Laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNU) has become popular in treating upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and an emerging trend was observed in robotic approaches. Therefore, we compared robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy (RANU) an...
The Hugo RAS™ is a newly launched robotic system for clinical use. This article provides the initial outcomes of patients undergoing radical prostatectomy with Hugo RAS. It also attempts to compare the outcomes with a similar set of patients undergo...
To report early institutional experience with the single-port robotic platform and compare perioperative outcomes between single-port robot-assisted partial nephrectomies (SP-RAPN) and multiport robot-assisted partial nephrectomies (MP-RAPN) when ut...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a novel robotic system (KD-SR-01) for partial nephrectomy. Seventeen patients with small renal masses (SRMs) (≤4 cm) underwent KD-SR-01 robotic partial nephrectomy (KD-RPN) from De...
We aimed to compare three robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) approaches-Retzius sparing (RS), extraperitoneal (EP), and transperitoneal (TP)-performed at our institution using the da Vinci single-port (SP) platform (Intuitive Surgical, Sunn...
To test the safety and feasibility of laser lithotripsy for midsize renal stones using a newly developed robotic retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) system (easyUretero) in a porcine model. Three urologic surgeons representing three different RIRS...
Opioid dependency has been a persistent issue in the United States over the past two decades. Increased efforts have been made to reduce opioid prescribing. Our objective was to quantify at-home opioid requirements following radical prostatectomy. ...
Automated performance metrics (APMs), derived from instrument kinematic and systems events data during robotic surgery, are validated objective measures of surgeon performance. Our previous studies showed that APMs are strong outcome predictors of u...
Recent decades have seen the rapid progression of minimally invasive surgery in urology with continuing developments in robotic technology paving ways into a new era. In addition to these technological innovations, interests from urologists in develo...
Surgical skill evaluation while performing minimally invasive surgeries is a highly complex task. It is important to objectively assess an individual's technical skills throughout surgical training to monitor progress and to intervene when skills ar...
