BACKGROUND: Pre-procedural computed tomography (CT) imaging assessment of the aortic valvular complex (AVC) is essential for the success of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, pre-TAVR assessment is a time-intensive process, and t...
PURPOSE: To report perioperative, renal function and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).
BACKGROUND: Whether there is a subset of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) that benefit from spironolactone therapy is unclear. We applied a machine learning approach to identify responders and non-responders to spi...

BACKGROUND: Evidence on the value of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (MIPS) has been increasing but it is unclear how this has influenced the view of pancreatic surgeons on MIPS.
BACKGROUND: Gastroesophageal reflux disease requiring an operative solution is common. Minimally invasive surgery to generate an anti-reflux barrier at the distal esophagus following the principle of the "floppy Nissen" technique has become the gold ...
PURPOSE: This pilot study was designed to interpret the technically specific features of the avatera robotic system and present our initial experience with this novel platform in robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP).
INTRODUCTION: It is important for robotic surgery to be cost-effective, especially by reducing the length of stay (LOS). Therefore, we developed a protocol for day-case robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). This study aimed to validate this as...

OBJECTIVES: The aims of the present study were to describe the perioperative findings of the first series of patients undergoing robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN) with a newly launched platform, the hinotori surgical robot system, and compare...
OBJECTIVE: To present the results of the first series of patients treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with the use of the Versius® Surgical System (CMR Surgical Ltd., Cambridge, UK). RARP has demonstrated better perioperative out...
