AIM: This study evaluates the relationship of tumour and anatomical features with operative difficulty in robotic low anterior resection performed by four experienced surgeons in a high-volume colorectal cancer practice.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of a deep-learning (DL)-based three-dimensional (3D) super-resolution (SR) MRI radiomics model for preoperative T-staging prediction in rectal cancer (RC).
AIM: Although MRI has a substantial role in directing treatment decisions for locally advanced rectal cancer, precise interpretation of the findings is not necessarily available at every institution. In this study, we aimed to develop artificial inte...
