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...
INTRODUCTION: We implemented the NICE procedure as a robotic natural orifice colorectal resection utilizing the rectum to extract the specimen and complete an intracorporal anastomosis for diverticulitis in 2018. Although complicated diverticulitis i...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) and describe the short and long-term outcomes of pediatric RALP.
Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) was first described in 2004 and, since its introduction in clinical practice, has progressively gained increasing popularity. Over the years, the indications have also expanded, enabling robot-assisted surg...
PURPOSE: The da Vinci SP® (dVSP) surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), a robotic platform designed for single-incision surgery, overcame the need for multiple ports in traditional robotic surgery and issues including triangulation...
INTRODUCTION: The treatment of urothelial tumours of the upper urinary tract at high risk of specific mortality is based on radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (RARNU) is still under investigatio...
INTRODUCTION: Pyeloplasty (open or Robot-assisted) is the gold standard of a symptomatic UPJ stenosis. Sometimes anatomic variants make the procedure challenging. This video describes a step-by-step approach in three settings: a crossing blood vessel...
BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery has gained popularity for the reconstruction of pelvic floor defects. Nonetheless, there is no evidence that robot-assisted reconstructive surgery is either appropriate or superior to standard laparoscopy for the performan...
