BACKGROUND: We investigated the effect of the extent of pelvic lymph node dissection (LND) on biochemical recurrence (BCR) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) without lymph node involvement (LNI) treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (...
Robot-assisted total gastrectomy for gastric cancer is a demanding operation that is increasingly being performed, not only in Asia but also in specialised centres in Europe. The minimally invasive resection - and above all the lymphadenectomy and th...
Our article describes the anatomy, technical steps, common pitfalls, and our recommendations for performing a successful robotic lateral pelvic side wall dissection for rectal cancer. This is supplemented with videos and an image to clearly demonstra...
A 79-year-old male former smoker presented with a T4 (>7 cm) adenocarcinoma of the right upper lobe. The patient was staged at clinical T4N0M0 and underwent robot-assisted right upper lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection. The patient was d...

To evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI), preoperative risk classification, previous inguinal herniotomy, and abdominal operations on several steps of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and lymph node (LN) involvement. A total numbe...
OBJECTIVE: Inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) is an essential component in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of penile cancer. Recent advances in minimally invasive surgery may play an important role in decreasing the adverse effects and co...
BACKGROUND: The safety and feasibility of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes of RAMIE with extended lymphadenectomy and conventional minimally invasive ...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of robotic technology on the learning curve for robot-assisted gastrectomy in the initial clinical application stage and to compare RAG with laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy using a short-term evaluation.
