OBJECTIVES: Data available on the effect of the recently developed Hood technique and its modified iterations in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy on postoperative urinary continence are insufficient. We evaluated the time to achieve urinary conti...
INTRODUCTION: Machine learning methods have emerged as objective tools to evaluate operative performance in urological procedures. Our objectives were to establish machine learning-based methods for predicting surgeon caseload for nerve-sparing robot...

BACKGROUND: Advocates of robot-assisted technique argue that robots could improve leg length restoration in total hip replacement. However, there were few studies to compare the robot-assisted posterior approach (RPA) with conventional posterior appr...
Robotics facilitates the realization of intra-corporeal anastomosis during right hemicolectomy and allows extracting the operative specimen through a C-section, offering potential benefits in terms of post-operative recovery and incidence of incision...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Objective of our work is to provide an update of the state of the art concerning Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) and to give a possible vision on the future developments of this new approach.
BACKGROUND: Robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM) has emerged as a new treatment option for breast cancer and risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM) for women who have a high risk of pathogenic variants. Even though several studies have reported that RNSM...
A 37-year-old man with Crohn's disease (CD) and a history of abdominal surgery was diagnosed with anal canal cancer. Robot-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection was performed and the patient was discharged without any postoperative complic...
