Synchronous robotic repair of anterior diaphragmatic (Morgagni) hernia & low anterior resection for rectal cancer.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: We present the case report of synchronous trans-fascial repair of a large congenital Morgagni hernia (MH) and low anterior resection using a fully robotic approach.

Cost analysis and cost-effectiveness of open versus laparoscopic versus robot-assisted versus transanal total mesorectal excision in patients with rectal cancer: a protocol for a systematic review.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Nowadays, most rectal tumours are treated open or minimally invasive, using laparoscopic, robot-assisted or transanal total mesorectal excision. However, insight into the total costs of these techniques is limited. Since all three techn...

Learning curves for minimally invasive total mesorectal excision beyond the competency phase - a risk-adjusted cumulative sum analysis of 1000 rectal resections.

Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland
AIM: The learning curve of total mesorectal excision (TME) by minimally invasive surgery (MIS) beyond the competency phase has not been adequately reported with large numbers or using a statistical control limit. The aim of this work was to study the...

Predictors of operative difficulty in robotic low anterior resection for rectal cancer.

Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland
AIM: This study evaluates the relationship of tumour and anatomical features with operative difficulty in robotic low anterior resection performed by four experienced surgeons in a high-volume colorectal cancer practice.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection with en bloc prostatectomy using the Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy technique.

Asian journal of endoscopic surgery
INTRODUCTION: The best surgical technique for rectal cancer invading the prostate remains controversial. Rectal resection with en bloc prostatectomy using a standard retropubic approach is an option but has disadvantages. We report a new surgical pro...

Early experience with the ARTISENTIAL articulated instruments in laparoscopic low anterior resection with TME.

Techniques in coloproctology
BACKGROUND: The notion of articulation in surgery has been largely synonymous with robotics. The ARTISENTIAL instruments aim at bringing advanced articulation to laparoscopy to overcome challenges in narrow anatomical spaces. In this paper, we presen...

Implementation of robot-assisted curative resection for rare anorectal tumours on the basis of individualised treatment.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
PURPOSE: To evaluate the validity of robot-assisted curative operation for rare anorectal tumours, characterised by biological heterogeneity and anatomical complexity.

Laparoscopic Versus Robot-Assisted Versus Transanal Low Anterior Resection: 3-Year Oncologic Results for a Population-Based Cohort in Experienced Centers.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic, robot-assisted, and transanal total mesorectal excision are the minimally invasive techniques used most for rectal cancer surgery. Because data regarding oncologic results are lacking, this study aimed to compare these three...
