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...
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...
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...
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...
It is known that over half of previously surveyed surgeons performing Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery (RALS) and three-quarters of those performing Traditional Laparoscopic Surgery (TLS) experience intraoperative pain. This survey study aimed to ...
BACKGROUND: Few studies assessed robotic in emergency setting and no solid evidence was demonstrated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAPP) repair for the treatment of...
BACKGROUND: The precise recognition of liver vessels during liver parenchymal dissection is the crucial technique for laparoscopic liver resection (LLR). This retrospective feasibility study aimed to develop artificial intelligence (AI) models to rec...
To investigate the effectiveness of continuity of care after robot-assisted adrenal tumor resection under ambulatory mode. Patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RALA) in the ambulatory surgery department and urology depart...
