Self-supervised Dense 3D Reconstruction from Monocular Endoscopic Video [PDF]
We present a self-supervised learning-based pipeline for dense 3D reconstruction from full-length monocular endoscopic videos without a priori modeling of anatomy or shading. Our method only relies on unlabeled monocular endoscopic videos and conventional multi-view stereo algorithms, and requires neither manual interaction nor patient CT in both ...

Abstract We reviewed the current status and perspectives on salvage esophagectomy for initially unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in the era of minimally invasive surgery and immunotherapy. Although the standard treatment for these patients is definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT), the complete response rate to CRT ...

Endoscopic character identities for metaplectic groups [PDF]
In this paper, we prove the conjectural endoscopic character identities for tempered representations of metaplectic group $Mp_{2n}$ based on the formalism of endoscopy theory by J. Adams, D. Renard and W.W. Li.

Training in endoscopic ultrasonography: An Asian perspective
Training of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in Asia faces two major challenges: (i) the ever‐increasing demand for skills to handle a growing range of interventional EUS procedures; and (ii) a continual shortage of EUS training programs.

Mesenteric thrombosis: An unusual complication of severe acute pancreatitis—Report of two cases
Abstract The incidence of acute pancreatitis is 34 per 100 000 people in the general population and is on the rise. Approximately 15% to 20% of all patients experience severe pancreatitis, with a mortality rate nearing 20%. This condition is often linked to vascular complications, although mesenteric thrombosis is a rare presentation.

Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) frequently also have co‐existing symptoms of functional dyspepsia (FD). The authors aimed to investigate the effects of each symptom of typical GERD, co‐existing FD epigastric pain syndrome (EPS), and postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) on patients’ level of satisfaction in daily life, the presence ...

Automatic Tip Detection of Surgical Instruments in Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery [PDF]
Some endoscopic surgeries require a surgeon to hold the endoscope with one hand and the surgical instruments with the other hand to perform the actual surgery with correct vision. Recent technical advances in deep learning as well as in robotics can introduce robotics to these endoscopic surgeries.
