BACKGROUND: Robotics has been used safely and successfully in a variety of adult surgeries and is gradually gaining ground in pediatrics. While the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery in disease treatment are well recognized, its high cost has led t...
PURPOSE: To evaluate three partial nephrectomies (PN) procedures: open (OPN), standard laparoscopy (LPN), and robot-assisted laparoscopy (RAPN), for the risk of initial complications and rehospitalization for two years after the surgery.

Minimally invasive surgical techniques have become more common in pelvic floor reconstructive urogynaecological surgery, specifically, robotic-assisted pelvic floor surgery. Female pelvic floor anatomy is complex, and some repairs require highly expe...
BACKGROUND: The learning curve of robotic surgical skills is poorly understood. There is a lack of data on the transferability of skills from open and laparoscopic training to robotic surgery. In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated the i...
We aimed to compare the ability of carotid corrected flow time assessed by ultrasound and the changes in dynamic preload indices induced by tidal volume challenge predicting fluid responsiveness in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic gyne...
PURPOSE: Patients with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) need to be placed in Trendelenburg position, which results in cranial displacement of the diaphragm and decreases functional residual capacity and pulmonary compliance. P...
PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy of continuous suturing using barbed suture for vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA) during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Surgical workflow analysis is essential to help optimize surgery by encouraging efficient communication and the use of resources. However, the performance of phase recognition is limited by the use of information related to the presence of surgical i...
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery has been broadly employed in complicated operations. However, the multiple surgical instruments may occupy a large amount of visual space in complex operations performed in narrow spaces, which affects the su...
This step-by-step article demonstrates our approach to robot-assisted laparoscopic revision of a bladder neck sited artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) for a spinal cord injured patient. The bladder neck location of an AUS in the spinal cord injured d...
