PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy of robot-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS) vs. laparoscopic-assisted colorectal surgery (LACS) in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC).
The aim of this study was to compare outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted colectomy in children. All children who underwent a colectomy with a laparoscopic (LapC) or robotic-assisted (RobC) approach in our institution (January 2010-March 202...

In children, gallbladder disease has become more common due to the rise in childhood obesity and subsequent shift in etiology. While the gold standard of surgical management remains a laparoscopic technique, there has been increasing interest in rob...
BACKGROUND: Identification of resections with high risk of intraoperative complications is critical in guiding case selection for minimally invasive liver surgery. Several Japanese and European difficulty scoring systems have been proposed for laparo...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery has been increasingly utilized, yet its application for hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) procedures remains low due to technical complexity, perceived financial burden, and unproven clinical benefits. We hypothesized that ...
BACKGROUND: Transaxillary gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy (TGET) is a widely performed operation, but its side view angle and instrument interference have caused concerns for most surgical groups. The aim of this study was to introduce scene-guided ...
