The objective of this study is to evaluate the perioperative and long-term outcomes of robot-assisted hemicolectomy (RAH) versus laparoscopy-assisted hemicolectomy (LAH) for left-sided colon cancers. Patients who underwent RAH and LAH from January 20...
The robotic system has overcome some laparoscopic shortcomings, such as stereoscopic 3D-magnified vision, a stable camera and flexible and tremor filtering manipulation. Therefore, robotic surgery has made many steps forward gaining more diffusion in...
BACKGROUND: infection (CDI) is now the most common cause of healthcare-associated infections, with increasing prevalence, severity, and mortality of nosocomial and community-acquired CDI which makes up approximately one third of all CDI. There are a...
BACKGROUND: The daVinci Single-Port (SP) robot is a new robotic platform designed to overcome the challenges of Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and technical aspects of SP robotic (S...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: In accordance with guidelines, most patients with T1 colorectal cancers (CRC) undergo surgical resection with lymph node dissection, despite the low incidence (∼10%) of metastasis to lymph nodes. To reduce unnecessary surgical rese...

OBJECTIVE: To summarize our initial experience with robot-assisted complete mesocolic excision (R-CME) using a domestically produced Chinese surgical robot by a short-term evaluation.
BACKGROUND: Common colorectal procedures that require access to all quadrants of the abdomen are subtotal colectomy (STC) and total proctocolectomy (TPC). These are frequently performed with a surgical robot, but multiquadrant operations have unique ...
BACKGROUND: Sigmoid resection in diverticulitis is one of the most frequently performed colonic operations. A minimally invasive approach by laparoscopy is the surgical gold standard. For a few years now, sigmoid resections have also been performed r...
Limited biomarkers have been identified as prognostic predictors for stage III colon cancer. To combat this shortfall, we developed a computer-aided approach which combing convolutional neural network with machine classifier to predict the prognosis ...
