Consensus priority research questions in gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgery in the year 2020: results of a SAGES Delphi study.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: The objectives of this study were to identify consensus priority research questions according to members of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), and to explore differences in priorities according to ...

Spin is present in the majority of articles evaluating robot-assisted groin hernia repair: a systematic review.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The number of scientific articles published each year is increasing, resulting in greater competition to get work published. Spin is defined as specific reporting strategies used to distort the readers' interpretation of results so that t...

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic approach to concurrent bariatric surgery and hiatal hernia repair: propensity score matching analysis using the 2015-2018 MBSAQIP.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Up to 37% of class three obesity patients have a Hiatal Hernia (HH). Most of the existent HHs get repaired at the time of bariatric surgery. Although the robotic platform might offer potential technical advantages over traditional laparos...

Ensemble deep learning for the prediction of proficiency at a virtual simulator for robot-assisted surgery.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance patient safety in surgery, and all its aspects, including education and training, will derive considerable benefit from AI. In the present study, deep-learning models were used to ...

Evaluation of the learning curve for robot-assisted rectal surgery using the cumulative sum method.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: There is no clear evidence on the number of cases required to master the techniques required in robot-assisted surgery for different surgical fields and techniques. The purpose of this study was to clarify the learning curve of robot-assi...

Review of automated performance metrics to assess surgical technical skills in robot-assisted laparoscopy.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted laparoscopy is a safe surgical approach with several studies suggesting correlations between complication rates and the surgeon's technical skills. Surgical skills are usually assessed by questionnaires completed by an ex...

Single-port transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy (START): 200-cases with two-step retraction method.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: This study aims to report the results of a pioneering clinical study using the single-port transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy (START) for 200 patients with thyroid tumor and to introduce our novel two-step retraction method.

Changes in outcomes and operative trends with pediatric robot-assisted resection of choledochal cyst.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to report our experience with a robot-assisted resection of choledochal cysts (CCs) in pediatric patients, especially focusing on changes in outcomes and operative trends.

Neuroenhancement of surgeons during robotic suturing.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The initial phases of robotic surgical skills acquisition are associated with poor technical performance, such as low knot-tensile strength (KTS). Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) can improve force and accuracy in motor task...

Short-term outcomes in robot-assisted compared to laparoscopic colon cancer resections: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted surgery is increasingly adopted in colorectal surgery. However, evidence for the implementation of robot-assisted surgery for colon cancer is sparse. This study aims to evaluate the short-term outcomes of robot-assisted col...
