INTRODUCTION: We report on a case of congenital unilateral atresia of the vas deferens encountered during a robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair.
Obstruction of the vas deferens may occur after inguinal hernia repair with mesh and lead to infertility. In cases where natural conception is desired and after obtaining test results that suggest the presence of spermatogenesis, surgical reconstruct...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a convolutional neural network to recognize the seminal vesicle and vas deferens (SV-VD) in the posterior approach of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and assess the performance of the convolutional neural network mod...

PURPOSE: In laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery, proper recognition of loose connective tissue, nerves, vas deferens, and microvessels is important to prevent postoperative complications, such as recurrence, pain, sexual dysfunction, and bleeding. E...
