The automatic generation of radiology reports has the potential to assist radiologists in time-consuming task report writing. Existing methods generate full from image-level features, failing explicitly focus on anatomical regions image. We propose a simple yet effective region-guided model that detects and then describes individual, salient form final report. While previous without possibility human intervention with limited explainability, our method opens up novel clinical use cases...
Background and Objective: Robotic distal pancreatectomy (DP) is an emerging attractive approach, but its role compared with laparoscopic or open surgery remains unclear. Benchmark values are novel objective tools for such comparisons. The aim of this study was to identify benchmark cutoffs many outcome parameters DP without splenectomy beyond the learning curve. Methods: This analyzed outcomes from international expert centers patients undergoing robotic malignant benign lesions. After...
The aim of this study was to use the concept benchmarking establish robust and standardized outcome references after procedure ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition Portal Vein Ligation for Staged hepatectomy).The recently developed procedure, aiming at removing primarily unresectable liver tumors, has been criticized safety issues with high variations in reported morbidity/mortality rates depending on patient, disease, technical characteristics, center experience. No reference values relevant...
Objective: The aim of this study was to establish clinically relevant outcome benchmark values using criteria for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with portomesenteric venous resection (PVR) from a low-risk cohort managed in high-volume centers. Summary Background Data: PD PVR is regarded as the standard care patients cancer involvement axis. There are, however, no indicators population which hampers comparisons undergoing and without resection. Methods: This multicenter analyzed any type 23...
Objective: Preemptive endoluminal vacuum therapy (pEVT) is a novel concept to reduce postoperative morbidity and has the potential disrupt current treatment paradigms for patients undergoing esophagectomy. Summary of Background Data: Endoluminal an accepted AL after Methods: Retrospective analysis minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy with pEVT between 11/2017 10/2020. The sponge was removed endoscopically 4–6 days, anastomosis gastric conduit were assessed according endoscopic grading...
The goal of the current study was to investigate perioperative outcomes robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) and open (OPD) in a high-volume center.
Objective: The aim was to analyze the learning curves of minimal invasive liver surgery(MILS) and propose a standardized reporting. Summary Background Data: MILS offers benefits compared open resections. For safe introduction along curve, formal training is recommended. However, definitions methods assess it lack standardization. Methods: A systematic review PubMed, Web Science, CENTRAL databases identified studies on in MILS. primary outcome number needed overcome curve. Secondary outcomes...
Summary Endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVT) is an accepted treatment for anastomotic leakage (AL) after esophagectomy. A novel concept to use this technology in a preemptive setting, with the aim reduce AL rate and postoperative morbidity. Preemptive EVT (pEVT) was performed intraoperatively 19 consecutive patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy, immediately completion of esophagogastrostomy. Twelve (63%) were high-risk cases severe comorbidity. The device removed routinely three...
Abstract Background: Minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (MIPS) has developed over the last 3 decades and is nowadays experiencing an increased interest from surgical community. With increasing awareness of both public community on patient safety, optimization training gained importance. For implementation MIPS we propose phases. The first phase focuses developing basic skills procedure specific with help simulation, biotissue drills, video libraries, live case observations, courses....
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) critically influenced microscopically complete resection (R0) rates and long-term outcomes for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) portomesenteric vein (PVR) from a diverse, world-wide group high-volume centers. Summary Background Data: Limited size studies suggest that NAT improves R0 overall survival compared upfront surgery in R/BR-PDAC patients. Methods:...
Abstract Introduction Surgical process models (SPM) are simplified representations of operations and their visualization by surgical workflow management systems (SWMS), offer a solution to enhance communication workflow. Methods A 1:1 randomized controlled trial was conducted. SPM consisting six steps defined represent the procedure. The primary outcome, termed “deviation” measured difference between actual planned surgery duration. Secondary outcomes included stress levels operating team...
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and image guidance are increasingly being used to support surgeons in preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative decision making optimized patient care. Surgery is the cornerstone of curative treatment pancreatic diseases, a large amount perioperative data becoming available with widespread application minimally invasive surgical techniques. AI showing promise prediction malignancy resectability from preoperative images. A further...
