BACKGROUND: The landscape of robotic surgery is evolving with the emergence of new platforms. However, reports on their applicability in different surgical fields are still limited and come from teams with robotics experience. This study aims to desc...
BACKGROUND: In laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (RHC) for right-sided colon cancer, accurate recognition of the vascular anatomy is required for appropriate lymph node harvesting and safe operative procedures. We aimed to develop a deep learning mode...
Intravenous indocyanine green (IV ICG) is regarded as a safe immunofluorescence agent used to assess bowel perfusion prior to creating bowel anastomoses and aids in ureter identification during intra-abdominal surgery. We report the first instance of...
Multivisceral robotic surgery may be an alternative to sequential procedures in select patients with colorectal cancer who are diagnosed with synchronous lesions or in those who require additional procedures at the time of resection. The aim of this ...
Diverticulitis is a prevalent gastrointestinal disease that often warrants surgical intervention. However, the optimal approach between traditional laparoscopy (LC) and robotic-assisted laparoscopy (RAC) for diverticulitis remains unclear. Our resear...
BACKGROUND: The robot-assisted approach is now often used for rectal cancer surgery, but its use in colon cancer surgery is less well defined. This study aims to compare the outcomes of robotic-assisted colon cancer surgery to conventional laparoscop...
INTRODUCTION: The key benefits of robotics are improved precision and control, thanks to fully articulated robotic instruments and enhanced, stable endoscope control. However, colorectal procedures also require large movements such as medialization o...
