Validate robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy with four equally-spaced ports without an assistant port.

Journal of robotic surgery
To evaluate the usefulness of robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy with four equally-spaced ports (RA-TLH/4e) without an assistant port. In RA-TLH/4e, four da Vinci ports were placed horizontally at a height of 4 cm above the umbilicus with...

Current practice and unmet training needs in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy: investigation from the Junior ERUS/YAU working group.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: To access the current scenario of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy training in multiple centers worldwide.

Robotic beyond total mesorectal excision (TME) for locally advanced or recurrent rectal cancer: a systematic review protocol.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: The surgical treatment for locally advanced or recurrent rectal cancer requires oncological clearance with a pelvic exenteration or a beyond total mesorectal excision (TME). The aim of this systematic review is to explore the safety and...

Fiberbots: Robotic fibers for high-precision minimally invasive surgery.

Science advances
Precise manipulation of flexible surgical tools is crucial in minimally invasive surgical procedures, necessitating a miniature and flexible robotic probe that can precisely direct the surgical instruments. In this work, we developed a polymer-based ...

Comparing robotic with laparoscopic beyond total mesorectal excision for advanced rectal cancer-a propensity-matched analysis.

Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland
AIM: Robotic surgery is increasingly being used for rectal resection, with short-term benefits such as reduced hospital stay, faster bowel recovery and fewer complications. However, its utility for advanced rectal cancers requiring beyond total mesor...

Risk factors and clinical significance of subcutaneous emphysema after robot-assisted laparoscopic rectal surgery: a single-center experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
Subcutaneous emphysema (SE) is a complication of laparoscopic surgery, potentially resulting in severe respiratory failure. No reports to date have focused on SE during robot-assisted (RA) rectal surgery. We aimed to reveal the risk factors and clini...

Robot-assisted vs laparoscopic bariatric procedures in super-obese patients: clinical and economic outcomes.

Journal of robotic surgery
The increased operative time and costs represent the main limitations of robotic technology application to bariatric surgery. Robotic platforms may help the surgeon to overcome the technical difficulties in super-obese (SO, BMI ≥ 50 kg/m) patients, i...

Evaluation of robot-assisted laparoscopic versus conventional laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair in children.

Journal of robotic surgery
Laparoscopic approach is the gold standard for repairing hiatal hernia (HH). Robotic technology is now widely accepted, but it is rarely used in children with HH. Our aim was to evaluate the clinical effect of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RAL...
