- The study focused on the importance of patient selection for surgery in obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) and rectal prolapse (RP) using a machine learning approach.
- A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 400 female patients with ODS who underwent various diagnostic assessments between 2010 and 2021.
- The findings revealed that certain symptoms and physical examination features significantly influenced the likelihood of surgery, while machine learning showed high accuracy in predicting surgical indications, emphasizing the potential for improved decision-making in clinical settings.
Background: Robot-assisted ventral mesh rectopexy is considered a valid option in the treatment of rectal prolapse. However, it involves higher costs than the laparoscopic approach. The aim of this study is to determine if less expensive robotic surgery for rectal prolapse can be safely performed.
