Robot-assisted intersphincteric resection facilitates an efficient sphincter-saving in patients with low rectal cancer.

International journal of colorectal disease
PURPOSE: Few investigations of robot-assisted intersphincteric resection (ISR) are presently available to support this procedure as a safe and efficient procedure. We aimed to evaluate the utility of robot-assisted ISR by comparison between ISR and a...

Patterns of Recurrence After Postprostatectomy Fossa Radiation Therapy Identified by C-11 Choline Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: To evaluate C-11 choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CholPET) in staging and determining patterns of recurrence in prostate cancer patients with rising prostate-specific antigen levels after prostatectomy radiation ther...

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic surgery for lower rectal cancer: the impact of visceral obesity on surgical outcomes.

International journal of colorectal disease
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the advantages of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for lower rectal cancer and for visceral obesity cases, which have been regarded as challenging situations in rectal cancer surgery, compa...

Temporal changes in plasma markers of oxidative stress following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in subjects with impaired glucose regulation.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective treatment for obesity and associated metabolic complications. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with increased oxidative stress. Previous studies have examined changes in plas...

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic rectal resection for cancer in a single surgeon's experience: a cost analysis covering the initial 50 robotic cases with the da Vinci Si.

International journal of colorectal disease
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to compare surgical parameters and the costs of robotic surgery with those of laparoscopic approach in rectal cancer based on a single surgeon's early robotic experience.

Comparative analysis focusing on surgical and early oncological outcomes of open, laparoscopy-assisted, and robot-assisted approaches in rectal cancer patients.

International journal of colorectal disease
PURPOSE: Because there are few comparative studies of open, laparoscopy-assisted (LA), and robot-assisted (RA) total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer, we aimed to compare these three procedures in terms of sphincter-saving operation (SSO) ...

Totally robotic rectal resection: an experience of the first 100 consecutive cases.

International journal of colorectal disease
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery provides an alternative option for a minimal access approach. It provides a stable platform with high definition three-dimensional views and improved access, which enhances the capabilities for precise dissection in a na...

Long-term clinical and functional impact of biliopancreatic diversion on type 2 diabetes in morbidly and non-morbidly obese patients.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
SETTING: Obesity surgery has been proposed as a treatment option for diabetic patients with body mass index (BMI)<35 kg/m(2), but the efficacy of metabolic surgery has not been conclusively determined.

Image Guided Hypofractionated Postprostatectomy Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT) has promising long-term biochemical relapse-free survival (bRFS) with comparable toxicity for definitive treatment of prostate cancer. However, data reporting outcomes after adjuvant and salvage postpr...
