BACKGROUND: The robot-assisted cholecystectomy could provide a sufficient surgical field with the extremely low-pressure pneumoperitoneum (ELPP; 4 mmHg) by the robot arm lifting the abdominal wall upward. This study aimed to investigate the effect of...
We sought to describe the development of the robotic urology program at Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) and the feasibility of transitioning from the da Vinci to Versius robotic systems. The SIUT robotics program began in 2017 u...
OBJECTIVES: To analyse the risk of uretero-enteric anastomotic stricture in patients randomised to open (ORC) or robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with extracorporeal urinary diversion.
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the robot surgical system begins to be applied in single-anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S). However, only a few studies with very small sample size are present on robotic SADI-S.
Machine-learning based risk prediction models have the potential to improve patient outcomes by assessing risk more accurately than clinicians. Significant additional value lies in these models providing feedback about the factors that amplify an ind...
BACKGROUND: The standard treatment of rectal carcinoma is surgical resection according to the total mesorectal excision principle, either by open, laparoscopic, robot-assisted or transanal technique. No clear consensus exists regarding the length of ...

OBJECTIVE: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a frequently reported complication. In this study we aimed to determine the oxygen delivery indexed to body surface area (Doi) threshold associa...
OBJECTIVE: To assess suitability of Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) vs. Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) to capture 30-day morbidity after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC).

OBJECTIVE: To define the conversion risk to open procedure during robot-assisted thyroid surgery (RATS) identifying potential specific subclasses of procedures or accesses at higher conversion risk.
BACKGROUND: As patients tend to be diagnosed with breast cancer at an early stage, the demand for better cosmetic outcomes has increased. Several studies revealed that robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM) shows favorable outcomes. The aim ...
