BACKGROUND: Although the use of robotic-assisted surgery continues to expand, the cost-effectiveness of this platform remains unclear. The present study aimed to compare hospitalization costs and clinical outcomes between robotic-assisted surgery and...
In recent years, the adoption of 3D models for surgical planning and intraoperative guidance has gained a wide diffusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgeons' perception and usability of ICON3D platform for robotic and laparoscopic ur...
Octogenarians undergoing cystectomy experience higher morbidity and mortality compared to younger patients. Though the non-inferiority of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC) has been established in a gen...
The new SP robot incorporates a single trocar that houses a flexible camera and three bi-articulated arms, which minimize the number of incisions needed to assess the surgical site, allowing for a less invasive procedure. To compare the postoperative...
The influence of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) on patients who have previously undergone transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) versus TURP-naive patients is still debatable. The present study aimed to compare perioperative, fun...
BACKGROUND: Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) has been shown to lead to better outcomes regarding early continence compared to standard anterior RARP (SA-RARP). The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility and saf...

BACKGROUND: no data exist concerning functional and oncological outcomes of Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP), in patients previously treated with trans-urethral resection of the prostate (p-TURP), for benign prostate obs...
Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) for higher stages non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) remains controversial. This study reports the feasibility of RATS in patients with stages IIB-IVA NSCLC. A single-institute, retrospective study was conduc...
