Robotic Versus Thoracoscopic Sub-lobar Resection for Octogenarians with Clinical Stage IA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Propensity Score-Matched Real-World Study.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive sub-lobectomy is sufficient in treating small early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, comparison of the feasibility and oncologic efficacy between robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) and video-a...

Perioperative outcomes of open versus robot-assisted radical cystectomy in octogenarians: a population based analysis.

Journal of robotic surgery
Octogenarians undergoing cystectomy experience higher morbidity and mortality compared to younger patients. Though the non-inferiority of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC) has been established in a gen...

Robot-Assisted vs Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy in Octogenarians.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVE: With increasing age, there is greater need for right-sided colonic resections than its left-sided counterparts. Older age is associated with limited physical and functional status, which carries greater operative risk. Improvements in robo...

Efficacy and feasibility of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for octogenarians: comparison with younger counterparts.

Journal of robotic surgery
To compare short-term functional and surgical outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in patients ≥ 80 years old and their younger counterparts, we retrospectively analyzed 1234 patients who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy....
