BACKGROUND/AIMS: Laparoscopic approaches are increasingly used in selected patients with either colorectal or liver disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopy-assisted combined colorectal and liver resect...
Radical cystectomy is the standard method for treatment of muscle-invasive and locally advanced bladder cancer. Several less invasive approaches have been suggested recently, including totally laparoscopic radical cystectomy and robotic cystectomy. H...

OBJECTIVE: To compare different techniques of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy and robotics) to abdominal surgery in order to identify the optimal surgical technique in the treatment of endometrial cancer.
BACKGROUND: A few studies have compared robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) with open pyeloplasty (OP) in children, but no previous study includes a long-term follow-up of renal function and hydronephrosis in combination with a thorough ...
BACKGROUND: The potential advantages of robot-assisted laparoscopy are being increasingly investigated, although data on its efficacy in benign colorectal surgery are scarce.
