AIM: The hinotori surgical robot system, a newly launched platform, has already been utilized in several urological robotic surgeries; however, limited information is available in terms of its feasibility and safety in each type of surgery. The objec...
Proximal gastrectomy (PG) in combination with jejunal pouch interposition is a technique aimed at improving the postoperative dietary outcomes; however, some cases are reported to require surgical intervention owing to difficulty of food intake cause...
Surgery for rectal cancer patients with an ileal conduit after total cystectomy is difficult because adhesions in the pelvis and around the ileal conduit are expected. In the present case, we performed robot-assisted low anterior resection of the rec...
Robotic surgery has technical advantages including high optical magnification and articulation of forceps. However, the surgical field tends to be narrow due to the high magnification, and the forceps have no tactile sensation. A case of severe intra...
PURPOSE: The advantages of robot-assisted rectal surgery (RARS) over conventional laparoscope-assisted rectal surgery (LARS) remain controversial. This study was performed to compare the short-term outcomes of RARS and LARS.
INTRODUCTION: This study was performed to investigate the preoperative factors associated with difficulty achieving trifecta in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for clinical T1b renal cell carcinoma.
An otherwise well 28-month-old girl presented with fever/left thigh pain. Computed tomography identified a 7 cm right posterior mediastinal tumor extending to the paravertebral and intercostal spaces with multiple bone and bone marrow metastases on b...
INTRODUCTION: Ischemic gastropathy is one of the unique postoperative complications associated with distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate blood flow to the stom...
Salvage surgery for esophageal cancer after definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is effective, but it is associated with a high rate of perioperative complications. The indications for robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) are expand...
