OBJECTIVE: To provide the first clinical validation of the European Association of Urology Robotic Urology Section (ERUS) curriculum for training in robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion (iRARC).
BACKGROUND: Difficulty scoring systems are important for the safe, stepwise implementation of new procedures. We designed a retrospective observational study for building a difficulty score for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy.
Octogenarians undergoing cystectomy experience higher morbidity and mortality compared to younger patients. Though the non-inferiority of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC) has been established in a gen...
Limited data are available on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing robotic total pancreatectomy (RTP). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the postoperative outcomes of RTP and open total pancreatectomy (OTP). We perfor...
This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) compared with open partial nephrectomy (OPN) in the management of complex renal tumors (defined as RENAL score ≥ 7). We conducted a comprehensive literatur...
OBJECTIVES: Minimally invasive and remote surgical approaches for thyroid tumors have been developed primarily for cosmetic benefit. However, conventional meta-analysis could not provide comparative data between new techniques. This network meta-anal...

OBJECTIVES: Postoperative inguinal hernia (IH) is one of the most common complications of radical prostatectomy (RP) including robot-assisted RP (RARP). However, a procedure to prevent IH after RARP has not been established. We investigated the impac...
BACKGROUND: Patients with multiple ipsilateral renal masses have an augmented risk of metachronous contralateral lesions and are likely to undergo repeated surgeries. We report our experience with the technologies currently available and the surgical...
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...
