AIM: The debate about the oncological adequacy, safety and efficiency of robotic vs laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancers continues. Therefore, an updated, traditional and cumulative meta-analysis was performed with the aim of ass...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect of robot-assisted treatment of unstable pelvic fractures through a percutaneous iliac lumbar double rod fixation combined with a percutaneous pelvic anterior ring INFIX (internal fixator) fixation.
Although laparoscopic urachal excision in children has been well reported, there are limited data on a robot-assisted surgery (RAS) approach. The hidden incision endoscopic surgery (HIdES) technique is an established method of eliminating visible sc...

BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery is seen by many hospital administrators and surgeons as slower and more expensive than laparoscopic surgery despite the implementation of commonly held robotic best practices. Multiple factors, including surgeon learning c...
Many studies have shown the operative feasibility and safety of robotic thyroidectomy. However, there is still a concern on the operative invasiveness of robotic thyroidectomy owing to the wide flap dissection. The aim of this study was to introduce...

OBJECTIVES: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) for primary lung cancer has been spreading rapidly in Japan. While RATS has various technical advantages over video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), the quality of surgery from an oncologi...
BACKGROUND: Automatic surgical workflow recognition is a key component for developing the context-aware computer-assisted surgery (CA-CAS) systems. However, automatic surgical phase recognition focused on colorectal surgery has not been reported. We ...
