A comparison of surgical outcomes among robotic cases performed with an employed surgical assist versus a second surgeon as the assist.

Journal of robotic surgery
To examine whether utilizing an employed surgical first assistant or a physician as an assistant during gynecologic robotic cases affects surgical variables. A high volume gynecologic oncologist's robotic case data spanning fourteen years (2005-2018)...

Are Surgeons Working Smarter or Harder? A Systematic Review Comparing the Physical and Mental Demands of Robotic and Laparoscopic or Open Surgery.

World journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgical techniques such as robotic surgical platforms have provided favourable outcomes for patients, but the impact on surgeons is not well described. This systematic review aims to synthesize and evaluate the physica...

Assessing the learning curve associated with a novel flexible robot in the pre-clinical and clinical setting.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Transoral robotic surgery has been successfully used by head and neck surgeons for a variety of procedures but is limited by rigid instrumentation and line-of-sight visualization. Non-linear systems specifically designed for the aerodiges...

Radical prostatectomy technique in the robotic evolution: from da Vinci standard to single port-a single surgeon pathway.

Journal of robotic surgery
To describe perioperative outcomes following robot-assisted prostatectomy performed by a single surgeon during transitions between da Vinci standard/Si/Xi and the single port. Perioperative data were retrospectively evaluated of the first 40 consecut...

Autonomous Robot for Removing Superficial Traumatic Blood.

IEEE journal of translational engineering in health and medicine
: To remove blood from an incision and find the incision spot is a key task during surgery, or else over discharge of blood will endanger a patient's life. However, the repetitive manual blood removal involves plenty of workload contributing fatigue ...

Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy Using Single-port Perineal Approach: Technique and Single-surgeon Matched-paired Comparative Outcomes.

European urology
BACKGROUND: Radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP) has been revived with the advent of single-port (SP) robotic surgery. However, its interest and precise role need to be evaluated and better defined.

The surgical learning curve for salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a prospective single-surgeon study.

Minerva urology and nephrology
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to report the overall results and the learning curve (LC) in salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (sRARP) patients, in terms of morbidity, oncological and functional outcomes in a single surgeon tertiary-...

Laparoscopy & robotics: a historical parallel.

Revista do Colegio Brasileiro de Cirurgioes
The evolution of robotic platforms has brought up ethical, economic, educational, and clinical applicability issues that refer to the early 1990s, when laparoscopy began its dissemination as a technology that would revolutionize surgery. Introduced i...
