BACKGROUND: During robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), the use of electrocautery near the neurovascular bundles (NVBs) frequently results in thermal injury to the cavernous nerves. The cut and "touch" monopolar cautery technique has been s...
BACKGROUND: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) can guide the surgical plan during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), and intraoperative frozen section (IFS) can facilitate real-time surgical margin assessment.
Although single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP) is considered a safe and feasible approach for radical prostatectomy, the comparative performance of the SP robot with earlier models, including da Vinci Xi or Si, is elusive. This ...

PURPOSE: Aim of this study was to evaluate a fully automated deep learning network named Efficient Neural Network (ENet) for segmentation of prostate gland with median lobe enlargement compared to manual segmentation.
PURPOSE: Developing large-scale datasets with research-quality annotations is challenging due to the high cost of refining clinically generated markup into high precision annotations. We evaluated the direct use of a large dataset with only clinicall...

PURPOSE: Intra-operative augmented reality (AR) during surgery can mitigate incomplete cancer removal by overlaying the anatomical boundaries extracted from medical imaging data onto the camera image. In this paper, we present the first such complete...
Preoperative assessment of the proximity of critical structures to the tumors is crucial in avoiding unnecessary damage during prostate cancer treatment. A patient-specific 3D anatomical model of those structures, namely the neurovascular bundles (NV...
Prostate cancer (PCa), the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, is a relatively slow-growing malignancy with multiple early treatment options. Yet, a significant number of low-risk PCa patients are over-diagnosed and over-treated wit...
