INTRODUCTION: To implement a mastery-based robotic surgery curriculum using virtual reality (VR) and inanimate reality (IR) drills at multiple Complex General Surgical Oncology (CGSO) fellowships.
BACKGROUND: The present study aimed to assess the lower invasiveness of robot-assisted transmediastinal radical esophagectomy by prospectively comparing this procedure with transthoracic esophagectomy in terms of perioperative outcomes, serum cytokin...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (IVR) on subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and its relationship with central macular thickness (CMT) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) changes in eyes with center-invol...
INTRODUCTION: In observational studies, increased water intake improves kidney function but not in adults with CKD stage 3 and more. CKD WIT trial has shown a nonsignificant gradual decline in kidney function after 1 year of coaching to increase wate...
BACKGROUND: Despite efforts aimed at preserving renal function, the functional decline after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is not negligible. To address the risk of intraparenchymal vessel injuries during renorrhaphy, with consequent loss...
No data exist concerning the appication of a new robotic system with 3 mm instruments (Senhance®, Transenterix) in infants and small children. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the system for its feasibility, performance and safety of robo...
CONTEXT: Men suspected of harboring prostate cancer (PCa) increasingly undergo multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and mpMRI-guided biopsy. The potential of mpMRI coupled to artificial intelligence (AI) methods to detect and classify P...
BACKGROUND: Lung auscultation is fundamental to the clinical diagnosis of respiratory disease. However, auscultation is a subjective practice and interpretations vary widely between users. The digitization of auscultation acquisition and interpretati...
Background Conventional radiologic modalities perform poorly in the radiated rectum and are often unable to differentiate residual cancer from treatment scarring. Purpose To report the development and initial patient study of an imaging system compri...
Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) is a technically challenging procedure and there has been limited reporting of its learning curve (LC), mostly by a single surgical working group. The aim of the current study was to perform an independen...
