BACKGROUND: To report the surgical techniques and results of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal Mainz Ⅱ rectosigmoid pouch at our centre.
BACKGROUND: The technical difficulty and steep learning curve of transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) has limited widespread adoption. The single-port (SP) daVinci robot is designed to facilitate single-incision and natural-orifice translumina...
BACKGROUND: Multiple structures in the anorectal area are closely related to defecation, voiding and sexual function. Although laparoscopic-assisted anorectal pull-through is widely accepted as a minimally invasive surgical technique, controversy sti...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgical technology has been widely introduced and applied in various fields of surgery. The aim of this study was to analyze long-term oncological and urogenital functional outcomes following laparoscopic/robotic total mesorect...
