BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare perioperative, long-term oncological, and anorectal functional outcomes of robotic total mesorectal excision (R-TME) and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (L-TME) sphincter-saving total mesorectal excision...
Orifice reduction strategies for da Vinci robotic surgery have been a hot topic of research in recent years. We retrospectively analyzed the perioperative outcomes of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) with two, three, and four-hole approa...
Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy is widely performed in Asian countries, although it is still under discussion in the Western World. However, there have been few studies reporting on the learning curve of robot-assisted transaxillary thyroi...
Trans-axillary robot-assisted total thyroidectomy (RATT) is nowadays worldwide accepted but the completeness obtained by RATT is still debated. The Aim of this study was to compare the completeness and safety of RATT with conventional open thyroidect...
The aim of this study is to compare the functional, oncological, and complication outcomes of perineoscopic radical prostatectomy (PeRP) and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) operations. Patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) bet...
The new da Vinci® single-port (SP) robotic system, which utilizes a smaller incision and work space compared to the previous versions, is suitable for thyroidectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the learning curve for SP transaxillary robotic thyroid...
Esophagectomy is the selected treatment for nonmetastatic esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancer, although high perioperative morbidity and mortality incur. Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) effectively reduces cardiopul...
There is controversy over the possible advantages of the robotic technology in revisional bariatric surgery. The aim of this study is to report the experience of a high-volume bariatric center on revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with robot-assiste...
Robotic assisted surgery is the most rapidly developing field of minimally invasive surgery. Its wide diffusion has led to the development and standardization of robotic-assisted approaches also for adrenalectomy. In this study, we present the first ...
Aim of this study was to compare operative, long-term oncological and functional outcomes of laparoscopic (LISR) and robotic (RISR) intersphincteric resection in low-lying rectal cancer. Retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained database was...
