Does prior transurethral resection of prostate affect the functional and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy? A matched-pair analysis.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is challenging in men with prior history of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Few studies analyze this peculiar group of patients, and hence we sought to investigate the outcome of RARP in pos...

Reducing retraction forces with tactile feedback during robotic total mesorectal excision in a porcine model.

Journal of robotic surgery
Excessive tissue-instrument interaction forces during robotic surgery have the potential for causing iatrogenic tissue damages. The current in vivo study seeks to assess whether tactile feedback could reduce intraoperative tissue-instrument interacti...

Learning curve for robotic bedside assistance for rectal cancer: application of the cumulative sum method.

Journal of robotic surgery
BACKGROUND: This investigation assesses the learning curve for dedicated bedside assistance at a facility that recently adopted robot-assisted rectal resection.

Study on augmented reality for robotic surgery bedside assistants.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic surgery bedside assistants play an important role in robotic procedures by performing intra-corporeal tasks while accommodating the physical presence of the robot. We hypothesized that an augmented reality headset enabling 3D intra-corporeal ...

Robotic surgery: would any other (more accurate) name smell as sweet?

Journal of robotic surgery
The term we use to describe a surgical case that employs robotics influences how experts and laypeople think about this procedure. Robotic surgery is a misnomer because it implies more automation compared to what actually happens. A more realistic de...

Concomitant robot-assisted laparoscopic surgeries for upper and lower urinary tract malignancies: a comprehensive literature review.

Journal of robotic surgery
Worldwide, we have witnessed an expansion of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) and thanks to the global adoption of high-resolution diagnostic imaging technologies, an increased incidence of newly diagnosed prostatic, renal and bladder cance...

Mandate to evaluate robotic surgery implementation: a 12-year retrospective analysis of impact and future implications.

Journal of robotic surgery
The introduction of robotic surgery in hospitals has raised much debate given the various effects on care, costs, education and medical advancement. Purchasing discussions are often approached with more questions than answers and there is a need for ...

Transhiatal robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy: unclear benefits compared to traditional transhiatal esophagectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
Esophagectomy is a high-risk operation, regardless of technique. Minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy could reduce length of stay and pulmonary complications compared to traditional open approaches, but the benefits of minimally invasive tr...

Heller myotomy perforation: robotic visualization decreases perforation rate and revisional surgery is a perforation risk.

Journal of robotic surgery
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has improved surgical access to the foregut. While the benefits of MIS versus open surgery are well accepted, the relative benefits of laparoscopic versus robotic approaches continue to be debated. Procedure-specific ...

Short-term and pathologic outcomes of robotic versus open pancreatoduodenectomy for periampullary and pancreatic head malignancy: an early experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
Open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) is associated with high perioperative morbidity. Adoption of robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy (RAPD) has been slow despite ergonomic advantages, improved visualization and dexterity. We aim to report our experienc...
