BACKGROUND: Dividing a surgical procedure into a sequence of identifiable and meaningful steps facilitates intraoperative video data acquisition and storage. These efforts are especially valuable for technically challenging procedures that require in...
Radiographic imaging is routinely used to evaluate treatment response in solid tumors. Current imaging response metrics do not reliably predict the underlying biological response. Here, we present a multi-task deep learning approach that allows simul...
Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is an emerging albeit complex technique to treat rectal cancer. The aim of this proof-of-concept preclinical study was to determine the technical feasibility of robotic taTME using the da Vinci SP (SP). Two...
After their first introduction in the 1990s to overcome the limitations of conventional laparoscopic surgery, especially in confined spaces such as the pelvis, telemanipulators (i.e., master-slave manipulators) have gained popularity and acceptance a...
BACKGROUND: To validate and compare various MRI-based radiomics models to evaluate treatment response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) of rectal cancer.
BACKGROUND: The number of abdominal procedures performed via a robotic-assisted approach is increasing as potential advantages of the modality are recognised. We report the first in human case series of major colorectal resection performed using a ne...
BACKGROUND: The new da Vinci Single-Port (SP) robot is a single-arm four-channel robotic system well suited for endoluminal surgery. We report our initial experience performing SP robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (SP rTAMIS) for rectal ne...

At the so-called in-bore, MRI-guided prostate biopsy, the radiologist in the MRI suite manually directs a rectal biopsy needle guide at an abnormality confirmed by a previous prostate MRI. This manual technique of taking a biopsy is time-consuming an...
