The robot doesn't lie: real-life validation of robotic performance metrics.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Degree of resident participation in a case is often used as a surrogate marker for operative autonomy, an essential element of surgical resident training. Previous studies have demonstrated a considerable disagreement between the percepti...

Implementation of robot-assisted groin hernia repair diminishes the prospects of young surgeons' training: a nationwide register-based cohort study.

Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
PURPOSE: Robot-assisted groin hernia repair is becoming more popular in recent years but may remove operations from surgical trainees. We aimed to investigate the educational level of the surgeons who performed robot-assisted groin hernia repair and ...

Long-term results after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy of a simplified inguinal hernia prevention technique without artificial substance use.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
INTRODUCTION: Durable techniques that prevent postoperative inguinal hernia (IH) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) have not been established. This study evaluated the long-term efficacy of a postoperative IH prevention technique that ...

Robotic single-port surgery: Preliminary experience in general surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: We aim to analyse the safety and feasibility of the DaVinci Single Port (SP) platform in general surgery.

Trends in Robot-Assisted Procedures for General Surgery in the Veterans Health Administration.

The Journal of surgical research
INTRODUCTION: Implementation of robot-assisted procedures is growing. Utilization within the country's largest healthcare network, the Veterans Health Administration, is unclear.

Laparoscopic versus robotic inguinal hernia repair: a single-center case-matched study.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: Robotic inguinal hernia repair (RIHR) is becoming increasingly common and is the minimally invasive alternative to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR). Thus far, there is little data directly comparing LIHR and RIHR. The purpose ...

Robot-Assisted General Surgery Procedures at the Veterans Health Administration: A Comparison of Surgical Techniques.

The Journal of surgical research
INTRODUCTION: The use of the robot in general surgery has exploded in the last decade. The Veterans Health Administration presents a unique opportunity to study differences between surgical approaches due to the ability to control for health system a...

Robot-assisted groin hernia repair is primarily performed by specialized surgeons: a scoping review.

Journal of robotic surgery
Surgical residents routinely participate in open and laparoscopic groin hernia repairs. The increasing popularity of robot-assisted groin hernia repair could lead to an educational loss for residents. We aimed to explore the involvement of surgical s...

Combined robotic and subinguinal microsurgical vasovasostomy for vasal obstruction after inguinal hernia repair.

BMJ case reports
Obstruction of the vas deferens may occur after inguinal hernia repair with mesh and lead to infertility. In cases where natural conception is desired and after obtaining test results that suggest the presence of spermatogenesis, surgical reconstruct...

Results of robotic TAPP and conventional laparoscopic TAPP in an outpatient setting: a cohort study in Switzerland.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
PURPOSE: Recently, robotic surgery has been increasingly performed in hernia surgery. Although feasibility and safety of robot-assisted inguinal hernia repair in an inpatient setting have been already shown, its role in outpatient hernia surgery has ...
