Robot-assisted surgery is likely to become the new standard of care for functional urology and neurourology. It has the potential to fill the gap that has prevented the spread of laparoscopic surgery in these fields. With its many technical advantage...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic transabdominal peritoneal repair (TAPP) for unilateral inguinal hernia.
The proposed video-vignette represents a later step towards a truly robotically surgical approach, that combines oncological radicality and preservation of optimal blood flow during a sigmoidectomy for cancer. This totally robotic vessel-sparing appr...
Previous studies have shown that the robotic approach has better perioperative outcomes but longer operative time than the laparoscopic approach for patients undergoing low anterior resection. However, the impact of the learning curve on operative t...
Robotic surgical systems are now an inherent part of the German hospital landscape. In recent years, there has been an enormous increase in installed systems and operations performed, especially in abdominal surgery. Even though there is a lack of st...
Post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence is one of the greatest concerns for both patients and urologists. The aim of this study is to elucidate simple and reliable factors contributing to early recovery of urinary continence (UC) and to develop a pre...
The aim of this study is to report our experience in minimally invasive management of rectovesical fistulae (RVFs). Between 2004 and 2021, 24 patients who underwent minimally invasive RVF repair by a single surgeon at 3 international institutions w...
PURPOSE: The utilization rate of robotic surgery for bariatric procedures is not well-described. Our study identified the proportion of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) procedures in the United States between 2015 and 2020 performed using a robo...
