To investigate validity evidence for a simulator-based test in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The test consisted of three modules on the RobotiX Mentor VR-simulator: and . Validity evidence was investigated by using Messick's framewo...
Robotic-assisted technology has shown to be promising in coronary and peripheral vascular interventions. Early case reports have also demonstrated its efficacy in neuro-interventions. However, there is no prior report demonstrating use of the robotic...
BACKGROUND: Robotic prostatectomy is a costly new technology, but the costs may be offset by changes in treatment patterns. The net effect of this technology on Medicaid spending has not been assessed.
Studies regarding the influence of diabetes on perioperative outcomes after major hepatectomy are conflicting. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of diabetes on patients undergoing robotic major hepatectomy. With Institutional Revi...
Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is an emerging albeit complex technique to treat rectal cancer. The aim of this proof-of-concept preclinical study was to determine the technical feasibility of robotic taTME using the da Vinci SP (SP). Two...
After their first introduction in the 1990s to overcome the limitations of conventional laparoscopic surgery, especially in confined spaces such as the pelvis, telemanipulators (i.e., master-slave manipulators) have gained popularity and acceptance a...

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of peritoneal re-approximation or non-approximation on the postoperative course of patients at the end of transperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (tRARP). It is also aimed to examine the rel...
BACKGROUND: There continues to be an interest in minimally invasive approaches to pancreatic surgery. At our institution, there has been a progressive change from an open to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) (laparoscopic, robotic, or laparoscopic-rob...
Patients with stroke can experience a drastic change in their body representation (BR), beyond the physical and psychological consequences of stroke itself. Noteworthy, the misperception of BR could affect patients' motor performance even more. Our s...
