BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted rectal resections are said to overcome the known difficulties of laparoscopic rectal surgery through technical advantages, leading to better treatment results; however, published studies reported very heterogeneous results....
In this study, an inter-fraction organ deformation simulation framework for the locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), which considers the anatomical flexibility, rigidity, and motion within an image deformation, was proposed. Data included 57 CT s...
An 85-year-old woman presented with a stomachache after a meal and was admitted to the previous clinic. Multi-detector computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed wall thickening in the rectum and right ectopic pelvic kidney. Colonoscopy revealed ...
Transanal excision of benign lesions, moderately or well-differentiated rectal T1 adenocarcinomas is typically completed via transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) or laparoscopic transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS). Robotic platforms provi...
BACKGROUND: Most studies comparing robotic and laparoscopic surgery, show little difference in clinical outcomes to justify the expense. We systematically reviewed and pooled evidence from studies comparing robotic and laparoscopic rectal resection.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) belongs to the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) family, which is mainly caused by inflammation of the tissue in the colon and rectum. The severity of this infection can radically affect the patient's overall well-being. Althou...
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...
