A feasibility study of robot-assisted percutaneous reduction and fixation technique for treating posterolateral depression tibial plateau fractures.

Posterolateral (PL)-depression fractures of the tibial plateau are difficult to manage. The aim of this study was: (1) to present our experience with a novel technique of robot-assisted percutaneous reduction and fixation and (2) to compare it with the traditional percutaneous screw osteosynthesis (PSO) technique for the treatment of PL-depression tibial plateau fractures. The clinical data of pat...

Perioperative, function, and positive surgical margin in extraperitoneal versus transperitoneal single port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Extraperitoneal and transperitoneal approaches are two common modalities in single-port (SP) robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), but differences in safety and efficacy between the two remain controversial. This study aimed to compare the perioperative, function, and positive surgical margin of extraperitoneal with transperitoneal approaches SP-RARP.
