BACKGROUND: Esophageal cancer surgery is technically highly demanding. During the past decade robot-assisted surgery has successfully been introduced in esophageal cancer treatment. Various techniques are being evaluated in different centers. In part...
INTRODUCTION: Anastomotic insufficiency after oesophagectomy contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality of affected patients. A safe surgical technique can reduce the incidence of such anastomotic insufficiencies.
The background of this study is to assess the feasibility, clinical utility and safety of intra-corporeal robotic-sewn anastomosis (ICrA) in completely robotic right hemicolectomy (CRH) for adenocarcinoma. A protocol for completely robotic right hemi...
BACKGROUND: Microsurgery allows complex reconstruction of tissue defects after oncological resections or severe trauma. Performing these procedures may be limited by human tremor, precision, and manual dexterity. A new robot designed specifically for...
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the robot surgical system begins to be applied in single-anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S). However, only a few studies with very small sample size are present on robotic SADI-S.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether proficiency-based progression (PBP) training leads to better robotic surgical performance compared to traditional training (TT), given that the value of PBP training for learning robotic surgical skills is unclear.

AIM: Intracorporeal anastomosis has been associated with earlier recovery of postoperative bowel function, shorter length of stay and lower surgical site infection rates. The aim of this work is to describe a step-by-step standardized technique for i...
Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) reduces mortality and morbidity related to esophageal surgery, but a long learning curve is necessary due to the technical difficulties of thoracoscopy (35 to 119 patients required as reported in literature). Ro...
