEs) for patients undergoing surgery for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (LDS) can improve risk stratification and help guide the surgical decision-making process. The aim of this stud...

PURPOSE: In addition to incisional hernia, inguinal hernia is a recognized complication to radical retropubic prostatectomy. To compare the risk of developing inguinal and incisional hernias after open radical prostatectomy compared to robot-assisted...
Several case series have demonstrated the safety and feasibility of outpatient robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in well-selected patients; however, the patient perspective of this practice has not been well explored. In this study, we exp...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) may favorably support surgeons but can result in concern among patients and their relatives. The aim of this study was to evaluate attitudes of patients and their relatives regarding use of AI in neurosurgery.
OBJECTIVES: To present a comprehensive report regarding our experience with single-port robotic surgery in our first 100 consecutive patients. We describe the diversity of procedures that can be performed with this platform as well as the challenges ...
Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal Studer pouch formation (ICSPF) is increasingly being performed. Balbay's technique of ICSPF replicates the open approach with the additional advantages of inserting internal Double-J stent...
