BACKGROUND: Retroperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy is markedly restricted by limited space and visual field. We introduced a novel Gerota-edge-sling (GES) technique with self-designed traction devices to overcome these defects by attaching Gerot...
INTRODUCTION: The transition from laparoscopic to robot-assisted procedures leads to potential increase in operative times and health care costs. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis can objectively study the learning curve to detect significant changes i...

PURPOSE: We investigated operative time according to procedure phases in robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and identify variables associated with longer operative time in each procedure phase.
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has become a popular technology. Studies have investigated the learning curve for surgeons incorporating RA-TKA into practice, but less is known regarding the change in operative efficiency ...

Intestinal duplication is the most common type of alimentary tract duplications in childhood. Laparoscopic-assisted surgery has become the main surgical procedure, but robot-assisted resection has rarely been reported; the aim of this study was to r...

BACKGROUND: Bone regeneration in the greater omentum is a promising strategy in facial skeleton reconstruction. This feasibility-study aims to perform robot-assisted scaffold implantation and second-stage flap raising.
INTRODUCTION: There is lack of evidence on the impact of surgeons' learning curve on postoperative outcomes after open (OKT) or minimally-invasive (robot-assisted) kidney transplantation (RAKT). The aim of the review was to assess the learning curve ...
