Robotic infant surgery with 3 mm instruments: a study in piglets of less than 10 kg body weight.

Journal of robotic surgery
No data exist concerning the appication of a new robotic system with 3 mm instruments (Senhance®, Transenterix) in infants and small children. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the system for its feasibility, performance and safety of robo...

A comparison of surgical outcomes among robotic cases performed with an employed surgical assist versus a second surgeon as the assist.

Journal of robotic surgery
To examine whether utilizing an employed surgical first assistant or a physician as an assistant during gynecologic robotic cases affects surgical variables. A high volume gynecologic oncologist's robotic case data spanning fourteen years (2005-2018)...

Sustained results of robotic mitral repair in a lower volume center with extensive minimally invasive mitral repair experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
The literature for robotic mitral repair is dominated by a small number of large volume institutions, and intermediate-term outcomes out to 5 years are rare. Whether and under what circumstances a lower volume institution could obtain durable outcome...

Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy following colo-rectal surgery: a user's guide.

Journal of robotic surgery
To assess the feasibility and operative outcomes of RARP following colo-rectal surgery. A prospective database of patients undergoing RARP is maintained at our Institution since January 2015. We reviewed all patients undergoing RARP after previous co...

The effect of diabetes on major robotic hepatectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
Studies regarding the influence of diabetes on perioperative outcomes after major hepatectomy are conflicting. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of diabetes on patients undergoing robotic major hepatectomy. With Institutional Revi...

Propensity matched analysis of short term oncological and perioperative outcomes following robotic and thoracolaparoscopic esophagectomy for carcinoma esophagus- the first Indian experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
Thoracolaparoscopic esophagectomy (TLE) for carcinoma esophagus has better short-term outcomes compared to open esophagectomy. The precise role of robot-assisted laparoscopic esophagectomy (RALE) is still evolving. Single center retrospective analysi...

An interdisciplinary team-training protocol for robotic gynecologic surgery improves operating time and costs: analysis of a 4-year experience in a university hospital setting.

Journal of robotic surgery
Main aim of this study is to assess the effect of a structured, interdisciplinary, surgical, team-training protocol in robotic gynecologic surgery, with the gradual integration of an advanced nurse practitioner. Data from all robotic surgical procedu...

Proposed training pathway with initial experience to set up robotic hepatobiliary and pancreatic service.

Journal of robotic surgery
Although robot-assisted hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HPB) surgery has gained momentum over the last 2 decades, only a handful of units in the world perform major robotic resections. Adaptation of robotic surgery in the UK lags behind its European co...

Predictors of complications occurring after open and robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery: a retrospective evaluation of 1062 consecutive patients treated in a tertiary referral high volume center.

Journal of robotic surgery
To investigate factors associated with the risk of major complications after radical prostatectomy (RP) by the open (ORP) or robot-assisted (RARP) approach for prostate cancer (PCa) in a tertiary referral center. 1062 consecutive patients submitted t...

Immediate post-operative PDE5i therapy improves early erectile function outcomes after robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Journal of robotic surgery
To assess whether the timing of post-operative Phosphodiesterase Inhibitor (PDE5i) therapy after Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) is associated with a change in early erectile function (EF) outcomes, continence or safety outcomes. Data wer...
