Surgical Artificial Intelligence Research Academy

Check out this month's UHNITED campaign feature on how we plan to transform surgery with cutting-edge AI! Truly a multidisciplinary group effort🙏🙏🙏🙂#teamworkmakesthedreamwork uhnfoundation.ca/stories/uhnite…

Really excited to see this work published in @npjDigitalMed Surgical #AI is very exciting however we have a major scalability problem to see this technology disseminated. This platform enables any AI model to be summoned via cloud to any OR in any geographic location

Researchers from @TIER_UHN and @APLabConcordia are transforming surgical training through the use of #AI and an innovative mobile game—LapBot. 🎮🩺 Read more > uhnresearch.ca/news/novel-sur…; doi.org/10.1007/s00464…

Scaling AI for surgical guidance to operating rooms globally remains a major challenge, especially resource-limited settings. These authors describe a novel equipment-agnostic #MachineLearning pipeline to enable real-time deployment to any edge device. nature.com/articles/s4174…

👏👏👏Great work Raphael! Raphael Kwok is our student from the @UofT_TCAIREM Summer Research Program. His project uses computer vision AI to develop an intraoperative virtual ruler to measure distances between two structures during surgery. Stay tuned for next phase results!

This is not goodbye, just farewell for now! @yossykun0705 It was great to have you on our team and hope you had an enjoyable year! Excited to welcome our incoming fellow Dr. Hoseok Seo to the @SurgicalAI_Lab family. Welcome Hoseok!

Congratss to 🌟 @uzairkhalidmd - MS4 @uoftmedicine - on a superb 💯 talk today @SAGES_Updates covering our innovative LapBot game (peep the QR code!📱) in collabx w/ @AceStJohnMD @APLabConcordia @Laparoscopes @HPB_Surgeon @altierim1 🎮 Awesome work Uzair! #SAGES2024 #Cleveland

Great work ✨@Parmiss_Kiani✨ at presenting your telestration work 👾 with @drsaiftweets @SAGES_Updates! Sooo proud 🎉♥️ #SAGES2024 #Cleveland

Wondering how #artificial #intelligence can be used in #colorectal #cancer & surgical oncology? Peep @yossykun0705 giving a talk on this like a boss @SAGES_Updates 😎. Thank you also to @Schadi_CRS 🙏 for his collaboration with us on this topic! #SAGES2024 #Innovation #Cleveland

@SAGES_Updates delivers! +++Informative session today on the difficult gallbladder - chaired by 🇨🇦 Dr. @Seanpcleary, w/talks by 🇨🇦 Drs. @aminmadaniMD & @cutitoutPODCAS1. Fenestration vs reconstitution, ICG vs IOC, robotic vs lap? What about #AI? The debate rages on! #SAGES2024

Awesome 🤖 session chaired by Dr. @allanokrainec titled 'Up and Coming Robotics' @SAGES_Updates, with a fantastic talk by our very own Dr. @KarinehKazazian from Toronto 🇨🇦. Great work being done at @UHN_Surgery @TemertySimCtr - congratulations!! 🎉🎉 #SAGES2024 #Cleveland

Congratulations to our fellow 🇨🇦 @Ecosurgeon from @ubcgensurg on delivering a phenomenal Karl Storz lecture this morning @SAGES_Updates! An absolute powerhouse doing impactful work in advancing #sustainability, #reusability, and #climateJustice in #surgery. #SAGES2024 #Cleveland

3 (!!) 💪🎉 #Artificial #Intelligence posters by @yossykun0705 & collaborators @SAGES_Updates! We use #AI to (1) ⬆️ privacy during surgical videos, (2) assess retraction during lap chole, & (3) verify the critical view for inf mesenteric pedicle ligation!🧐 #SAGES2024 #Cleveland

Extremely proud of our ✨@HillaryLia_ ✨ - a @uoftmedicine MD/PhD student - for presenting a poster on the ethics of surgical videos @SAGES_Updates. Fantastic work Hillary! 🎉😁 #SAGES2024 #Cleveland

#Presidential address by Dr. @patsyllamd @SAGES_Updates - an inspiring journey with remarkable mentors across the 🌎. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey with us 🌹, & thank you for your committment to #AI, #EDI, & #GlobalSurgery #SAGES2024 #SustainableSAGES #Cleveland

🥵 Heated #Artificial #Intelligence 🤖 panel discussion this AM 🌅 @SAGES_Updates! #AI has ++applications in 🔪: intra-op mapping 🧭, prediction of post-sx outcomes, enhancing doc-patient interactions, & improving safety ✅. Co-chaired by the impressive @Laparoscopes #SAGES2024

Another great early morning #Biliary disease and #HPB session @SAGES_Updates! Great work by many of our colleagues in the US 🌎 #SAGES2024 #Cleveland

@aminmadaniMD @altierim1 @HillaryLia_ @Parmiss_Kiani @ziyadkhatab @yossykun0705 @cathymas1 @WatanabeSurgeon @uzairkhalidmd @allanokrainec

Cheers to another productive year of #research and #collaboration 🧬🥼, #AI and #MachineLearning 🖥️🤖, and #SurgicalEducation and #innovation 🍻🔪!! Cheers to a great group of phenomenal leaders 🥳🥳! @SAGES_Updates @aminmadaniMD #SAGES2024 #Cleveland

Hugely informative afternoon talk today by our very own 🌟 Dr. @shwaartz on the detection and management of gas emboli during MIS #Liver #Surgery @SAGES_Updates! Presented like the expert she is👏👏 #SAGES2024 #Cleveland #HPB
