Aim
The SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to explore the impact of surgical delays on cancer resectability. This study aimed to compare resectability for colorectal cancer patients undergoing delayed versus non‐delayed surgery.
Methods
This was an international prospective cohort study of consecutive colorectal cancer patients with a decision for curative surgery (January–April...
Objectives
The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in surgical capacity for head and neck cancer in the UK between the first wave (March‐June 2020) and the current wave (Jan‐Feb 2021) of the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Design
REDcap online‐based survey of hospital capacity.
Setting
UK secondary and tertiary hospitals providing head and neck cancer surgery.
Participants
One representative...
We analyze the ACS NSQIP data for developing accurate risk prediction models for post-operative adverse outcomes in colorectal cancer surgery using data mining techniques. Preliminary experimentation reveals interesting and promising findings.
Simplified soft tissue models used in surgical simulations cannot perfectly reproduce all material behaviors. In particular, many tissues exhibit the Poynting effect, which results in normal forces during shearing of tissue and is only observed in nonlinear elastic material models. In order to investigate and quantify the role of the Poynting effect on material discrimination, we performed a multi-dimensional...
Surgical simulators present a safe, practical, and ethical method for surgical training. In order to enhance realism and provide the user with an immersive training experience, simulators should have the capability to provide haptic feedback to the user. High-fidelity surgical simulators also require accurate modeling of the interaction between surgical instruments and organs. Linear elasticity- based...
