Cirq Robotic Assistance for Thoracolumbar Pedicle Screw Placement: Overcoming the Disadvantages of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery.

INTRODUCTION: Various minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) techniques have been developed with the goal of reducing approach-related soft-tissue trauma and its associated complications. However, there is still a debate on some of the potential drawbacks of MISS techniques, such as their longer operating times and increased intraoperative radiation. A solution to these disadvantages could be the...

[COMPARING LAPAROSCOPIC AND ROBOT-ASSISTED PYELOPLASTY FOR URETERO-PELVIC JUNCTION OBSTRUCTION: INITIAL EXPERIENCE FROM A SINGLE CENTER].

(Objective) To compare the initial results of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) and laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) for uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). (Methods) Between April 2008 to October 2021, we identified 104 cases of UPJO where LP was performed and 18 cases where RALP was performed at our hospital. We retrospectively analyzed their perioperative outcomes. Furthermore...
