INTRODUCTION: We report on a case of congenital unilateral atresia of the vas deferens encountered during a robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair.
INTRODUCTION: Robotic gastrectomy (RG) is a good alternative to laparoscopic gastrectomy, as it improves treatment outcomes and reduces the burden of technical difficulties; however, prolonged operative time may be a disadvantage. This study aimed to...
In this study, we report a case of incarcerated direct inguinal hernia (DIH) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in a patient with concomitant DIH. The 71-year-old man underwent RARP. Six days later, he developed a right DIH incarcerati...

OBJECTIVES: Despite increasing use of robotic technology for minimally invasive hysterectomy with sacrocolpopexy, evidence supporting the benefits of these costly procedures remains inconclusive. This study aimed to compare differences in perioperati...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity, which has contributed to a decrease in the number of open procedures. Hence a growing concern regarding the ability of laparoscopically trained surgeons to perform open surgery (e...
We assessed whether the severity of anastomotic urinary leakage detected during routine cystourethrography after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) affects urinary continence recovery. Around 302 patients who underwent RALP between Augu...
An autonomous robotic laparoscopic surgical technique is capable of tracking tissue motion and offers consistency in suturing for the anastomosis of the small bowel.
Optimal management of duplication anomalies may include an upper or lower tract surgical approach. In the contemporary era, the robot-assisted laparoscopic heminephrectomy (RALHN) and robot-assisted laparoscopic ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy (RALIU...
