MRI has helped clarify the relationship between pelvic anatomical structures and functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the bladder neck angle (BNA) measured by ...
To present our preliminary experiences of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical or partial cystectomy for bladder/prostate rhabdomyosarcoma (B/P RMS) in children. A retrospective study was conducted with children who underwent robot-assisted laparosc...
The proportion of robotic procedures continues to rise. The literature reinforces that robotic procedures take longer and are often more costly. We compared cost and perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) and robot-assisted...
Comparative outcome studies investigating internal Double-J (DJ) and externalized stents have primarily been performed for open and laparoscopic pyeloplasty, with a paucity of literature surrounding outcomes in robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplast...
Although single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP) is considered a safe and feasible approach for radical prostatectomy, the comparative performance of the SP robot with earlier models, including da Vinci Xi or Si, is elusive. This ...
We aimed to compare the oncologic outcomes of intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) and extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD) following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) in patients diagnosed with bladder cancer. Medical records of 730 p...
Tumor enucleation technique in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) reportedly contributes to renal function preservation. Which tumors and which part to utilize this technique have not been determined. This multi-institutional retrospective s...
Our objective was to establish the incidence of positive surgical margins, recurrence patterns, and recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in a large cohort of patients undergoing robotic (robot-assisted radical cystectomy [RARC]) and open ...
Suction during robotic surgery has traditionally been performed by a bedside assistant. Adequately skilled assistants are not always available. We assessed a purpose-designed robotic surgeon-controlled suction catheter for efficiency and safety by c...
The surgical techniques and devices used to perform radical cystectomy have evolved significantly with the advent of laparoscopic and robotic methods. The da Vinci Single-Port (SP) platform (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) is an innovation ...
