BACKGROUND: Frontoorbital distraction osteogenesis (FODO) is an established surgical technique for patients with unicoronal craniosynostosis. The authors' institution has used an endoscope-assisted technique (endo-FODO) in recent years to decrease cu...
Diverticulitis is a prevalent gastrointestinal disease that often warrants surgical intervention. However, the optimal approach between traditional laparoscopy (LC) and robotic-assisted laparoscopy (RAC) for diverticulitis remains unclear. Our resear...
To compare the effectiveness of the Da Vinci Surgical Robot System (DSRS) "3 + 1" and "4 + 1" models for colorectal cancer (CRC). A total of 107 patients with CRC admitted to our hospital from February 2021 to May 2022 were selected for the retrospec...
