From Predicting Difficulty to Choosing the Safest Operative Strategy: A Systematic Review of Decision Support in Difficult Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

BackgroundDifficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) remains a major contributor to bile duct injury, bailout procedures, and conversion to open surgery. Although numerous preoperative prediction models have been developed, their ability to meaningfully support operative decision-making and safe bailout strategies rem...

Artificial Intelligence for Predicting Length of Stay for General Surgery Patients: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Background Length of stay (LoS) prediction is vital for optimizing surgical patient flow and resource allocation. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models may enhance LoS prediction, yet their validity and clinical utility in General Surgery remain unclear. Methods Embase, Medline, Scopus,...

Artificial intelligence assessment of Parkland's grading scale in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a step toward real-world outcome prediction.

Routine real-world use of a surgical artificial-intelligence (AI) platform has led us to adopt Parkland's Grading Scale (PGS) for disease-severity in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). We evaluated model performance in estimating PGS and explored correlations with surgical outcomes. The platform routinely video-capture...

The learning curve of robotic esophagectomy: a systematic review with a proposed training and competency assessment framework

Background Robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is a significant evolution in esophageal cancer surgery, providing improved visualization, dexterity and operative precision. However, RAMIE is technically demanding and has a steep learning curve. The goal of this systematic review was to assess the...
