PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Urinary incontinence is common postoperative complication following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). Despite the increasing adoption of RARP in the treatment of high-risk PCa (HRPC...
BACKGROUND: The robot-assisted approach is now often used for rectal cancer surgery, but its use in colon cancer surgery is less well defined. This study aims to compare the outcomes of robotic-assisted colon cancer surgery to conventional laparoscop...

Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) is a well-established surgical option for the management of overactive bladder where conservative management has failed. We describe the case of a man in his 50s with chronic bladder dysfunction secondary to refractory d...
Up to now bio-inspired fish-mimicking robots fail when competing with the swimming performance of real fish. While tail motion has been studied extensively, the influence of the head motion is still not fully understood and its active control is chal...
There has been an increasing demand for robotic coil positioning during repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment. Accurate coil positioning is crucial because rTMS generally targets specific brain regions for both research and cl...
The novel technique of lateral pelvic fascia preservation (LPFP) in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been reported to improve urinary continence recovery. We aimed to investigate surgical and oncological outcomes after RARP using the L...
BACKGROUND: In addition to ensuring cancer control, prevention of incontinence which significantly impact patients' quality of life, is also an important issue in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) operations. In this study, we aimed to find...
Percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA), which includes percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). Robot-assisted (RA) and fluoroscopy-assisted (FA) are important methods for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fr...
Image-guided assessment of bile ducts and associated anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be achieved with intra-operative cholangiography (IOC) or laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS). Rates of robotically assisted cholecystectomy (RC) are incre...
BACKGROUND: In the field of robotic surgery, there is a lack of comparative evidence on surgical and functional outcomes of different robotic platforms.
