BACKGROUND: The surgical resection of rectal carcinoma is associated with a high risk of permanent stoma rate. Primary anastomosis rate is suggested to be higher in robot-assisted and transanal total mesorectal excision, but permanent stoma rate is u...
BACKGROUND: Risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in localised prostate cancer can be stratified using the 5-tier Cambridge Prognostic Group (CPG) or 3-tier European Association of Urology (EAU) model. Active surveillance is the current recommendation...
OBJECTIVE: To describe the technique of ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) repositioning in robot-assisted dismembered pyeloplasty as a modified approach during which the UPJ is brought to a new location to facilitate the anastomosis.

Spatulation during ureteropelvic junction obstruction repair was evaluated in children treated by robot-assisted retroperitoneal pyeloplasty anastomosis (RRPA). Intraoperative video recordings (IVRs) of RRPA ( = 22 ureters) performed at a single in...
The surgical management of rectal cancer is shifting toward more widespread use of robotics across a spectrum of medical centers. There is evidence that the oncologic outcomes are equivalent to laparoscopic resections, and the post-operative outcomes...
Multiple linear stapler firings is a risk factor for anastomotic leakage (AL) in laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) using double stapling technique (DST) anastomosis. In this study, our objective was to establish the risk factors for ≥ 3 linea...

AIM: Slow laparoscopy adoption accelerated the uptake of robotic surgery. However, the current robotic platforms have limitations in transanal applications and multiple port sites. The da Vinci single-port (SP) robot is currently used on trial for co...
OBJECTIVE: To report an uncommon case of primary OP treated laparoscopically. Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the leading cause of maternal mortality during the first trimester and the incidence increases with assisted reproductive techniques, occurring in...
