What factors affect the operative time of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy?

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has gained prominence since the da Vinci surgical system was introduced in 2000. RARP has now become a standard procedure for treating cases with localized prostate cancer. However, no study has...

Optimizing the robotic surgery team: an operations management perspective.

International urogynecology journal
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: To assess the critical threshold to optimize operating room (OR) time for each surgical team member in robotically assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASCP) and to evaluate the most efficient team compositions.

Comparison of operative time between robotic and laparoscopic myomectomy for removal of numerous myomas.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that the total operative time of robot myomectomy (RM) is shorter than that of laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) in cases where numerous myomas are removed, due to the faster suturing time of the robotic system. To verify this,...

Subsphincteric Anastomosis During Laparoscopic Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy and Its Positive Impact on Continence Recovery.

Journal of endourology
To assess the interest of a new sphincter preserving anastomosis technique for continence recovery after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). : We performed a monocentric single-operator study on 187 consecutive RALP. Patients w...

Robotic "Double Loop" Roux-en-Y gastric bypass reduces the risk of postoperative internal hernias: a prospective observational study.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Internal herniation (IH) is a potentially serious complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence of IH after robot-assisted RYGB (RA-RYGB) performed with the "Double Loop...

Evaluation of a stand-alone robotic camera holding system: technology that improves laparoscopy.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
INTRODUCTION: In order to perform laparoscopic procedures, a surgeon requires an assistant to hold the camera. Problems with this approach include table crowding leading to poor ergonomics, and miscommunication leading to poor images. AutoLap is a no...

Inguinal lymph node dissection in the era of minimally invasive surgical technology.

Urologic oncology
BACKGROUND: Inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) is an essential step in both treatment and staging of several malignancies including penile and vulvar cancers. Various open, video endoscopic, and robotic-assisted techniques have been utilized so fa...
