AIM: A controlled bench test was undertaken to determine the performance variability among a range of neonatal self-inflating bags (SIB) compliant with current International Standards Organisation (ISO).
Many studies have shown the operative feasibility and safety of robotic thyroidectomy. However, there is still a concern on the operative invasiveness of robotic thyroidectomy owing to the wide flap dissection. The aim of this study was to introduce...
BACKGROUND: Pneumoperitoneum to maintain a constant gas flow to assist various surgeries is known to cause severe bradycardia and has been linked to heart failure;; however, a recent study demonstrated that it is not linked to poorer surgical outcome...
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is the standard of care for small, localized kidney tumors. This surgery is conducted within a short hospital stay and can even be performed as outpatient surgery in selected patients. In order to allow early...
PURPOSE: AirSeal is a valve-less trocar insufflation system which is widely used in robotic urologic surgeries. More evidence is needed concerning the application and cost of AirSeal in retroperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
Various complications can occur during robot-assisted thoracic surgery for mediastinal tumors owing to carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation. This study reports the case of a 43-year-old woman who underwent robot-assisted surgery for an anterior mediasti...
