OBJECTIVE: Recent reports in both cervical and endometrial cancer suggest that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) had an unanticipated negative impact on long-term clinical outcomes, including recurrence and death. Given increasing use of robotic surge...
INTRODUCTION: The best surgical technique for rectal cancer invading the prostate remains controversial. Rectal resection with en bloc prostatectomy using a standard retropubic approach is an option but has disadvantages. We report a new surgical pro...
The majority of retroperitoneal mass excision is performed via conventional "open" laparotomy due to concerns of technical difficulty and adequate oncological margins in cases of a malignant sarcoma. A very few cases of minimally invasive resection b...
PURPOSE: Single-incision laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy has not been widely applied due to technical challenges and increased operative risks. The newly released da Vinci SP system has been introduced to overcome these limitations and offer impro...
