PURPOSE: Robot-assisted groin hernia repair is becoming more popular in recent years but may remove operations from surgical trainees. We aimed to investigate the educational level of the surgeons who performed robot-assisted groin hernia repair and ...
Aim of this study was to compare operative, long-term oncological and functional outcomes of laparoscopic (LISR) and robotic (RISR) intersphincteric resection in low-lying rectal cancer. Retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained database was...
Laparoscopic surgery is widely used for treating intra-abdominal conditions involving the gallbladder, pancreas, liver, intestines and reproductive organs. Conventional laparoscopy instruments used in manual surgeries usually have straight shafts and...
BACKGROUND: An increasing number of transplant centers have adopted robot-assisted living donor nephrectomy. Thus, a transplant fellow assessment tool is needed for promoting operative independence in an objective and safe manner.
