Robotic and laparoscopic surgical procedures for colorectal cancer.

Journal of robotic surgery
The study aims to investigate perioperative indices and immediate outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic surgical interventions in colorectal cancer patients. The study included 163 patients [90 (55.2%) females and 73 (44.8%) males, aged 67.46 ± 6.72 y...

The current status of robotic colorectal surgery training programmes.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS) is steadily increasing in popularity with an annual growth in the number of colorectal procedures undertaken robotically. Further upscaling of RACS requires structured and standardised robotic training to sa...

Robotic CME in obese patients: advantage of robotic ultrasound scan for vascular dissection.

Journal of robotic surgery
Complete mesocolic excision (CME) in right-sided colon cancers appears to confer oncological benefits compared to conventional colectomy. Identification of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) remains challenging. We describe the novel use of intra-ope...

Click-on fluorescence detectors: using robotic surgical instruments to characterize molecular tissue aspects.

Journal of robotic surgery
Fluorescence imaging is increasingly being implemented in surgery. One of the drawbacks of its application is the need to switch back-and-forth between fluorescence- and white-light-imaging settings and not being able to dissect safely under fluoresc...

Effect of prostate and bony pelvic dimensions measured by preoperative magnetic resonance imaging on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
Bone pelvic dimensions and body habitus may have effects on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). In this study, we examined the effects of body mass index, bone pelvis measurements and prostate measurements on console time (CT), decrease in p...

The Atlantic divide: contrasting surgical robotics training in the USA, UK and Ireland.

Journal of robotic surgery
The uptake of robotic surgery is rapidly increasing worldwide across surgical specialties. However, there is currently a much higher use of robotic surgery in the United States of America (USA) compared to the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland. Reduced...

Robot-assisted and conventional urology surgical procedures: comparison of average length of stay, economic status, operative time and patient's expenditure in a tertiary care hospital of North India.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-assisted surgeries allows the surgeons to operate using remote-controlled robotic arms that are more effective in comparison to conventional (open/laparoscopic) surgeries. However, there is substantial lack of evidence on the effectiveness of r...

Development of an affordable, immersive model for robotic vaginal cuff closure: a randomized trial.

Journal of robotic surgery
Safe and secure closure of the vaginal cuff is a critical component of a robotic assisted hysterectomy procedure. Our aim in this study is to develop and validate a novel vaginal cuff closure model (VC) created from porcine heart that allows trainees...

3D printed patient-specific prostate cancer models to guide nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a systematic review.

Journal of robotic surgery
Precise knowledge of each patient's index cancer and surrounding anatomy is required for nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (NS-RARP). Complementary to this, 3D printing has proven its utility in improving the visualisation of complex...

The robotic learning curve for a newly appointed colorectal surgeon.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic colorectal surgery allows for better ergonomics, superior retraction, and fine movements in the narrow anatomy of the pelvis. Recent years have seen the uptake of robotic surgery in all pelvic surgeries specifically in low rectal malignancies...
