BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) is a commonly performed procedure in children, but its actual cost implications on the healthcare ecosystem have not been adequately defined. Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) is a n...
BACKGROUND: The outcomes of paraaortic lymphadenectomy were compared for the treatment of gynecological malignancies to identify the most appropriate surgical approach.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after partial nephrectomy is attributed to parenchymal reduction and ischemia, but the extent of its effect remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the incidence of postoperative AKI among surgical modalities, robot-as...
BACKGROUND: The da Vinci Single-Port (SP) robot is a novel platform designed to facilitate single-incision robotic surgery (rSILS). The objective of this study was to describe our initial experience using this platform for SP robotic (SPr) right cole...

AIM: The debate about the oncological adequacy, safety and efficiency of robotic vs laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancers continues. Therefore, an updated, traditional and cumulative meta-analysis was performed with the aim of ass...
Most robotic camera steering devices (RCSDs) require active steering by the surgeon and necessarily increase workload. Clinical experience shows that standard laparoscopic procedures can be performed safely as solo surgery aided by RCSDs. No evidenc...

BACKGROUND: Identifying laparoscopic surgical videos using artificial intelligence (AI) facilitates the automation of several currently time-consuming manual processes, including video analysis, indexing, and video-based skill assessment. This study ...
Minimally invasive laparoscopic low or ultra-low anterior resection may present as a complex, technically difficult challenge to even the most experienced of colorectal surgeons. This is because, within the narrow confines of the pelvis, there is usu...
