Surgical Innovation and AI

Featured Articles

Robotics vs Laparoscopy in Foregut Surgery: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Analyzing Hiatal Hernia Repair and Heller Myotomy

Robotic surgery is increasingly common in foregut procedures. When compared with conventional laparoscopy, robotic hiatal hernia repair outcomes are non-inferior, while robotic Heller myotomy is associated with significantly fewer esophageal perforations and reinterventions.

In Search of the Truth: Choice of Ground-Truth for Predictive Modeling of Trauma Team Activation in Pediatric Trauma

Machine learning models may be used to improve accuracy and reliability of trauma team activation level prediction. To prioritize patient safety and best detect undertriage, the union of the Cribari and Need for Trauma Intervention criteria appears to be the best ground-truth for predicting pediatric trauma team activation level.

Outpatient and Ambulatory Extended Recovery Robotic Hepatectomy: Multinational Study of 307 Cases

Well-selected outpatient robotic hepatectomy is safe, including superior or posterior liver resection that is challenging with non-articulating laparoscopic instruments. Our data suggest that short-stay robotic-assisted liver resection is safe, oncologically sound, and benefits patients.
