BACKGROUND: Automatic High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) landmark detection methods promise to improve the effectiveness and standardisation of HTO preoperative planning. Unfortunately, due to the limited number of HTO datasets, existing methods are less ro...
Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain parenchymal tumor yet remains challenging to treat. The current standard of care-resection and chemoradiation-is limited in part due to the genetic heterogeneity of glioblastoma. Previous studies have i...

OBJECTIVES: In Japan, endoscopic resection (ER) is often used to treat esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) when invasion depths are diagnosed as EP-SM1, whereas ESCC cases deeper than SM2 are treated by surgical operation or chemoradiotherapy. ...
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 ...
PURPOSE: The type of pituitary adenoma (PA) cannot be clearly recognized with preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but can be classified with immunohistochemical staining after surgery. In this study, a model to precisely immunohistochemical...
The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) is the most commonly used free flap in mastectomy reconstruction. Preoperative imaging techniques are routinely used to detect location, diameter and course of perforators, with direct intervention from ...
BACKGROUND: There is an ongoing debate about expanding the resection criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) guidelines. We sought to determine the factors that held the most prognostic weight in th...
