BACKGROUND: The safety and feasibility of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes of RAMIE with extended lymphadenectomy and conventional minimally invasive ...
INTRODUCTION: To clarify the safety and efficacy of en bloc simultaneous robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNU) for synchronous muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) ...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is nowadays being performed worldwide, and inguinal hernia (IH) continues to be a common complication of radical prostatectomy. Laparoscopic repair of IH is often difficult via internal dissec...
Few reports have demonstrated robotic surgery for large tumors in the upper esophagus. We report a case of a 52-year-old woman with a giant submucosal tumor in the upper esophagus successfully enucleated using robotic surgery. She presented with odyn...
OBJECTIVES: We retrospectively investigated if robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) contributes to a decrease in resected parenchymal volume (RPV), an increase in postoperative parenchymal volume (PPV), and an improvement of postope...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has been performed in various fields, especially in the pelvic cavity. However, little is known about the utility of robot-assisted laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery associated with robot-assisted ra...
This case involved a 63-year-old man. He underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. One year after the operation, he consulted our hospital about left inguinal swelling. Under a diagnosis of a left external inguinal he...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is emerging as an effective treatment oncologically and functionally for clinically localized renal tumors. However, RAPN in high-complexity tumors with a Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Use...
Robot-assisted surgery has advanced rapidly since the 1980s. However, new equipment is still needed to overcome problems in conventional endoscopic surgery, including unique risks, such as camera shake and communication difficulties between the opera...
