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...

It is unknown if surgeons are more likely to adopt or abandon robotic techniques given that bariatric procedures are already performed by surgeons with advanced laparoscopic skills. We used a statewide bariatric-specific data registry to evaluate s...
INTRODUCTION: While various surgical techniques have been reported for open and minimally invasive treatment of upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC), the procedure of robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (NU) with bladder cuff has never been reported us...
Robot-assisted ureteral reimplantation (RAUR) is a relatively new minimally invasive procedure. As such, research is lacking, and the largest adult cohort studies include fewer than 30 patients. Our aim was to be the first population-based study to ...
Our article describes the anatomy, technical steps, common pitfalls, and our recommendations for performing a successful robotic lateral pelvic side wall dissection for rectal cancer. This is supplemented with videos and an image to clearly demonstra...
BACKGROUND: The number of scientific articles published each year is increasing, resulting in greater competition to get work published. Spin is defined as specific reporting strategies used to distort the readers' interpretation of results so that t...
BACKGROUND: Up to 37% of class three obesity patients have a Hiatal Hernia (HH). Most of the existent HHs get repaired at the time of bariatric surgery. Although the robotic platform might offer potential technical advantages over traditional laparos...
dHACM is a source of factors including cytokines that allow anti-inflammatory and proliferative elements to be utilized for wound and ulcer management. We present our experience of using dHACM in a cohort of patients undergoing nerve-sparing (NS) rob...
