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...
To compare short- and midterm outcomes of the first 55 patients undergoing robot-assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) with patients undergoing open kidney transplant (OKT) during the same period in a tertiary care hospital. Data of all end-stage renal...
BACKGROUND: The da Vinci Single-Port (SP) robot is a novel platform designed to facilitate single-incision robotic surgery (rSILS). The objective of this study was to describe our initial experience using this platform for SP robotic (SPr) right cole...

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...
