BACKGROUND: The increased digitization in robotic surgical procedures today enables surgeons to quantify their movements through data captured directly from the robotic system. These calculations, called objective performance indicators (OPIs), offer...
BACKGROUND: The Hugo RAS™ system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA), approved for gynaecological and urological procedures, has been recently certified for the use in few general surgeries. Only bariatric and colorectal procedures have been described ...
BACKGROUND: Video-based review is paramount for operative performance assessment but can be laborious when performed manually. Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) is a well-known method that divides any procedure into phases, steps, and tasks. HTA requi...
Robotic-assisted surgery has gained momentum in the pursuit of improved minimally invasive procedures. The adoption of new robotic platforms, such as the Versius, raises concerns about safety, efficacy, and learning curves. This study compares the Ve...
Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has declined in popularity, posing a challenge for novice surgeons. However, robotic single-site cholecystectomy (RSSC) has gained popularity in hepatopancreatic surgery, suggesting a paradigm shift...
This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the safety and oncological outcomes of robotic surgery compared to open surgery in treating gallbladder cancer (GBC). In October 2023, we performed a literature search across major global databases such as PubMed, ...
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and perioperative outcomes of cholecystectomy and hernia repair performed with the Versius Robotic System by a surgeon with no prior robotic surgery experience. A retrospective analysis was conduc...
BACKGROUND: Gallbladder cancer is often associated with poor prognosis, especially when patients experience early recurrence after surgery. Machine learning may improve prediction accuracy by analysing complex non-linear relationships. The aim of thi...

BACKGROUND: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is associated with a poor prognosis. Recurrence patterns and their effect on survival remain ill-defined. This study aimed to analyze recurrence patterns and develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict surviv...
OBJECTIVE: Gallbladder polyps (GBPs) are increasingly prevalent, with the majority being benign; however, neoplastic polyps carry a risk of malignant transformation, highlighting the importance of accurate differentiation. This study aimed to develop...
