PURPOSE: Contemporary adherence of the indication to European Association of Urology (EAU) guideline recommendation for pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) at either open (ORP) or robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) at a high-volume center is...
BACKGROUND: Open transthoracic esophagectomy is the worldwide gold standard in the treatment of resectable esophageal cancer. Robot-assisted minimally invasive thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy (RAMIE) for esophageal cancer may be associated with re...
BACKGROUND: Retropharyngeal metastases are uncommon but a well-known location for regional spread of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC). Surgeon-performed, trans-oral ultrasound (SP-TO-US) and trans-oral robot-assisted surgical (TORS) excis...

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate a surgical video wherein an incidental external iliac vein injury was encountered and repaired robotically during a pelvic lymphadenectomy procedure.
PURPOSE: Limited data are available regarding the oncologic efficacy of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) performed during robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) for prostate cancer. We aimed to determine the frequency of pelvic lymph n...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has emerged as a treatment of choice for early-stage gastric cancer. However, applying MIS to gastric patients with high body mass index (BMI) is technically challenging, especially when performing D2 lymp...
