The downtrending cost of robotic bariatric surgery: a cost analysis of 47,788 bariatric patients.

Journal of robotic surgery
The surgical robot is assumed to be a fixed, indirect cost. We hypothesized rising volume of robotic bariatric procedures would decrease cost per patient over time. Patients who underwent elective, initial gastric bypass (GB) or sleeve gastrectomy (S...

Patient-reported outcomes of mesh in minimally invasive (laparoscopic/robot-assisted) immediate subpectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction: a retrospective study.

Breast cancer (Tokyo, Japan)
BACKGROUND: Although there is increasing interest in minimally invasive prosthesis breast reconstruction (PBR), whether meshes application in minimally invasive PBR can improve complications and cosmetic effects remains controversial. The author retr...

Results of robotic liver surgery in association with IWATE criteria - the first 100 cases.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
BACKGROUND: Aim of the current study was to present the results of the implementation phase of a robotic liver surgery program and to assess the validity of the IWATE difficulty score in predicting difficulty and postoperative complications in roboti...

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic pheochromocytoma resection and construction of a nomogram to predict perioperative hemodynamic instability.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
BACKGROUND: Despite recent improvements in perioperative outcomes after pheochromocytoma resection, hemodynamic instability (HI) remained of high concern. The emergence of robot-assisted surgery may bring different results to pheochromocytoma surgery...

Robot-assisted abdominal surgery in children less than 5 months of age: retrospective cohort study.

International journal of surgery (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted surgery is increasingly used in children. While robot-assisted surgery in children has been proved to be safe and feasible, use in infants is controversial. The purpose of this study was to present a study of robot-assisted...

Outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic extended pelvic lymph node dissection for prostate Cancer.

BMC urology
INTRODUCTION: Extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) in men undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a widely used procedure. However, little is known about anatomical site-specific yields and subsequent metastati...

Transferability of the robot assisted and laparoscopic suturing learning curves.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot assisted surgery (RAS) is increasingly used, and besides conventional minimally invasive surgery (cMIS) surgeons are challenged to learn an increased array of skills. This study aimed to assess the influence of both learning curves on each othe...
