BACKGROUND: The introduction of robotic surgical systems has significantly impacted urological surgery, arguably more so than other surgical disciplines. The focus of our study was length of hospital stay - patients have traditionally been discharged...
Transthoracic subtotal esophagectomy with two-field lymph node (mediastinal and abdominal) and monobloc posterior mediastinectomy is called Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. This intervention requires an abdominal and thoracic time that is carried out here e...
BACKGROUND: Most studies comparing robotic and laparoscopic surgery, show little difference in clinical outcomes to justify the expense. We systematically reviewed and pooled evidence from studies comparing robotic and laparoscopic rectal resection.
BACKGROUND: There have been few reports on the feasibility and safety of robotic multivisceral surgeries. The da Vinci Xi boasts significant upgrades that improve its applicability in combined resections. We report our early experience of multiviscer...
BACKGROUND: Colon cancer resection can be technically difficult in the obese (OB) population. Robotic surgery is a promising technique but its benefits remain uncertain in OB patients. The aim of this study is to compare OB versus non-obese (NOB) pat...
Our article describes the anatomy, technical steps, common pitfalls, and our recommendations for performing a successful robotic lateral pelvic side wall dissection for rectal cancer. This is supplemented with videos and an image to clearly demonstra...
