Detection of flap malperfusion after microsurgical tissue reconstruction using hyperspectral imaging and machine learning.

Scientific reports
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has shown significant diagnostic potential for both intra- and postoperative perfusion assessment. The purpose of this study was to combine machine learning and neural networks with HSI to develop a method for detecting fl...

Artificial intelligence-enabled simulation of gluteal augmentation: A helpful tool in preoperative outcome simulation?

Journal of plastic, reconstructive & aesthetic surgery : JPRAS
BACKGROUND: While the buttock region is considered an esthetic hallmark, the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) remains controversially discussed in the plastic surgery community. This is due to its contentious safety profile. Thus, informed consent and patie...

Novel Port Placement in Robot-Assisted DIEP Flap Harvest Improves Visibility and Bilateral DIEP Access: Early Controlled Cohort Study.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery
SUMMARY: To minimize donor-site damage, robot-assisted (RA) deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap harvest has been suggested. Current robotic approaches favor port placement, which either does not allow a bilateral DIEP flap harvest through...

Indocyanine Green-Guided Near-Infrared Fluorescence Enhances Vascular Anatomy in Robot-Assisted DIEP Flap Harvest.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery
Indocyanine green-guided near-infrared fluorescence imaging has gained clinical acceptance lately. This technology can be particularly advantageous in the case of robotic flap harvest. This article presents a new approach to deep epigastric pedicle d...

The usefulness of artificial intelligence in breast reconstruction: a systematic review.

Breast cancer (Tokyo, Japan)
BACKGROUND: Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers an approach to predictive modeling. The model learns to determine specific patterns of undesirable outcomes in a dataset. Therefore, a decision-making algorithm can be built based on these patterns to p...

Evaluation of aesthetic outcomes of mandibular reconstruction using artificial intelligence.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: Although vascularized bone graft (VBG) transfer is the current standard for mandibular reconstruction, reconstruction with a mandibular reconstruction plate (MRP) and with a soft-tissue flap (STF) alone remain crucial options for patients...

[Application of Photoplethysmography Combined with Deep Learning in Postoperative Monitoring of Flaps].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
OBJECTIVE: Photoelectric volumetric tracing (PPG) exhibits high sensitivity and specificity in flap monitoring. Deep learning (DL) is capable of automatically and robustly extracting features from raw data. In this study, we propose combining PPG wit...

"Identifying complication risk factors in reduction mammaplasty: a single-center analysis of 1021 patients applying machine learning methods".

Updates in surgery
Various surgical approaches and pedicles have been described to ensure safe and satisfactory results in reduction mammaplasty. Although different breasts require different techniques, complications are common. This study aims to assess the incidence ...
