To investigate the efficacy and safety of single-port (SP) robotic transperitoneal (TP) and retroperitoneal (RP) partial nephrectomy. We sequentially analyzed 30 partial nephrectomy performed after the SP robot was introduced to the hospital in Sep...
We investigated the short- and long-term outcomes of patients 80 years of age and older with colon cancer who underwent robotic colectomy versus laparoscopic colectomy. Data for patients treated at a comprehensive cancer center between January 2006 a...
Traditional teaching suggests that prior pelvic operations, including prostatectomy, are a contraindication to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Despite the growing use of robotic platforms in inguinal hernia repair, there are few studies describi...
BACKGROUND: In the past two decades, technology has advanced to augment an already minimally-invasive approach in laparoscopic surgery. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic platforms have now evolved to its 4th-generation product: a single-port system, firs...
Systematic reviews (SR) have always been used as the best evidence to compare three radical prostatectomy (RP) techniques: retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP), and robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP). De...

BACKGROUND: Robotic gastrectomy (RG) using the da Vinci Surgical System for gastric cancer was approved for national medical insurance coverage in Japan in April 2018, and its number has been rapidly increasing since then.
The robotic approach to gastric cancer has been gaining interest in recent years; however, its benefit over the open procedure in total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is still controversial. The aims of the study were to compare postoperative mo...

BACKGROUND: The preservation of autonomic nerves is the most important factor in maintaining genitourinary function in colorectal surgery; however, these nerves are not clearly recognisable, and their identification is strongly affected by the surgic...
The surgical video demonstrates the technical nuances of performing pyeloplasties on complex renal anomalies, including duplex, horseshoe, malrotated, and ectopic kidneys. The video also highlights the anatomic relationships of the affected kidney fo...
