Robot-assisted vs ultrasonography-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block vs local anaesthesia in urology: results of the UROTAP randomized trial.

BJU international
OBJECTIVES: To prospectively analyse robotically administered transperitoneal transversus abdominis plane (robot-assisted transversus abdominis plane [RTAP]) compared with both ultrasonography-guided transversus abdominis plane (UTAP) and local anaes...

Does proximal versus distal injury location of the medial ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow differentially impact elbow stability? An ultrasound-guided and robot-assisted biomechanical study.

Journal of shoulder and elbow surgery
BACKGROUND: The location (proximal vs. distal) of elbow medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) tears impacts clinical outcomes of nonoperative treatment. The purposes of our study were to (1) determine whether selective releases of the MUCL could be...

The challenges facing deep learning-based catheter localization for ultrasound guided high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Automated catheter localization for ultrasound guided high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy faces challenges relating to imaging noise and artifacts. To date, catheter reconstruction during the clinical procedure is performed manually. De...

Exploring the utility of assistive artificial intelligence for ultrasound scanning in regional anesthesia.

Regional anesthesia and pain medicine
INTRODUCTION: Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) involves the acquisition and interpretation of ultrasound images to delineate sonoanatomy. This study explores the utility of a novel artificial intelligence (AI) device designed to assist in...

Robotic Extended Ultrasound-Guided Distal Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Metastases from Uveal Melanoma.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Isolated pancreatic metastasis from melanoma is extremely uncommon and accounts for approximately only 2% of visceral disseminations of melanoma. Interestingly, pancreatic localizations disproportionately derive from primary ocular melano...

Ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block for perioperative analgesia in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy: a randomized controlled trial.

Trials
BACKGROUND: Recently, several case reports and limited randomized studies have shown that quadratus lumborum blocks (QLB) are effective in providing pain relief after intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal operations. Additionally, robot-assisted partia...

A novel complementation method of an acoustic shadow region utilizing a convolutional neural network for ultrasound-guided therapy.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Noise-free ultrasound images are essential for organ monitoring during regional ultrasound-guided therapy. When the affected area is located under the ribs, however, acoustic shadow is caused by the reflection of sound from hard tissues such...

Rectus sheath block for acute pain management after robot-assisted prostatectomy.

Asian journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is a favored surgical approach for treating prostate cancer. However, RALP does not decrease postoperative pain significantly despite its minimal invasiveness. The pain associated with robo...
