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...
BACKGROUND: The KangDuo surgical robot (KD-SR-01) was recently developed in China. This study aims to evaluate the short-term outcomes of KD-SR-01 for colorectal cancer surgery.
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
