BACKGROUND: To evaluate the early functional and oncological outcomes of single-port robot-assisted perineal radical prostatectomy (sp-pRARP) using the da Vinci XI system and analyze its learning curve using the cumulative sum (CUSUM) method.
This study aimed to report a single surgeon's early experience and learning curves of single-incision robotic sacrocolpopexy on two different robotic surgical platforms, namely, the single-site approach on da Vinci Xi and single-port approach on da V...

PURPOSE: Evidence regarding the learning curve of robot-assisted total mesorectal excision is scarce and of low quality. Case-mix is mostly not taken into account, and learning curves are based on operative time, while preferably clinical outcomes an...
The new da VinciĀ® single-port (SP) robotic system, which utilizes a smaller incision and work space compared to the previous versions, is suitable for thyroidectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the learning curve for SP transaxillary robotic thyroid...
BACKGROUND: Robotic hepatectomy has gained increasing acceptance across the US. Although the robotic approach offers significant technical advantages, it is still bound by the individual surgeon's learning curve. Proficiency in this approach should t...

INTRODUCTION: The minimally invasive approach using robotic technology is fully incorporated in the treatment of adult pathologies. The first international pediatric studies with a robotic approach date from 2002, and in Spain, from 2009. We present ...
Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is a rapidly evolving surgical technique in Europe. The aim of the study was to analyse the learning curve and safety during the establishment of a RATS-program at a high-volume thoracic surgery centre and to qu...
