BACKGROUND: Extended pelvic nodal dissection (ePLND) represents the gold standard for nodal staging in prostate cancer (PCa). Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioguided surgery (RGS) could identify lymph node invasion (LNI) during robot-as...
PURPOSE: Over 4.83 million spine surgery procedures are performed annually around the world. With the considerable caseload and the precision needed to achieve optimal spinal instrumentation, technical progress has helped to improve the technique's s...
BACKGROUND: As a pioneer center in the field of stereotaxy, Sainte-Anne school has always advocated the use of intraoperative imaging for stereotactic procedures to optimize both safety and accuracy. With the advent of intraoperative mobile CT unit, ...
This is a review focused on advances and current limitations of computer vision (CV) and how CV can help us obtain to more autonomous actions in surgery. It is a follow-up article to one that we previously published in entitled, "Artificial Intellig...
