Robotic and laparoscopic sphincter-saving resections have similar peri-operative, oncological and functional outcomes in female patients with rectal cancer.

Updates in surgery
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...

Comparison of clinical efficacy of da Vinci robot-assisted lung cancer surgery with two-, three- and four-hole approaches.

Updates in surgery
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...

The learning curve on robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy performed by a single endocrine surgeon in a third-level institution in Europe: a cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis.

Updates in surgery
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...

Comparison of surgical completeness in patients operated on conventional open total thyroidectomy (OT) or trans-axillary robot-assisted total thyroidectomy (RATT) by a single axillary approach.

Updates in surgery
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...

Comparison of oncological and functional outcomes of perineoscopic radical prostatectomy and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Updates in surgery
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 learning curve for single-port transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy (SP-TART): experience through initial 50 cases of lobectomy.

Updates in surgery
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...

Robot-assisted esophagectomy with robot-sewn intrathoracic anastomosis (Ivor Lewis): surgical technique and early results.

Updates in surgery
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...

Cost-effectiveness analysis of revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: laparoscopic vs. robot assisted.

Updates in surgery
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...

The new robotic platform Hugo™ RAS for lateral transabdominal adrenalectomy: a first world report of a series of five cases.

Updates in surgery
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 ...

Robotic vs. laparoscopic intersphincteric resection for low rectal cancer: a case matched study reporting a median of 7-year long-term oncological and functional outcomes.

Updates in surgery
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...
