AIM: The learning curve has implications for efficient surgical training. Robotic surgery is perceived to have a shorter learning curve than laparoscopy; however, detailed analysis is lacking. The aim of this work was to analyse studies comparing rob...
The evolution of robotic technology and its diffusion does not seem to have been adequately accompanied by the development and implementation of surgeon training programs that ensure skilled and safe device use at the start of the learning curve. The...
BACKGROUND: Kidney autotransplantation is a useful technique to be reserved for cases in which kidney function is compromised by a complex anatomical configuration, such as long ureteral strictures and renal vascular anomalies not suitable for in sit...
BACKGROUND: During robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), the use of electrocautery near the neurovascular bundles (NVBs) frequently results in thermal injury to the cavernous nerves. The cut and "touch" monopolar cautery technique has been s...
Objective skill assessment-based personal performance feedback is a vital part of surgical training. Either kinematic-acquired through surgical robotic systems, mounted sensors on tooltips or wearable sensors-or visual input data can be employed to p...
A 69-year-old man was referred to the hepatobiliary surgeons for mild enlargement of an asymptomatic cystic liver lesion found on routine screening in 2017 that measured 3.7×3.6×4.3 cm. Work-up with MRI revealed a complex multilocular cyst that had e...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Surgeons should aim for continuous quality improvement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of incremental changes to Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) technique on intra-operative and early post-op...
OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to present the surgical technique of robotic radical trachelectomy (RRT) for early-stage squamous cell cervical cancer in women with a desire to preserve fertility.
