OBJECTIVE: Post-operative length of hospital stay (LOS) is a valuable measure for monitoring quality of care provision, patient recovery, and guiding hospital resource management. But the impact of patient ethnicity, socio-economic deprivation as mea...
BACKGROUND: Virtual and augmented reality surgical simulators, integrated with machine learning, are becoming essential for training psychomotor skills, and analyzing surgical performance. Despite the promise of methods like the Connection Weights Al...
Spinal fusion surgery requires highly accurate implantation of pedicle screw implants, which must be conducted in critical proximity to vital structures with a limited view of the anatomy. Robotic surgery systems have been proposed to improve placeme...

BACKGROUND: Dysphonia is one of the more common complications following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). ACDF is the gold standard for treating degenerative cervical spine disorders, and identifying high-risk patients is therefore cruc...
With the emergence of numerous classifications, surgical treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can be guided more effectively. However, surgical decision-making and optimal strategies still lack standardization and personalized customiz...
BACKGROUND: To develop and validate a model that integrates clinical data, deep learning radiomics, and radiomic features to predict high-risk patients for cage subsidence (CS) after lumbar fusion.
AIMS: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery can reduce pain and disability. However, the actual surgical efficacy of ASD in doing so is far from desirable, with frequent complications and limited improvement in quality of life. The accurate prediction...
