To determine the effect of positive surgical margins (PSMs) on oncologic outcomes following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and to identify factors that increase the likelihood of adverse oncologic outcomes. A multi-institutional database...
Methods for phenotype and outcome prediction are largely based on inductive supervised models that use selected biomarkers to make predictions, without explicitly considering the functional relationships between individuals. We introduce a novel netw...
OBJECTIVE: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening disease, and the only curative treatment relies on open or endovascular repair. The decision to treat relies on the evaluation of the risk of AAA growth and rupture, which can be diffic...

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) with intrathoracic anastomosis is gaining popularity as a treatment for esophageal cancer. The aim of this study was to describe postoperative complications and short-term oncologic ...
PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility of same-day discharge (SDD) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in the context of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and prehabilitation pathways.
BACKGROUND: Informal caregivers report substantial burden and depressive symptoms which predict higher rates of patient institutionalization. While caregiver education interventions may reduce caregiver distress and decrease the use of long-term inst...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: There are intra- and interobserver variations in endoscopic assessment of ulcerative colitis (UC) and biopsies are often collected for histologic evaluation. We sought to develop a deep neural network system for consistent, objecti...
BACKGROUND: Retrospective exploratory analyses of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) seeking to identify treatment effect heterogeneity (TEH) are prone to bias and false positives. Yet the desire to learn all we can from exhaustive data measurements...
The aim of this study was to introduce the "ultrathin parenchyma" resection in a robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) via the retroperitoneal approach, and to assess the feasibility, security, and effectiveness of this technique. We collected ...
