Prehabilitation programs play a key role in optimizing patient experiences and outcomes after surgery. However, there are few data on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, and prehabilitation programs may be challenging to launch and maintain over ti...
INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the safety and short-term outcomes of robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal repair for inguinal hernia in 12 pioneering hospitals in Japan.
The potential benefits and limitations of benign hysterectomy surgical approaches are still debated. We aimed at evaluating any differences with a systematic review and meta-analysis. PubMed, MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases were last searched on 6/2/20...

Spinal fixation with rigid pedicle screws have shown to be an effective treatment for many patients. However, this surgical option has been proved to be insufficient and will eventually fail for patients experiencing osteoporosis. This failure is mai...
PURPOSE: Aim of the present study was to develop and validate a nomogram to accurately predict the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) upstaging at 3 years in patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) is considered a standard treatment for clinical stage I gastric cancer. Nevertheless, LG has some drawbacks, such as motion restriction and difficulties in spatial perception. Robot-assisted gastrectomy (RG) ...
BACKGROUND: Currently, only a limited number of remote assistance modalities are utilized in the basic phase of robotic surgery training to facilitate the rapid acquisition of robotic surgery skills by surgeons. This study aimed to investigate the be...
Intravenous indocyanine green (IV ICG) is regarded as a safe immunofluorescence agent used to assess bowel perfusion prior to creating bowel anastomoses and aids in ureter identification during intra-abdominal surgery. We report the first instance of...
