MILS in a general surgery unit: learning curve, indications, and limitations.

Updates in surgery
Minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) is going to be a method with a wide diffusion even in general surgery units. Organization, learning curve effect, and the environment are crucial issues to evaluate before starting a program of minimally invasi...

Predicting length of stay after robotic partial nephrectomy.

International urology and nephrology
INTRODUCTION: To investigate factors predictive of length of stay (LOS) after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) in an effort to identify patients suitable for RPN with overnight stay at outpatient surgical facilities.

Respiratory gas exchange during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Journal of clinical anesthesia
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy requires patients to be secured in a steep Trendelenburg position for several hours. Added to the CO2 pneumoperitoneum that is created, this positioning invariably restricts diaphragmatic a...

Salvage robot assisted radical prostatectomy: A propensity matched study of perioperative, oncological and functional outcomes.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
BACKGROUND: To report the perioperative, functional and oncological outcomes of salvage robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (s-RARP) in a propensity score-matched analysis.

Robot-Assisted Ureteral Reconstruction Using Buccal Mucosa.

Urology
OBJECTIVE: To describe the technique of robotic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty as a minimally invasive alternative method of ureteral reconstruction for proximal or multifocal ureteral strictures not amenable to primary anastomosis.

Computerized analysis of calcification of thyroid nodules as visualized by ultrasonography.

European journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to quantify computerized calcification features from ultrasonography (US) images of thyroid nodules in order to determine the ability to differentiate between malignant and benign thyroid nodules.

Multimodal data and machine learning for surgery outcome prediction in complicated cases of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: This study sought to predict postsurgical seizure freedom from pre-operative diagnostic test results and clinical information using a rapid automated approach, based on supervised learning methods in patients with drug-resistant focal sei...

The use of artificial neural networks to predict delayed discharge and readmission in enhanced recovery following laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.

Techniques in coloproctology
BACKGROUND: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be used to develop predictive tools to enable the clinical decision-making process. This study aimed to investigate the use of an ANN in predicting the outcomes from enhanced recovery after colorectal...

Metabolic parameters in type 2 diabetic patients with varying degrees of glycemic control during Ramadan: An observational study.

Journal of diabetes investigation
AIMS/INTRODUCTION: The changes in metabolic parameters in type 2 diabetic patients who fast during Ramadan have not been studied in Singapore. This study aimed to examine the trends of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure, low-density...
