INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Urosymphyseal fistula (UF) with osteomyelitis most commonly occurs as a result of prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia therapy. UF presentation typically includes debilitating pelvic pain exacerbated with ambula...
BACKGROUND: With the development of minimally invasive surgery technology, patients with bladder cancer are increasingly receiving laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) or robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) treatment. The main purpose of this...
BACKGROUND: Focal therapy (FT) for prostate cancer is less invasive than radical treatment but carries a risk of recurrence. Salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (S-RARP) is a possible option after FT failure.
BACKGROUND: The initial phases of robotic surgical skills acquisition are associated with poor technical performance, such as low knot-tensile strength (KTS). Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) can improve force and accuracy in motor task...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted surgery is increasingly adopted in colorectal surgery. However, evidence for the implementation of robot-assisted surgery for colon cancer is sparse. This study aims to evaluate the short-term outcomes of robot-assisted col...

The main purpose of this manuscript is to present a novel idea on the -rung orthopair fuzzy rough set (-ROFRS) by the hybridized notion of -ROFRSs and rough sets (RSs) and discuss its basic operations. Furthermore, by utilizing the developed concept,...
This study aims to compare perioperative and oncologic outcomes between matched cohorts of localized prostate cancer (PCa) operated on by the same surgeon using the da Vinci Si robot and the Revo-i robot. Nonmetastatic PCa patients undergoing Retzi...
BACKGROUND: Elucidating how robotic skills are best obtained will enable surgeons to best develop future robotic training programs. We perform a randomized controlled trial to assess the performance of robotic compared to laparoscopic surgery, transf...
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted surgery is increasing and there is a need for a structured and evidence-based curriculum to learn basic robotic competencies. Relevant training tasks, eligible trainees, realistic learning goals, and suitable training met...
