Objectives: The shape is commonly used to describe the objects. State-of-the-art algorithms in medical imaging are predominantly diverging from computer vision, where voxel grids, meshes, point clouds, and implicit surface models are used. This is seen from the growing popularity of ShapeNet (51,300 models) and Princeton ModelNet (127,915 models).

- Colonoscopy has a failure rate of 3-5%, highlighting the need for ongoing training and skill development for both trainees and experienced endoscopists to enhance their performance and reduce complications.!* -
- A new hybrid colonoscopy training simulator combines physical and virtual elements to visualize pressure applied during procedures, providing quantitative feedback to improve skills among 33 study participants, including both trainees and experts.!* -
- Results show that trainees apply significantly higher pressure than experts, especially in the recto-sigmoid area, demonstrating the simulator's effectiveness as a learning tool, with participants agreeing on its usability and potential impact on training programs.!*
Article Synopsis
- - Robotic surgery procedures are on the rise globally, and numerous innovative robotic platforms are being developed for imminent approval in the US within the next couple of years.
- - A review by the SAGES Robotic Platforms Working Group highlighted twenty robotic systems in various stages of development, detailing their components, features, regulatory status, and target markets.
- - The introduction of these new robotic platforms could enhance minimally invasive surgery, foster innovation, and potentially lower costs for patients, indicating strong future growth in robotic surgical technology.
Introduction: There is a paucity of literature comparing safety outcomes between formal fundoplication and gastric fixation procedures for hiatal hernia repairs, especially in the emergency setting. The objective of this study was to evaluate 30-day clinical outcomes between fundoplication and gastric fixation performed in emergency hiatal hernia repairs.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study using the National Surgery Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database from 2011 to 2021 was conducted.
