Exploring the Combination of Computer Vision and Surgical Neuroanatomy: A Workflow Involving Artificial Intelligence for the Identification of Skull Base Foramina.

World neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: The skull base is a complex region in neurosurgery, featuring numerous foramina. Accurate identification of these foramina is imperative to avoid intraoperative complications and to facilitate educational progress in neurosurgical trainee...

Deep learning to predict risk of lateral skull base cerebrospinal fluid leak or encephalocele.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Skull base features, including increased foramen ovale (FO) cross-sectional area, are associated with lateral skull base spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (sCSF) leak and encephalocele. Manual measurement requires skill in interpreting imaging...

Assessing the Readability, Reliability, and Quality of AI-Modified and Generated Patient Education Materials for Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery.

American journal of rhinology & allergy
BACKGROUND: Despite National Institutes of Health and American Medical Association recommendations to publish online patient education materials at or below sixth-grade literacy, those pertaining to endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) have lacked re...

Diagnosis of skull-base invasion by nasopharyngeal tumors on CT with a deep-learning approach.

Japanese journal of radiology
PURPOSE: To develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to diagnose skull-base invasion by nasopharyngeal malignancies in CT images and evaluate the model's diagnostic performance.

A first exploration of the economic consequences of an autonomous surgical robot for lateral skull base surgery: an early health technology assessment.

International journal of technology assessment in health care
OBJECTIVES: Lateral skull base procedures, such as translabyrinthine approach (TLA), are challenging. An autonomous surgical robot might be a solution to these challenges. Our aim is to explore in an early phase the economic consequences of an autono...

Robotic Handle Prototypes for Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery: Pre-clinical Randomised Controlled Trial of Performance and Ergonomics.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery is a promising alternative to transcranial approaches. However, standard instruments lack articulation, and thus, could benefit from robotic technologies. The aim of this study was to develop an ergonomic handl...

Design and analysis of a continuum robot for transnasal skull base surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The traditional surgical instruments for transnasal endoscopic skull base surgery have poor flexibility and continuum robot has attracted extensive attention for its high dexterity and safety.

The Future of Skull Base Surgery: A View Through Tinted Glasses.

World neurosurgery
In the present report, we have broadly outlined the potential advances in the field of skull base surgery, which might occur within the next 20 years based on the many areas of current research in biology and technology. Many of these advances will a...
