PURPOSE: By integrating intraoperative near infrared fluorescence imaging into a robotic system, surgeons can identify the vascular anatomy in real-time with the technical advantages of robotics that is useful for meticulous lymphovascular dissection...
BACKGROUND: The adoption of robotic systems for gastric cancer surgery has been proven feasible and safe; however, a benefit over the laparoscopic approach has not yet been well-documented. We aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes of robotic ver...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: In cases of remnantgastric cancer (RGC) with previous lymphadenectomy, laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) is still uncommon because of the technical difficulties associated with adhesions from previous gastric cancer surgery and va...

INTRODUCTION: Pelvic lymphadenectomy is a key component of the surgical treatment of several gynecologic cancers and involves mastery of complex anatomic relationships. Our aim was to demonstrate that the anatomy relevant to robotic pelvic lymphadene...
Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract in developed countries and second to cervical cancer in India. Endometrial cancer predominately affects post menopausal women; however 15-25% of cases are diagnosed before m...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Robotic surgery is increasingly used for rectal cancer. We compared the short- and long-term outcomes between robotic- and laparoscopic-assisted resection for rectal cancer.
