Single-Port Multiport Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Propensity Score Matching Comparative Study.

Journal of endourology
The aim of this study was to compare the perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent single-port (SP) robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) (SP-RARP) with those who underwent multiport (MP) RARP (MP-RARP). Data on 40 consecutive patients...

Comparison of Surgical Outcomes Between Enucleation and Standard Resection in Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy for Completely Endophytic Renal Tumors Through a 1:1 Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.

Journal of endourology
Robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for completely endophytic renal tumors is challenging because of the tumor complexity. The enucleation technique is an ideal resection method to maximally preserve the renal parenchyma. In the p...

Deep Learning-based Propensity Scores for Confounding Control in Comparative Effectiveness Research: A Large-scale, Real-world Data Study.

Epidemiology (Cambridge, Mass.)
BACKGROUND: Due to the non-randomized nature of real-world data, prognostic factors need to be balanced, which is often done by propensity scores (PSs). This study aimed to investigate whether autoencoders, which are unsupervised deep learning archit...

Reflection on modern methods: when worlds collide-prediction, machine learning and causal inference.

International journal of epidemiology
Causal inference requires theory and prior knowledge to structure analyses, and is not usually thought of as an arena for the application of prediction modelling. However, contemporary causal inference methods, premised on counterfactual or potential...

Comparative outcomes of robot-assisted minimally invasive versus open esophagectomy in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a propensity score-weighted analysis.

Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
Robots are increasingly used in minimally invasive surgery. We evaluated the clinical benefits of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) in comparison with the conventional open esophageal surgery. From 2012 to 2016, 371 patients wit...

Incidence and location of positive surgical margin among open, laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer patients: a single institutional analysis.

Japanese journal of clinical oncology
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the positive surgical margin rates and locations in radical prostatectomy among three surgical approaches, including open radical prostatectomy, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
