BACKGROUND: Costs and a low total number of cases may be obstacles to the successful implementation of a paediatric robotic surgery programme. The aim of this study was to evaluate a decade of paediatric robotic surgery and to reflect upon factors fo...
Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) exhibits better postoperative urinary continence than conventional RARP (C-RARP) via the anterior approach. However, the reasons behind this are unknown. Herein, early postoperative urina...
PURPOSE: This study compared proximal and distal embolization of the splenic artery (SA) in patients with splenic artery steal syndrome (SAS) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) regarding post interventional changes of liver function to iden...
The aim of this systematic review is to assess the robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) learning curve (LC), which is important to consider in both risk-benefit assessment and training. We performed a systematic literature search using two data...
BACKGROUND: An Ommaya reservoir can be used to treat posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus secondary to intraventricular hemorrhage of prematurity until an acceptable weight can be obtained to place a permanent shunt. Identifying newborns at higher risk of d...
