Emergent robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for perforated gastrojejunal ulcers: a retrospective cohort study of 44 patients.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Perforated gastrojejunal ulcers are a known complication following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery requiring emergent surgical repair. The robotic approach has not been evaluated for emergency general surgery.

Assessing the learning curve associated with a novel flexible robot in the pre-clinical and clinical setting.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Transoral robotic surgery has been successfully used by head and neck surgeons for a variety of procedures but is limited by rigid instrumentation and line-of-sight visualization. Non-linear systems specifically designed for the aerodiges...

Prevention of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in robotic thyroidectomy: imaging and technique.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this report was to summarize observations, evaluate the feasibility, provide detailed information concerning proper techniques, and address limitations for non-recurrent laryngeal nerve (NRLN) dissection and release during th...

Minimally invasive (laparoscopic and robot-assisted) versus open approach for central pancreatectomies: a single-center experience.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: There continues to be an interest in minimally invasive approaches to pancreatic surgery. At our institution, there has been a progressive change from an open to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) (laparoscopic, robotic, or laparoscopic-rob...

Robotic natural-orifice IntraCorporeal anastomosis with Extraction (NICE procedure) for complicated diverticulitis.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Totally intracorporeal surgery for left-sided resection carries numerous potential advantages by avoiding crossing staple lines and eliminating the need for an abdominal incision. For those with complicated diverticulitis, minimally invas...

A novel machine learning-based algorithm to identify and classify lesions and anatomical landmarks in colonoscopy images.

Surgical endoscopy
OBJECTIVES: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD)-based artificial intelligence (AI) has been shown to be highly accurate for detecting and characterizing colon polyps. However, the application of AI to identify normal colon landmarks and differentiate mult...

A contextual detector of surgical tools in laparoscopic videos using deep learning.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The complexity of laparoscopy requires special training and assessment. Analyzing the streaming videos during the surgery can potentially improve surgical education. The tedium and cost of such an analysis can be dramatically reduced usin...

Robot-assisted vs. laparoscopic repair of complete upside-down stomach hiatal hernia (the RATHER-study): a prospective comparative single center study.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Complete upside-down stomach (cUDS) hernias are a subgroup of large hiatal hernias characterized by high risk of life-threatening complications and technically challenging surgical repair including complex mediastinal dissection. In a pro...

Robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery: a case series.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: This study describes the experience with robot-assisted transanal minimally invasive surgery (rTAMIS) at a single institution. TAMIS has become a popular minimally invasive technique for local excision of well-selected rectal lesions. r...
