BACKGROUND: The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine whether transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) improves histopathology metrics and/or complication rates when compared to robotic total mesorectal excision (R-TME) of resectable rectal c...
BACKGROUND: There is ongoing debate about whether or not robot-assisted thyroidectomy is appropriate for modified radical neck dissection (MRND). The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of robot-assisted MRND with those of a co...
There is paucity of literature about the validation of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) surgical risk calculator for prediction of outcomes after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). We ...
This paper introduces a deep-learning based computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) system for the early detection of acute renal transplant rejection. For noninvasive detection of kidney rejection at an early stage, the proposed CAD system is based on the f...
