Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Management of Bladder/Prostate Rhabdomyosarcoma in Children: Initial Series and 1-Year Outcomes.

To present our preliminary experiences of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical or partial cystectomy for bladder/prostate rhabdomyosarcoma (B/P RMS) in children. A retrospective study was conducted with children who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for B/P RMS between July 2018 and March 2020 under the approval of IRB of our center. The patient characteristics, tumor position, periop...

Robot-assisted Valvuloplastic Esophagogastrostomy by Double-flap Technique Using a Knifeless Linear Stapler After Proximal Gastrectomy.

After proximal gastrectomy, valvuloplastic esophagogastrostomy by double-flap technique could be the ideal reconstruction to prevent gastroesophageal reflux. However, it is demanding procedure in laparoscopic surgery. In this video, we demonstrate a robot-assisted double-flap technique using a knifeless stapler.
