Abstract

AIM: The hinotori surgical robot system, a newly launched platform, has already been utilized in several urological robotic surgeries; however, limited information is available in terms of its feasibility and safety in each type of surgery. The objectives of this study were to describe the perioperative outcomes of the first series of six patients who underwent robot-assisted adrenalectomy (RAA) using hinotori, and compare the outcomes with a similar set of five patients undergoing RAA with the existing system, da Vinci.
