To compare the perioperative, functional, and oncologic outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) for completely endophytic renal tumors (three points for the "E" element of the R.E.N.A.L. scoring system). We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent either RAPN or LPN between 2013 and 2016. Baseline characteristics, perioperative, fun...
Nonabsorbable monofilament suture is traditionally used to secure vaginal mesh for robot-assisted sacral colpopexy (RASC) but can become exposed postoperatively requiring invasive vaginal removal. Polydioxanone delayed absorbable suture may avoid this. We sought to determine the objective and subjective impact of suture choice for mesh fixation. A cohort study was undertaken using a prospective ...
Several case series have demonstrated the safety and feasibility of outpatient robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in well-selected patients;...
Minimally invasive surgery offers reduced pain and opioid use postoperatively compared with open surgery, but large-scale comparative studies are lac...
Although laparoscopic urachal excision in children has been well reported, there are limited data on a robot-assisted surgery (RAS) approach. The hid...
The robot-assisted approach to radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been adopted worldwide as an acceptable alternative to open prostatectomy owing to im...
The progress of robotic medicine leads to the emergence of an increasing number of highly specialized automated systems based on specialized software....
To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis and to assess the clinical benefit of prophylactic pelvic drain (PD) placement after robot-assisted ...
OBJECTIVE: The role of robotic surgery in general surgery (GS) continues to expand. Several programs have integrated robotic-based simulators and mode...
In managing a patient with glioblastoma (GBM), a surgeon must carefully consider whether sufficient tumour can be removed so that the patient can enjo...
BACKGROUND: The da Vinci single-port (SP) robot is a new instrument for transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in oropharyngeal cancers (OPSCCs). We describ...
In this study, a new idea of the optimal path generation method was proposed and a path planning strategy for robotic cochlear implant of perimodiolar...
Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) can be used to decode brain activity into commands to control external devices. This paper presents the decoding of in...
BACKGROUND: Reduced surgical site infection (SSI) rates have been reported with use of closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) in high-risk ...
BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery is seen by many hospital administrators and surgeons as slower and more expensive than laparoscopic surgery despite the im...
The rising prevalence and global burden of diabetes fortify the need for more comprehensive and effective management to prevent, monitor, and treat di...
In this paper, we have proposed a two-phase procedure (combining discrete graphs and wavelets) for constructing true epidemic growth. In the first pha...
Intracranial aneurysms with subarachnoid hemorrhage lead to high morbidity and mortality. It is of critical importance to detect aneurysms, identify r...
Pseudoaneurysm occurs when the artery wall is damaged and the blood is contained by the surrounding tissues with the eventual formation of a fibrous s...
