Novel use of robot-assisted gait rehabilitation in a patient with stroke and blindness.

BMJ case reports
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is an effective adjunctive treatment for patients with stroke that helps to regain functional mobility and is applied in many rehabilitation units for poststroke neurorecovery. We discuss our successful attempt to ...

Simultaneous excision of pelvic lipoma and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

BMJ case reports
Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumour that can develop in any part of the body containing adipose tissue. Very few cases of pelvic lipomas have been reported in the literature. Due to their location and slow growth, pelvic lipomas are often asymptoma...

Combined robotic and subinguinal microsurgical vasovasostomy for vasal obstruction after inguinal hernia repair.

BMJ case reports
Obstruction of the vas deferens may occur after inguinal hernia repair with mesh and lead to infertility. In cases where natural conception is desired and after obtaining test results that suggest the presence of spermatogenesis, surgical reconstruct...

Intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence navigation in a robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for a large renal cell carcinoma in a horseshoe kidney.

BMJ case reports
A man in his 60s was referred to the urology department with an incidental finding of large 75 mm mass within a horseshoe kidney. CT imaging highlighted the well-known aberrant arterial anatomy seen in horseshoe kidney which often causes significant ...

Transoral robotic resection of a lingual thyroid: a novel treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea.

BMJ case reports
A 34-year-old woman with a history of congenital hypothyroidism and 15 years of obstructive sleep apnoea was admitted with a left submandibular swelling secondary to a dental infection. A CT scan of the neck identified an incidental 27 mm tongue base...

Robot-assisted partial cystectomy for bladder endometriosis: dual approach involving cystoscopy and robotic surgery.

BMJ case reports
Bladder endometriosis accounts for 70%-85% cases of urinary tract endometriosis. A high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose this condition as most women have associated pelvic and menstrual complaints. The presence of cyclical haematuria along w...

Robotic enucleation of a biliary adenofibroma.

BMJ case reports
A 69-year-old man was referred to the hepatobiliary surgeons for mild enlargement of an asymptomatic cystic liver lesion found on routine screening in 2017 that measured 3.7×3.6×4.3 cm. Work-up with MRI revealed a complex multilocular cyst that had e...

Robotic resection for hydatid disease of the liver.

BMJ case reports
Robotic-assisted surgery for the management of hepatic echinococcosis was introduced in 2016. The advantage it offers over laparoscopy is less rigidity with the use of the 360° rotation of the Endo-Wrist technology, thus allowing the preservation of ...

Robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer in a patient with Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome.

BMJ case reports
Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, a rare Mullerian duct anomaly, includes a triad of uterine didelphys, obstructed haemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 58-year-old woman with Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, reported of recurrent genital ...
