INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects approximately 10%-15% of women of childbearing age. Laparoscopic surgery is the preferred surgical approach. Recently, robotic surgery has been used for benign gynecologic sur...
BACKGROUND: Since its introduction, robotic surgery has been utilized in different types of surgeries over various specialties. However, studies done thus far comparing robotic (Rob. IHR) and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (Lap. IHR) yielded con...
In the last 2 decades, multiple robotic camera holders have been developed to improve camera steering during laparoscopic surgery. A new image-based steering method has been developed for more intuitive camera control. In this article, the efficiency...
BACKGROUND: Although there is extensive literature on robotic total intracorporeal anastomosis (TICA) for right colon resection, left total ICA using the da Vinci Xi robotic platform has only been described in short case series previously. In this st...
Minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer decreases overall complication rate and leads to faster postoperative recovery. Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy is becoming more common. Its three-dimensional view and wristed ins...
BACKGROUND: Since the development of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), laparoscopic and robotic approaches have been widely adopted. However, little has been published detailing the learning curve of MIS, especially in infants.
Robot-assisted total gastrectomy for gastric cancer is a demanding operation that is increasingly being performed, not only in Asia but also in specialised centres in Europe. The minimally invasive resection - and above all the lymphadenectomy and th...
