Systematic Review: The Learning Curve for Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy-What Do We Know?

The aim of this systematic review is to assess the robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) learning curve (LC), which is important to consider in both risk-benefit assessment and training. We performed a systematic literature search using two databases (Medline and Scopus) with the search query "learning AND cystectomy" and included all articles containing data on the assessment of the RARC LC....

Robotic Handle Prototypes for Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery: Pre-clinical Randomised Controlled Trial of Performance and Ergonomics.

Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery is a promising alternative to transcranial approaches. However, standard instruments lack articulation, and thus, could benefit from robotic technologies. The aim of this study was to develop an ergonomic handle for a handheld robotic instrument intended to enhance this procedure. Two different prototypes were developed based on ergonomic guidelines within t...

Ultrasound Image under Artificial Intelligence Algorithm to Evaluate the Intervention Effect of Accelerated Rehabilitation Surgery Nursing on Laparoscopic Hysterectomy.

To explore the application value of accelerated rehabilitation surgery (ERAS) nursing in laparoscopic total hysterectomy, 120 patients who underwent l...

Comparison of Trocar Site versus Trocar Site Plus Intraperitoneal Instillation of Local Anesthetic for Shoulder Pain Following Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic surgery in recent times has noteworthy advantages over conventional surgery, yet recovery is prolonged due to debilitating sh...

Robotic versus hand-assisted laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy: comparison of two minimally invasive techniques in kidney transplantation.

Robot-assisted donor nephrectomy (RDN) is increasingly used due to its advantages such as its precision and reduced learning curve when compared to la...

Implementing the Robotic deep inferior epigastric perforator Flap in daily practice: A series of 10 cases.
