Renal cell carcinoma is among major causes of death in patients with Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, and it usually presents with multiple and bilateral lesions that may require multiple renal surgeries. This, in turn, may compromise renal function...
Complex urinary tract reconstruction has significantly advanced with the increasing use of robot-assisted procedures. Robotic surgery aims to achieve the same outcomes as open surgery while minimizing morbidity by causing less blood loss, faster post...
Although robotic telesurgery is growing in popularity, the benefits of telesurgery compared to local surgery are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of robotic tele-cholecystectomy with a commercial line using the Saroa (Riverfield,...
BACKGROUND: The clinical impact of prolonged steep Trendelenburg position and CO pneumoperitoneum during robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RC) on intraoperative conditions and immediate postoperative recovery remains to be assessed. The current stud...

Tissue examination by hand remains an essential technique in clinical practice. The effective application depends on skills in sensorimotor coordination, mainly involving haptic, visual, and auditory feedback. The skills clinicians have to learn can ...
Robot-assisted surgery is likely to become the new standard of care for functional urology and neurourology. It has the potential to fill the gap that has prevented the spread of laparoscopic surgery in these fields. With its many technical advantage...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic transabdominal peritoneal repair (TAPP) for unilateral inguinal hernia.
The proposed video-vignette represents a later step towards a truly robotically surgical approach, that combines oncological radicality and preservation of optimal blood flow during a sigmoidectomy for cancer. This totally robotic vessel-sparing appr...
