Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 50 kg/m is a challenging procedure and BMI ≥ 50 kg/m has been identified as independent risk factor for postoperative complications and increased morbidity in previous studies. ...
To compare the perioperative outcomes of surgical staging performed using conventional laparotomy (LT) or the da Vinci SP robotic system (SP) in patients with endometrial cancer. We retrospectively analyzed 180 patients with stage I-III endometrial c...
While robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) has been revolutionizing surgical procedures, it has various areas needing improvement, specifically in the visualization sector. Suboptimal vision due to lens occlusions has been a topic of concern in laparoscopi...

BACKGROUND: Lack of anatomy recognition represents a clinically relevant risk in abdominal surgery. Machine learning (ML) methods can help identify visible patterns and risk structures; however, their practical value remains largely unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the health-related quality of life and cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) versus conventional 'straight stick' laparoscopic surgery (CLS) in women undergoing hysterectomy as part of their treatment ...
BACKGROUND: While well-established protocols direct laparoscopic training, there remains a relative paucity of guidelines for robotic education. Furthermore, it is unknown how exposure to one platform influences trainees' proficiency in the other. Th...
PURPOSE: Patients who undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) may present concurrent or secondary inguinal hernia (IH). Surgical repair of IH simultaneously with RARP has been reported. We aimed to assess the long-term effica...
