BACKGROUND: It is unknown whether the da Vinci single-port system performs similarly to the previous multi-port system during complicated procedures, such as rectal cancer surgery. Therefore, we compared the short-term clinical outcomes of single-por...
BACKGROUND: Cancer biomarkers play a pivotal role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response prediction of the disease. In this study, we analyzed the expression levels of RhoB and DNp73 proteins in rectal cancer, as captured in immunohistoc...
BACKGROUND: Endoluminal surgery is increasingly recognized as a mode of treatment for colorectal neoplasms with the latest robotic single port platform Da Vinci-SP (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale) facilitating submucosal dissection of benign rectal ne...
The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) plays a crucial prognostic and predictive role in solid malignancies such as colorectal cancer (CRC). Nevertheless, scoring systems based on TIME such as the Immunoscore (IS) are rarely used in clinical practi...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of ultra-high-resolution acquisition and deep learning reconstruction (DLR) on the image quality and diagnostic performance of T2-weighted periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines wit...
AIM: To evaluate a natural language processing (NLP) system for extracting structured information from the free-form text of rectal cancer magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports written in Chinese.
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare perioperative, long-term oncological, and anorectal functional outcomes of robotic total mesorectal excision (R-TME) and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (L-TME) sphincter-saving total mesorectal excision...
BACKGROUND: The surgical resection of rectal carcinoma is associated with a high risk of permanent stoma rate. Primary anastomosis rate is suggested to be higher in robot-assisted and transanal total mesorectal excision, but permanent stoma rate is u...
The surgical management of rectal cancer is shifting toward more widespread use of robotics across a spectrum of medical centers. There is evidence that the oncologic outcomes are equivalent to laparoscopic resections, and the post-operative outcomes...
Multiple linear stapler firings is a risk factor for anastomotic leakage (AL) in laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) using double stapling technique (DST) anastomosis. In this study, our objective was to establish the risk factors for ≥ 3 linea...
