A comparison of perioperative outcomes for da Vinci robotic-assisted, laparoscopic and open surgery in oncologic procedures: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of evidence from China

The use of robot-assisted surgery (RAS) has increased markedly in China, but comparative evidence on its perioperative performance in cancer care is dispersed across specialties and study designs. This review synthesized Chinese evidence to examine the safety and effectiveness of...

Measurement of trainee autonomy in robotic-assisted lung resections using objective performance indicators

Abstract Trainee autonomy in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is critical for growth but difficult to quantify. Robotic platforms can log intraoperative kinematic and event data that can be transformed into metrics known as objective performance indicators (OPIs). This study sou...

The economics of accuracy for medical reasoning with large language models

Deploying large language models (LLMs) in clinical settings is limited by security, reliability, latency, and accessibility concerns that favor smaller, on-device or on-premise models. However, these smaller models may struggle to meet accuracy requirements. While fine-tuning and...
