Performance of trunk rehabilitation exercises while sitting on movable surfaces with feet on the ground can increase trunk and leg muscle activations, and constraining the feet to move with the seat isolates control of the trunk. However, there are n...
PURPOSE: Single-port (SP) robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) through the transvesical approach is a novel surgical option in the management of large prostatic glands. We present the first multi-institutional study to further assess the peri...

INTRODUCTION: Pelvic fracture is a severe high-energy injury with the highest disability and mortality of all fractures. Traditional open surgery is associated with extensive soft tissue damages and many complications. Minimally invasive surgery pote...
BACKGROUND: Optimal treatment approaches for high-risk localized and locally advanced prostate cancer remain controversial and there are currently no standard treatments. These patients with high-risk localized and locally advanced prostate cancer ar...
Minimally invasive resection techniques for the treatment of various pathologies of the pancreas are potentially advantageous for the treated patients in terms of restitution time and postoperative morbidity, but are a technical challenge for the res...
BACKGROUND: During robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), renal artery clamping is necessary to optimize the surgical field. However, renal artery clamping can induce renal blood flow reduction and postoperative renal dysfunction. Papaverine is u...
The uptake of robotic surgery is rapidly increasing worldwide across surgical specialties. However, there is currently a much higher use of robotic surgery in the United States of America (USA) compared to the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland. Reduced...
Event-driven intermittent feedback control is a form of feedback control in which the corrective control action is only initiated intermittently when the variables of interest exceed certain threshold criteria. It has been reported in the literature ...
