BACKGROUND: Surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance is a labor-intensive endeavor. We present the design and validation of an algorithm for SSI detection after hip replacement surgery, and a report of its successful implementation in 4 public hosp...
Deep and organ space surgical site infections (SSI) require more intensive treatment, may result in more severe clinical disease and may have different risk factors when compared to superficial SSIs. Machine learning (ML) algorithms provide the oppo...
PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE: Patients with penicillin allergy labels are more likely to have postoperative wound infections. When penicillin allergy labels are interrogated, a significant number of individuals do not have penicillin allergies and may be d...
Optimal approach for lower anterior resection has been closely debated. The relatively new addition of the robotic approach adds a layer of complexity to this topic. The majority of the literature has compared the possible approaches between two tec...
BACKGROUND: The Robotic NICE procedure is a total intracorporeal natural orifice approach in which specimen extraction and anastomosis is accomplished without an abdominal wall incision other than the port sites themselves. We aim to present the succ...

OBJECTIVES: The primary objectives were to evaluate Surgical Site Occurrences (SSO) and Surgical Site Occurrences requiring procedural Intervention (SSOPI) after open transversus abdominis release and to study various factors affecting it. Secondary ...
BACKGROUND: Colon cancer resection can be technically difficult in the obese (OB) population. Robotic surgery is a promising technique but its benefits remain uncertain in OB patients. The aim of this study is to compare OB versus non-obese (NOB) pat...
