A positive surgical margin (PSM) is reported to have some connection to the occurrence of biochemical recurrence and tumor metastasis in prostate cancer after the operation. There are no clinically usable models and the study is to predict the probab...

BACKGROUND: Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is not yet universally accepted due to still limited functional data and some concerns on oncological safety compared to the standard one. We assessed perioperative, pathological...
Long-term oncologic data on patients undergoing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for non-metastatic bladder cancer (BCa) are limited. The purpose of this study is to describe long-term oncologic outcomes of patients receiving robotic radical ...
The oncological impact of positive surgical margins (PSM) after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is still under debate. We compared PSM and Negative Surgical Margins (NSM) in terms of recurrence-free survival (RFS), metastasis-free survival ...

BACKGROUND: Nerve-sparing (NS) techniques could potentially increase positive surgical margins after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Nevertheless, the available studies have revealed ambiguous results among distinct groups. This study pu...
Automated performance metrics (APMs), derived from instrument kinematic and systems events data during robotic surgery, are validated objective measures of surgeon performance. Our previous studies showed that APMs are strong outcome predictors of u...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of 3D models on positive surgical margin rate (PSM) rate in patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) compared to a no-3D control group. Secondarily, we evaluated the postoperative functional and...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between enlarged prostate, bulky median lobe (BML) or prior benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery and perioperative functional, and oncological outcomes in high-risk (HR) prostate cancer (PCa) patients tre...
BACKGROUND: The study aim was to report the results of Retzius-Sparing robot-assisted radical Prostatectomy (RSP) in high-risk prostate cancer (HR-PCa) patients in a multicentric setting of expert surgeons and to analyze predictors of positive surgic...
We report on the first clinical experience with the robotic-assisted extended "Sistrunk" approach (RESA) for access to constrained spaces of the upper aerodigestive tract. This prospective case cohort study include six patients that underwent RESA if...
