OBJECTIVE: To evaluate quality of life (QOL) after non-nerve-sparing, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and factors associated with worsened QOL.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: While MESS has historically influenced limb salvage versus amputation decisions, its universal applicability remains uncertain. With trauma systems expanding and advancements in trauma care, the need for a nuanced understanding of ...
OBJECTIVE: Transoral surgery (TOS) is a widely used treatment for laryngopharyngeal cancer. There are some difficult cases of setting the extent of resection in TOS, particularly in setting the vertical margins. However, positive vertical margins req...
Restoration of sensorimotor function after amputation has remained challenging because of the lack of human-machine interfaces that provide reliable control, feedback, and attachment. Here, we present the clinical implementation of a transradial neur...
BACKGROUND: Laryngopharyngeal cancer (LPC) includes laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer, whose early diagnosis can significantly improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients. Pathological biopsy of suspicious cancerous tissue under the guida...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the health-related quality of life and cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) versus conventional 'straight stick' laparoscopic surgery (CLS) in women undergoing hysterectomy as part of their treatment ...
