Developing basic robotic skills using virtual reality simulation and automated assessment tools: a multidisciplinary robotic virtual reality-based curriculum using the Da Vinci Skills Simulator and tracking progress with the Intuitive Learning platform.

Journal of robotic surgery
This study sought to develop basic robotic surgical skills among surgical trainees across multiple specialties using a VR-based curriculum and provided objective, on-demand, automated assessments using the Intuitive Learning platform. This curriculum...

Learning curve of robotic inguinal hernia repair in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon: a comparative study.

Journal of robotic surgery
BACKGROUND: Since its introduction, robotic surgery has been utilized in different types of surgeries over various specialties. However, studies done thus far comparing robotic (Rob. IHR) and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (Lap. IHR) yielded con...

Efficacy and feasibility of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for octogenarians: comparison with younger counterparts.

Journal of robotic surgery
To compare short-term functional and surgical outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in patients ≥ 80 years old and their younger counterparts, we retrospectively analyzed 1234 patients who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy....

Image-based laparoscopic camera steering versus conventional steering: a comparison study.

Journal of robotic surgery
In the last 2 decades, multiple robotic camera holders have been developed to improve camera steering during laparoscopic surgery. A new image-based steering method has been developed for more intuitive camera control. In this article, the efficiency...

Robot-assisted versus video-assisted thoraco-laparoscopic McKeown's esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: a propensity score-matched analysis of minimally invasive approaches.

Journal of robotic surgery
Minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer decreases overall complication rate and leads to faster postoperative recovery. Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy is becoming more common. Its three-dimensional view and wristed ins...

Impact of robotic single and dual console systems in the training of minimally invasive gynecology surgery (MIGS) fellows.

Journal of robotic surgery
The advantages of dual console use in robotic surgical education have not been described. The aims of this study are to compare fellow console time, surgical steps performed, and surgical takeovers between attending and fellow surgeons using dual ver...

Economizing on a 12 mm port incision site: modification of robotic bowel stapling technique in Da Vinci X/Xi left colonic resections-the modified Norfolk and Norwich robotic stapling technique.

Journal of robotic surgery
The modified Norfolk and Norwich technique allows to replace a 12 mm port incision site by an 8 mm one, therefore reducing potential postoperative complications linked to 12 mm incisions by robotically stapling through the routinely placed suprapubic...

Nerve spare robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with amniotic membranes: medium term outcomes.

Journal of robotic surgery
dHACM is a source of factors including cytokines that allow anti-inflammatory and proliferative elements to be utilized for wound and ulcer management. We present our experience of using dHACM in a cohort of patients undergoing nerve-sparing (NS) rob...

Minimally invasive hysterectomy for benign indications-surgical volume matters: a retrospective cohort study comparing complications of robotic-assisted and conventional laparoscopic hysterectomies.

Journal of robotic surgery
The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of perioperative complications in robotic-assisted hysterectomies performed by high-volume robotic surgeons compared to conventional laparoscopic hysterectomies performed by all gynecologic su...

Impact of previous transurethral resection of prostate on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a matched cohort analysis.

Journal of robotic surgery
We aimed to compare surgical, oncological, and functional outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in prostate cancer patients with and without prior history of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), using a matched cohort ana...
