Abstract Background The potential role and benefits of AI in surgery has yet to be determined. This study is a first step developing an system for minimizing adverse events improving patient’s safety. We developed Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm evaluated its performance recognizing surgical phases laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) videos spanning range complexities. Methods A set 371 LC with various complexity levels containing was collected from five hospitals. Two expert surgeons...
The aim of this study was to conduct a prospective assessment the results total abdominal colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis (TAC) in patients with colonic inertia. Overall, 416 were evaluated for chronic constipation. Of 54 (13 per cent) had inertia, defined as diffuse marker delay during transit without paradoxical puborectalis contraction on cinedefaecography or electromyography. All (42 women 12 men), mean age 49 (range 17-78) years, underwent TAC. Preoperative bowel frequency one...
The optimal surgical procedure for the management of rectal prolapse is still under debate. Therefore, aim this study was to compare short-term outcome three perineal procedures in patients with prolapse.Between April 1989 and 1995, all consecutive who had Delorme's procedure, rectosigmoidectomy, or rectosigmoidectomy levatoroplasty full-thickness were clinically physiologically assessed before after surgery. A standard incontinence scoring system, based on frequency type (0 = full...
Abstract Background and Objectives Low level laser irradiation (LLLI) has been shown to reduce inflammation in a variety of clinical situations. We have that LLLI (780 nm) increases aortic smooth muscle cell proliferation matrix protein secretion modulates activity expression metalloproteinases. Inflammation is major component arteriosclerotic diseases including aneurysm. Macrophage recruitment pro‐inflammatory cytokines the vasodilator, nitric oxide (NO), are central most immune responses...
