Long-term results of robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting with composite arterial grafts for multiple coronary anastomoses: 10-year experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
Currently, robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (RACABG) is a feasible choice for myocardial revascularization. Acceptable outcomes have been reported for RACABG with single target vessels; however, the long-term benefits of multivessel R...

Robotic biliary surgery for benign and malignant bile duct obstruction: a case series.

Journal of robotic surgery
The majority of patients with benign or malignant biliary obstruction require surgical treatment with a bilio-enteric anastomosis. This requires fine dissection and advanced suturing. Robotic surgery may overcome some major limitations of conventiona...

Robotic versus hand-assisted laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy: comparison of two minimally invasive techniques in kidney transplantation.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-assisted donor nephrectomy (RDN) is increasingly used due to its advantages such as its precision and reduced learning curve when compared to laparoscopic techniques. Concerns remain among surgeons regarding possible longer warm ischemia time. ...

Is robotic lobectomy cheaper? A micro-cost analysis.

Journal of robotic surgery
Higher capital costs and operating room costs associated with Lobectomy via Robot Assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS) have previously been suggested as the principal contributors to the elevated overall cost. This study uses a micro-costing approach to ...

Retzius-sparing technique independently predicts early recovery of urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is the conventional surgical treatment option for localised prostate cancer. We investigated factors which may be associated with recovery of early urinary continence (EUC), including the use of the Retzius...

Mid-term functional outcomes of extraperitoneal robot-assisted simple prostatectomy: a single centre experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
For large prostate volume, open simple prostatectomy (OSP) or holmium laser enucleation are the gold standard surgical treatment medical therapy failure. Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) has recently been proposed as an alternative to OSP a...

Impact of the severity of urethrovesical anastomotic leakage on urinary continence following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
We assessed whether the severity of anastomotic urinary leakage detected during routine cystourethrography after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) affects urinary continence recovery. Around 302 patients who underwent RALP between Augu...

Does type of robotic platform make a difference in the final cost of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy?

Journal of robotic surgery
This study evaluates the difference of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) costs in patients with similar preoperative characteristics operated on using the da Vinci SP and Xi robotic platforms. We performed a retrospective analysis on 71 con...

Upper or lower tract approach for duplex anomalies? A bi-institutional comparative analysis of robot-assisted approaches.

Journal of robotic surgery
Optimal management of duplication anomalies may include an upper or lower tract surgical approach. In the contemporary era, the robot-assisted laparoscopic heminephrectomy (RALHN) and robot-assisted laparoscopic ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy (RALIU...
