Robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) and robotic ureteroureterostomy (RUU) are two mini-invasive surgical techniques that have begun to be performed in pediatric urology in recent years. RALUR has been employed esp...
BACKGROUND: The utilization of the robot for inguinal hernia repairs has increased in the past years. The new Da Vinci Single Port (SP) system provides the benefits of single-incision procedures and might overcome the technical difficulties of previo...
IMPORTANCE: Robotic assistance in pelvic organ prolapse surgery can improve surgeon ergonomics and instrument dexterity compared with traditional laparoscopy but at increased costs.
BACKGROUND: As in many other fields of surgery, robotically assisted surgical procedures have been established in the treatment of ventral hernias in recent years. The use of the robot can combine the demands of a minimally invasive approach and retr...
Laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) and robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) are important approaches for large benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), though it is still unclear which is superior. This study aimed to perform a pooled analysis ...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted extravesical ureteral reimplantation (REVUR) is a well established approach for surgical treatment of pediatric vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). However, further evidence is needed to confirm its efficacy even in case of comple...
An 85-year-old woman presented with a stomachache after a meal and was admitted to the previous clinic. Multi-detector computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed wall thickening in the rectum and right ectopic pelvic kidney. Colonoscopy revealed ...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery has integrated into the healthcare system despite limited evidence demonstrating its clinical benefit. Our objectives were (i) to describe secular trends and (ii) patient- and system-level determinants of the receipt of ...

PURPOSE: A clear surgical field of view is a prerequisite for successful laparoscopic surgery. Surgical smoke, image blur, and lens fogging can affect the clarity of laparoscopic imaging. We aimed to develop a real-time assistance system (namely LVQI...
