The robotic surgical system is a comprehensive system integrating multiple modern high technologies. Its application has ushered in a new era of intelligent, precise and minimally invasive surgery. In China, after 10 years of continuous practice and ...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate an interpretable machine learning (ML) model for the preoperative prediction of central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).
BACKGROUND: Near-infrared indocyanine green angiography allows experienced surgeons to reliably evaluate parathyroid gland vitality during thyroid and parathyroid operations in order to predict postoperative function. To facilitate equal performance ...
BACKGROUND: For medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) with no positive findings in the lateral neck before surgery, whether prophylactic lateral neck dissection (LND) is needed remains controversial. A better way to predict occult metastasis in the later...
BACKGROUND: Thyroid surgery involves the partial or complete removal of the thyroid gland and is a frequently performed surgical procedure. The adoption of robots, equipped with flexible and stable operating systems, has garnered acceptance among num...
INTRODUCTION: Near-infrared autofluorescence imaging (NIFI) can be used to identify parathyroid gland (PG) during surgery. The purpose of the study is to establish a new model, help surgeons better identify, and protect PGs.
