BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has been rapidly adopted as a standard approach for surgical treatment of organ-confined prostate cancer. Despite additional costs, RALP seems to provide better functional and oncol...
BACKGROUND: In recent years, small renal masses (SRM) have been increasingly detected as an incidental finding of radiological or ultrasound studies for other indications. Organ-sparing renal tumor resection as open partial nephrectomy (OPN) is the i...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive approaches to kidney transplantation (KT) have been described recently. However, information concerning perioperative management in these patients is lacking. Accordingly, in the current study, we describe our periopera...

BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted surgery has increased in popularity in recent years. Benefits have been observed for both the patient and hospital system as the technology shifts surgery from the open to the laparoscopic arena. Some of the advantages of...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to report on the feasibility of esophagojejunostomy reconstruction using a robot-sewing technique during a completely robotic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Robotic surgery is increasingly used for rectal cancer. We compared the short- and long-term outcomes between robotic- and laparoscopic-assisted resection for rectal cancer.
Osteoarthritis is a common disease that leads patients to seek total joint replacement (TJR). Component misalignment leads to failure of TJR. Computer navigation enhances the precision of component alignment, but the addition of robotic guidance can ...
