Less postoperative pain and shorter length of stay after robot-assisted retrorectus hernia repair (rRetrorectus) compared with laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair (IPOM) for small or medium-sized ventral hernias.

BACKGROUND: The optimal repair of ventral hernia remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the results after robotic-assisted laparoscopic transabdominal repair with retrorectus mesh placement (rRetrorectus) compared with laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair (IPOM) for patients with small- or medium-sized ventral hernia.

[Robotic Left Hepatectomy Using the Glissonean Pedicle Approach for the Treatment of Caroli's Syndrome].

BACKGROUND: Caroli's syndrome is a rare disease characterised by non-obstructive dilation of intrahepatic bile ducts, hepatic fibrosis, and an increased risk of developing cholangiocarcinoma. Minimally invasive liver resection has recently been increasingly adopted for the treatment of patients with localised Caroli's syndrome. However, robot-assisted liver resection for the treatment of Caroli's ...

Number of lymph nodes dissected and upstaging rate of the N factor in robot-assisted thoracic surgery versus video-assisted thoracic surgery for patients with cN0 primary lung cancer.

PURPOSE: The accuracy of lymph node (LN) dissection in robotic surgery for lung cancer remains controversial. We compared the accuracy of LN dissectio...

Effects of nerve-sparing procedures on surgical margins after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

BACKGROUND: Nerve-sparing (NS) techniques could potentially increase positive surgical margins after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Neve...
