PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Objective of our work is to provide an update of the state of the art concerning Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) and to give a possible vision on the future developments of this new approach.
INTRODUCTION: Highly complex renal masses pose a challenge to urologic surgeons' ability to perform robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN). Given the increased utilization of the robotic approach for small renal masses, we sought to characterize the outco...
Although retroperitoneal surgery has demonstrated a better quality of recovery compared to transperitoneal routes, Retroperitoneal Robot Assisted Partial Nephrectomy (RRAPN) remains proportionally infrequent. As the boundaries of what is achievable r...
INTRODUCTION: This study was performed to investigate the preoperative factors associated with difficulty achieving trifecta in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for clinical T1b renal cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND: Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) has been shown to lead to better outcomes regarding early continence compared to standard anterior RARP (SA-RARP). The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility and saf...

PURPOSE: The pathological diagnosis of surgically resected gastric cancer involves both a macroscopic diagnosis by gross observation and a microscopic diagnosis by microscopy. Macroscopic diagnosis determines the location and stage of the disease and...
BACKGROUND: In the advancement of transanal local excision, robot-assisted transanal minimal invasive surgery is the newest development. In the confined area of the rectum, robot-assisted surgery should, theoretically, be superior due to articulated ...
Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) has emerged as a surgical option for patients with prostatic cancer in high-volume centers. The objective is to assess oncological and functional outcomes when implementing RS-RARP in a m...
