HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate the feasibility and the results of insertion of two types of electrode arrays in a robotically assisted surgical approach.
BACKGROUND: The adoption of robotic systems for gastric cancer surgery has been proven feasible and safe; however, a benefit over the laparoscopic approach has not yet been well-documented. We aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes of robotic ver...
BACKGROUND: Totally robotic gastric bypass (robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, R-RYGBP) has been adopted in some centers on the basis of large retrospective studies. In view of some data showing higher morbidity and higher costs, some authors have con...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Laparoscopic approaches are increasingly used in selected patients with either colorectal or liver disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopy-assisted combined colorectal and liver resect...

IMPORTANCE: Few studies have examined quality-of-life (QOL) outcomes in patients who undergo transoral robotic surgery (TORS) alone (ie, without adjuvant radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy).
INTRODUCTION: Sleeve gastrectomy has gained popularity over the past decade due to its safety, feasibility, and good results. The purpose of this study is to describe our results, both short and long term, with this procedure.
BACKGROUND/AIMS: In cases of remnantgastric cancer (RGC) with previous lymphadenectomy, laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) is still uncommon because of the technical difficulties associated with adhesions from previous gastric cancer surgery and va...
Transoral robotic-assisted lingual tonsillectomy seems to confirm good tolerability with efficient results in both adult and pediatric populations, and the complication rate is usually dependent on the specific procedure and not related to the use of...
