Complications after surgery have a major impact on short- and long-term outcomes, and decades of technological advancement have not yet led to the eradication of their risk. The accurate prediction of complications, recently enhanced by the developme...
OBJECTIVE: To report the technique and preliminary results for extraperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic YV-plasty (RAYV) for refractory bladder neck stenosis (BNS) and vesicoureteral anastomosis stenosis (VUAS).
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive techniques have increasingly been adopted for liver resection. This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted liver resection (RALR) with laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) for liver cavernous ...
BACKGROUND: The incidence of colorectal cancer increases with aging. Curative-intent surgery based on a minimally invasive concept is expected to bring survival benefits to elderly patients (aged over 80 years) with colorectal cancer who are frequent...
BACKGROUND: Currently, little is known regarding the optimal technique for the abdominal phase of RAMIE. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) in both the abdominal and thoraci...

PURPOSE: Postoperative complication prediction helps surgeons to inform and manage patient expectations. Deep learning, a model that finds patterns in large samples of data, outperform traditional statistical methods in making predictions. This study...
INTRODUCTION: Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been launched in the last decade to examine the surgical safety and oncological efficacy of robot-assisted (RARC) vs open radical cystectomy (ORC) for patients with bladder cancer. The ai...
