Robotic proctectomy for rectal cancer: analysis of 71 patients from a single institution.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Despite increasing use of robotic surgery for rectal cancer, few series have been published from the practice of generalizable US surgeons.

Robot-assisted intersphincteric resection facilitates an efficient sphincter-saving in patients with low rectal cancer.

International journal of colorectal disease
PURPOSE: Few investigations of robot-assisted intersphincteric resection (ISR) are presently available to support this procedure as a safe and efficient procedure. We aimed to evaluate the utility of robot-assisted ISR by comparison between ISR and a...

Photon Optimizer (PO) prevails over Progressive Resolution Optimizer (PRO) for VMAT planning with or without knowledge-based solution.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
The enhanced dosimetric performance of knowledge-based volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning might be jointly contributed by the patient-specific optimization objectives, as estimated by the RapidPlan model, and by the potentially improved...

Urogenital function in robotic vs laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery: a comparative study.

International journal of colorectal disease
PURPOSE: Urological and sexual dysfunction are recognised risks of rectal cancer surgery; however, there is limited evidence regarding urogenital function comparing robotic to laparoscopic techniques. The aim of this study was to assess the urogenita...

Learning curve in robotic rectal cancer surgery: current state of affairs.

International journal of colorectal disease
INTRODUCTION: Robotic-assisted rectal cancer surgery offers multiple advantages for surgeons, and it seems to yield the same clinical outcomes as regards the short-time follow-up of patients compared to conventional laparoscopy. This surgical approac...

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic surgery for lower rectal cancer: the impact of visceral obesity on surgical outcomes.

International journal of colorectal disease
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the advantages of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for lower rectal cancer and for visceral obesity cases, which have been regarded as challenging situations in rectal cancer surgery, compa...

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic rectal resection for cancer in a single surgeon's experience: a cost analysis covering the initial 50 robotic cases with the da Vinci Si.

International journal of colorectal disease
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to compare surgical parameters and the costs of robotic surgery with those of laparoscopic approach in rectal cancer based on a single surgeon's early robotic experience.

Hartmann's procedure vs abdominoperineal resection with intersphincteric dissection in patients with rectal cancer: a randomized multicentre trial (HAPIrect).

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: The use of Hartmann's procedure in the old and frail and/or in patients with fecal incontinence is increasing, even though some data have reported high postoperative rates of pelvic abscesses. Abdominoperineal excision with intersphincter...

Comparative analysis focusing on surgical and early oncological outcomes of open, laparoscopy-assisted, and robot-assisted approaches in rectal cancer patients.

International journal of colorectal disease
PURPOSE: Because there are few comparative studies of open, laparoscopy-assisted (LA), and robot-assisted (RA) total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer, we aimed to compare these three procedures in terms of sphincter-saving operation (SSO) ...

Short- and mid-term outcomes of robotic-assisted total mesorectal excision for the treatment of rectal cancer. Our experience after 198 consecutive cases.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted total mesorectal excision is a safe alternative for rectal cancer treatment. Nevertheless, substantial data is still missing. Our aim was to assess the perioperative and oncological outcomes of the routine use of the roboti...
