BACKGROUND: da Vinci robot-assisted axillary lymph node dissection (dVALND) can be a minimally invasive technique to minimize post-operative complications.
OBJECTIVES: To assess treatment response (PSA < 0.2 ng/ml), need for additional therapy and complication rate after robot assisted salvage pelvic lymph node dissection (sPLND).
BACKGROUND: We developed a novel suprapubic single-port robotic right hemicolectomy (spRHC) procedure for patients with right colon cancer using a da Vinci SP Surgical System. The aim of this study was to determine the safety and feasibility of this ...
The surgical instruments used in robot-assisted thoracic surgery are flexible to enable the surgeon to approach the surgical field from any direction. However even in robot-assisted thoracic surgery subcarinal lymph node dissection requires a precise...

We aim to directly compare the feasibility and safety of extended pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) during transperitoneal robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (Tp-RARP) and extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (Ep-LRP). We retros...
Our objective was to establish the incidence of positive surgical margins, recurrence patterns, and recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in a large cohort of patients undergoing robotic (robot-assisted radical cystectomy [RARC]) and open ...
