Robot assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy: Should this be the new standard?

INTRODUCTION: Minimal invasive surgeries (MIS) for large size adrenal tumors are still debatable. The objective is to evaluate the contemporary peri- and post-operative outcomes of patients undergoing (open = OA, laparoscopic = LA, and robotic = RA) adrenalectomies in three institutions.

3D laparoscopic prostatectomy: results of multicentre study.

INTRODUCTION: Three-dimensional laparoscopic prostatectomy (3D LRP) is a potentially cost-effective option for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Results for two-dimensional LRP and RALP are well documented; however, little has been published on the outcomes of 3D LRP. Our objective was to report the perioperative and short-term results of 3D LRP in a multicentre study.

Study on the correlation between early three-dimensional gait analysis and clinical efficacy after robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty.

PURPOSE: Robot-assisted technology is a forefront of surgical innovation that improves the accuracy of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). But whether the ...

The learning curve for open and minimally-invasive kidney transplantation: a systematic review.

INTRODUCTION: There is lack of evidence on the impact of surgeons' learning curve on postoperative outcomes after open (OKT) or minimally-invasive (ro...

Analysis of robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy using the da Vinci SP system.
