OBJECTIVES: The study objectives were to evaluate the association between preoperative heart failure and reoperative cardiac surgical outcomes in adult congenital heart disease and to develop a risk model for postoperative morbidity/mortality.
Diverticulitis is a prevalent gastrointestinal disease that often warrants surgical intervention. However, the optimal approach between traditional laparoscopy (LC) and robotic-assisted laparoscopy (RAC) for diverticulitis remains unclear. Our resear...
To compare the effectiveness of the Da Vinci Surgical Robot System (DSRS) "3 + 1" and "4 + 1" models for colorectal cancer (CRC). A total of 107 patients with CRC admitted to our hospital from February 2021 to May 2022 were selected for the retrospec...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of tele-robotic distal gastrectomy (tele-RDG) with lymph node dissection (LND) using a novel Japanese-made surgical robot hinotori™ (Medicaroid, Kobe, Japan) in a cadaver with a presumptive gas...
INTRODUCTION: Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is a difficult cancer to treat with frequent vascular invasion, local recurrence, and poor survival. Due to the need for biliary anastomosis and potential vascular resection, the standard approach is an open...
The study aims to synthesize all available prospective comparative studies and reports the latest systematic analysis and updated evidence comparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with open radical prostatectomy (ORP) for perioperative, ...
