Robotic versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy in elderly patients: a propensity score-matched analysis.

HPB : the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association
BACKGROUND: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is complex procedure with high morbidity in the elderly. This retrospective study aimed to compare post-operative outcomes in patients ≥75 years of age who underwent robot-assisted (RA)PD and open PD.

Using Tree-Based Machine Learning for Health Studies: Literature Review and Case Series.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Tree-based machine learning methods have gained traction in the statistical and data science fields. They have been shown to provide better solutions to various research questions than traditional analysis approaches. To encourage the uptake of tree-...

Short-term outcomes of robot-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for mid and low rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Journal of robotic surgery
The benefits of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for rectal cancer remain controversial. Only a few studies have evaluated the safety and feasibility of RALS following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT). This study aimed to compare the sh...

A propensity score matching study on robot-assisted radical cystectomy for older patients: comparison of intracorporeal ileal conduit and cutaneous ureterostomy.

BMC urology
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and intracorporeal urinary diversion are less invasive than conventional procedures. However, for older patients, cutaneous ureterostomy (CUS) may be preferred because urinary diversion using the i...

A propensity score matching study of totally robotic right hemicolectomy versus robot-assisted right hemicolectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
To compare and analyze the differences in safety, feasibility and short-term efficacy between robot-assisted right hemicolectomy (RARH) and totally robotic right hemicolectomy (TRRH). We collected the information of 184 patients who underwent right h...

Robotic Esophagectomy Compared With Open Esophagectomy Reduces Sarcopenia within the First Postoperative Year: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.

Journal of thoracic oncology : official publication of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer
INTRODUCTION: Sarcopenia is a known risk factor for adverse outcomes after esophageal cancer (EC) surgery. Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) offers numerous advantages, including reduced morbidity and mortality. However, no evid...

Clinical significance of limited and extended pelvic lymph node dissection during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for patients with localized prostate cancer: A retrospective, propensity score matching analysis.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
OBJECTIVES: We investigated the diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of limited or extended pelvic lymph node dissection during a robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer.

Robot-assisted vs laparoscopic lateral transabdominal adrenalectomy: a propensity score matching analysis.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is the gold standard treatment for adrenal lesions. Robot-assisted adrenalectomy (RAA) is a safe approach, associated with higher costs in absence of clear-cut benefits. Several series reported some advanta...

Association between phthalate exposure and accelerated bone maturation in Chinese girls with early puberty onset: a propensity score-matched case-control analysis.

Scientific reports
Estrogen can promote the acceleration of bone maturation and phthalate esters (PAEs) have estrogen-mimicking effects. We investigated whether PAEs are associated with the acceleration of bone age (BA) in girls with early onset of puberty (EOP). This ...

Robot-assisted transthoracic hybrid esophagectomy versus open and laparoscopic hybrid esophagectomy: propensity score matched analysis of short-term outcome.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
PURPOSE: Minimally invasive en-bloc esophagectomy is associated with a reduction of postoperative morbidity. This was demonstrated for both total minimally invasive and hybrid esophagectomy. However, little is known about any benefits of robotic assi...
