A comparative study of anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy among men undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a prospective single institution study.

Journal of robotic surgery
The present study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) under anticoagulant (AC) and/or antiplatelet (AP) therapy, as compared to a control group, and to establis...

Does adoption of new technology increase surgical volume? The robotic inguinal hernia repair model.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic Inguinal Hernia repair has been associated with higher costs but shorter length of stay. Robotic surgery is an appealing option for patients undergoing elective hernia surgery however given the high startup, maintenance and operating costs, t...

Robotic mesh-supported pectopexy for pelvic organ prolapse: expanding the options of pelvic floor repair.

Journal of robotic surgery
Pelvic organ prolapse affects 30-50% of the female population. For definitive treatment surgery is unavoidable. Sacrocolpopexy has been the gold standard for anatomical correction of pelvic organ prolapse since the 1990s. Recently, pectopexy has been...

The evolution of image guidance in robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP): a glimpse into the future.

Journal of robotic surgery
OBJECTIVES: To describe the innovative intraoperative technologies emerging to aid surgeons during minimally invasive robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Robot-assisted pancreatic surgery-optimized operating procedures: set-up, port placement, surgical steps.

Journal of robotic surgery
Even in most complex surgical settings, recent advances in minimal-invasive technologies have made the application of robotic-assisted devices more viable. Due to ever increasing experience and expertise, many large international centers now offer ro...

Implementation of a standardized robotic assistant surgical training curriculum.

Journal of robotic surgery
Since 2000, robotic-assisted surgery has rapidly expanded into almost every surgical sub-specialty. Despite the popularity of robotic surgery across the United States, a national consensus for standardized training and education of robotic surgeons o...

Single- versus multi-port robotic partial nephrectomy: a comparative analysis of perioperative outcomes and analgesic requirements.

Journal of robotic surgery
Evidence supporting the safe use of the single-port (SP) robot for partial nephrectomy is scarce. The purpose of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes for patients undergoing robotic assisted SP vs multi-port (MP) partial nephrectomy (PN) ...

Development and validation of the metric-based assessment of a robotic vessel dissection, vessel loop positioning, clip applying and bipolar coagulation task on an avian model.

Journal of robotic surgery
The evolution of robotic technology and its diffusion does not seem to have been adequately accompanied by the development and implementation of surgeon training programs that ensure skilled and safe device use at the start of the learning curve. The...

Incremental modification of robotic prostatectomy technique can lead to aggregated marginal gains to significantly improve functional outcomes without compromising oncological control.

Journal of robotic surgery
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Surgeons should aim for continuous quality improvement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of incremental changes to Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) technique on intra-operative and early post-op...

Robotic pancreas surgery: an overview of history and update on technique, outcomes, and financials.

Journal of robotic surgery
The use robotics in surgery is gaining momentum. This approach holds substantial promise in pancreas surgery. Robotic surgery for pancreatic lesions and malignancies has become well accepted and is expanding to more and more center annually. The numb...
