Total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer with emphasis on pelvic autonomic nerve preservation: Expert technical tips for robotic surgery.

Surgical oncology
The primary goal of surgical intervention for rectal cancer is to achieve an oncologic cure while preserving function. Since the introduction of total mesorectal excision (TME), the oncologic outcome has improved greatly in terms of local recurrence ...

Evaluation of a knowledge-based planning solution for head and neck cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Automated and knowledge-based planning techniques aim to reduce variations in plan quality. RapidPlan uses a library consisting of different patient plans to make a model that can predict achievable dose-volume histograms (DVHs) for new pati...

Comparison of Surgical Outcomes of Robot-Assisted and Laparoscopy-Assisted Pylorus-Preserving Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: The three-dimensional view and articulating devices in robot system might have a benefit performing the delicate procedure of pylorus-preserving gastrectomy. This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and safety of robot-assiste...

[Preoperative anal function assessment in sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer: clinical significance and strategies].

Zhonghua wei chang wai ke za zhi = Chinese journal of gastrointestinal surgery
Sphincter-preserving surgery has become the mainstream approach for mid-to-low rectal cancer, yet postoperative anal dysfunction (low anterior resection syndrome, LARS) occurs in 30%-50% of patients, significantly impacting quality of life. This revi...

Knowledge-Based Planning for Intact Cervical Cancer.

Seminars in radiation oncology
Cervical cancer radiotherapy is often complicated by significant variability in the quality and consistency of treatment plans. Knowledge-based planning (KBP), which utilizes prior patient data to correlated achievable optimal dosimetry with patient-...

3D-printed models and virtual reality as new tools for image-guided robot-assisted nephron-sparing surgery: a systematic review of the newest evidences.

Current opinion in urology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Nowadays, kidney cancer surgery has been focusing on a patient-tailored management, expanding the indication to nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). Starting from computer tomography images, 3D models can be created, allowing a never exp...

Pentafecta Outcomes of 230 Cases of Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy with Bilateral Neurovascular Bundle Preservation.

Anticancer research
AIM: We analyzed pentafecta outcomes [complication-free, continence, potency, negative surgical margins (NSM)], biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free] of 230 patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with bilateral neurovascular (...
