BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the results of the quality assessment and the learning curve of robot-assisted minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy (RAMIE-MK).
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has become widely accepted, but its different underlying types of learning curves have not been comparatively analyzed to date. This study aimed to determine and compare the impact that the learni...
BACKGROUND: Most currently used surgical robots have no force feedback; the next generation displays forces visually. A novel single-port robotic surgical system called FLEXMIN has been developed. Through an outer diameter of 38 mm, two instruments a...
BACKGROUND: 5G communication technology has been applied to several fields in telemedicine, but its effectiveness, safety, and stability in remote laparoscopic telesurgery have not been established. Here, we conducted four ultra-remote laparoscopic s...
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) are commonly used techniques for treating small renal masses. Regarding renal function (RF) preservation, no superiority of one technique over the other has yet bee...
We sought to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent an open robotic ureteroneocystostomy for ureteral obstruction. Retrospective review was performed on adult patients who underwent primary ureteroneocystostomy for obstruction from January...
