Emergency department (ED) visits and readmissions following benign foregut surgery (BFS) represent a burden on patients and the health care system. The objective of this study was to identify differences in ED visits and readmissions before and after implementation of an early postoperative telehealth visit protocol for BFS. We hypothesized that ut...

Patients suffering from advanced heart failure may undergo left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement as a bridge to cardiac transplantation. However, those with a BMI above 35 kg/m2 are generally not considered eligible for transplant due to their elevated cardiac risk. We review our experience with bariatric surgery in this high-risk populat...

With Surgomics, we aim for personalized prediction of the patient's surgical outcome using machine-learning (ML) on multimodal intraoperative data to extract surgomic features as surgical process characteristics. As high-quality annotations by medical experts are crucial, but still a bottleneck, we prospectively investigate active learning (AL) to ...

Iron deficiency anemia is a common paraesophageal hernia (PEH) symptom and may improve after repair. When present, anemia has also been proposed to be associated with an increase in length of hospital stay, morbidity, and mortality after PEH repair. This study aimed to determine anemia-related factors in patients with PEH, the rate of anemia resolu...

Virtual reality (VR) simulation for laparoscopic training is available with and without haptic feedback features. Currently, there is limited data on haptic feedback's effect on skill development. Our objective is to compare expert laparoscopists' skills characteristics using VR delivered laparoscopic tasks via haptic and nonhaptic laparoscopic sur...

The Critical View of Safety (CVS) was proposed in 1995 to prevent bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The achievement of CVS was evaluated subjectively. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system to evaluate CVS scores in LC. AI software was developed to evaluate the achievement of CVS using an algorit...

Delaying an elective operation to mitigate risk factors improves patient outcomes. Elective ventral hernia repair is one such example. To address this issue, we developed a pre-operative optimization clinic to support high-risk patients seeking elective ventral hernia repair. Unfortunately, few patients progressed to surgery. Within this context, w...

Automation of surgical phase recognition is a key effort toward the development of Computer Vision (CV) algorithms, for workflow optimization and video-based assessment. CV is a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that allows interpretation of images through a deep learning (DL)-based algorithm. The improvements in Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) co...

Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is responsible for 350,000 U.S. hospitalizations and costs ~ $2.3 billion annually. The current standard of care for SBO is to trial 3 to 5 days of non-operative management. This study evaluated the factors associated with operative management. This retrospective cohort study included adult patients admitted with adhes...

Ischemia is known to be a major contributor for anastomotic leaks and indocyanine green (ICYG) fluorescence angiography has been utilized to assess perfusion. Experienced esophageal surgeons have clinically assessed the gastric conduit with acceptable outcomes for years. We sought to examine the impact of ICYG in a surgeon's decision-making during ...
