A new study used established AI-based clustering techniques to evaluate whether different radiographic clusters of adult spinal deformity are associated with distinct surgical outcomes. Result? Although the rates of complications varied among the clusters, the types of complications were not significantly different.

🚨 Fascinating Read on Ectopic Gallbladder! 🚨 I recently came across an intriguing article discussing the rare anomaly of an ectopic gallbladder, a condition that every surgeon should be familiar with. This rare condition, seen in only 0.1% to 0.7% of cases, certainly poses a diagnostic challenge. Diagnosing this anomaly can be quite challenging, but advanced imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) are making it more feasible. The article presents a compelling case of a 64-year-old patient who was suffering from abdominal pain, an inflammatory epigastric mass, and fever. CT imaging revealed a para-umbilical gallbladder with acute cholecystitis signs—a surprising and rare finding! This case underscores the importance of using advanced diagnostic tools for accurate identification and treatment. It's a must-read for anyone in the medical field, offering valuable insights into how we can better diagnose and manage such uncommon conditions. 🏥🔍 #EctopicGallbladder #MedicalAnomaly #CT #MRCP #Surgeons #HealthcareInnovation https://lnkd.in/e__hRTau

🧠 Rapid Medical Completes Successful Ischemic Stroke Procedures with the World’s First Robotic Thrombectomy Device Two patients were treated with the Robotic TIGERTRIEVER™, the first endovascular thrombectomy device that adapts autonomously to the patient’s anatomy. “Automating stroke procedures is a significant advancement for the medical field,” emphasizes Dr. Boris Pabón, the endovascular neurosurgeon at ANGIOSUR who performed the first-in-man procedures. “Robotic clot removal achieves a level of precision that surpasses interventional capabilities. The robotic TIGERTRIEVER gives me direct insight into the vessel characteristics and senses what I cannot–truly remarkable.” With the press of a button, the AI-activated TIGERTRIEVER captures the blockage with active integration. The device’s radial force is then automatically reduced to minimize trauma to the brain as it is retrieved. This builds upon the excellent clinical results and procedure times seen with TIGERTRIEVER’s adjustability, further enhancing precision and streamlining workflow.
