Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia BPH

AI for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia BPH

How can Artificial Intelligence benefit urology patients, in particular those affected by prostate BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)? AI-based solutions for urology applications are under development and promise important breakthroughs in both operation planning and treatment. The first type of the BPH treatment is typically non-invasive and based on medications. Some patients subsequently move to intrusive solutions, These are mostly minimally invasive and mainly endoscopic. AI can provide a great contribution to the planning of the surgery: advanced AI algorithms might foresee some complications in advance and provide valuable information to

Single-port

How Can AI Assist in Single-port Robotic Surgery?

The use by the surgical community of single-port as a surgical approach is increasing in frequency. A port is the entrance gate of the tools into the patient’s body during a surgery. Currently, most laparoscopies require multiple ports for the camera and tools, whereas single-port approach utilizes one port for all the tools and the camera. The main benefits of this approach are that it offers similar results to multi-port approach while allowing for faster healing, less pain for the patient, and better cosmetic outcomes. Technically, single-port is challenging as

Tissue Sparing in urology

AI-Assisted Tissue Sparing in Urology

Tissue sparing is a common practice during surgeries. This approach aims to remove as little as possible of the surrounding tissue during a procedure. Studies have shown that tissue sparing procedures have fewer complications and faster recovery time. In urology, tissue sparing is relevant in many surgical procedures, such as prostatectomy or cystectomy. Often a tumor needs to be removed, and it is preferable to preserve as much tissue without leaving cancer-cells behind. In prostatectomy by sparing tissue the neurovascular bundle (NVB) damage can be avoided, reducing the complication rate.

Anonymizing surgical videos

Trimming and Anonymizing Surgical Videos

As the use of robotic assisted surgeries (RAS) increases, so does the amount of recording cameras in the operating room (OR). The data from these videos is essential for post-op follow-up, training of surgeons, training of AI, and even legal purposes. However, each procedure creates an enormous amount of data, which requires storage facilities. Additionally, when sharing this data (uploading to cloud, sending to colleagues), all features disclosing identity of the patient or the healthcare provider must be removed.   Removing irrelevant parts of the video The cameras involved in
