OBJECTIVE: To summarize our initial experience with robot-assisted complete mesocolic excision (R-CME) using a domestically produced Chinese surgical robot by a short-term evaluation.
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has gained prominence since the da Vinci surgical system was introduced in 2000. RARP has now become a standard procedure for treating cases with localized prostate cancer. However, no study has...
BACKGROUND: Common colorectal procedures that require access to all quadrants of the abdomen are subtotal colectomy (STC) and total proctocolectomy (TPC). These are frequently performed with a surgical robot, but multiquadrant operations have unique ...

BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that the total operative time of robot myomectomy (RM) is shorter than that of laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) in cases where numerous myomas are removed, due to the faster suturing time of the robotic system. To verify this,...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic hiatal hernia repair offers potential advantages over traditional laparoscopy, most notably enhanced visualization, improved ergonomics, and articulating instruments. The clinical outcomes, however, have not been adequately eval...
