BACKGROUND: Single-port robotic cholecystectomy offers minimally invasive benefits. This trial evaluated the feasibility and safety of a novel system, MicroPort SA-1000. METHODS: In this dual centre, single-arm, prospective study, eligible…

BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery has significantly advanced colorectal procedures, yet achieving an optimal anastomotic technique remains challenging. The Robotic Intracorporeal Single-Stapled Anastomosis (RiSSA) has been introduced to overcome …

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the feasibility and mid-term outcomes of Robotic single-port single-incision laparoscopic surgery (RSP-SILS) for endometriosis management. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 50 adult women with end…

BACKGROUND: To assess the feasibility of use of indocyanine green (ICG) in identifying and minimising urinary tract injury during surgical resection of endometriosis through robotic transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopy surger…

BACKGROUND: Our objective was to evaluate surgical outcomes of robotic compared to conventional laparoscopy for colorectal surgery for endometriosis. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study comparing robotic to conventional laparo…

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 …

OBJECTIVE: This study examined the feasibility of robotic laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) for the treatment of adolescent endometriosis (n = 36). Additionally, we assessed a novel technique known as butterfly resection for sever…

BACKGROUND: Economic data and the clinical impact of introducing robotic-assisted hysterectomy in a European setting are scarce with conflicting findings. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, the cost and complication rate of the d…

BACKGROUND: We examined the association of patient factors, gynecologic diagnoses, and hospital characteristics with utilization of the robotic approach for benign hysterectomy. METHODS: We performed cross-sectional study of women (n = 725…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to design and validate a cross-specialty basic robotic surgical skills training program on the RobotiX Mentor virtual reality simulator. METHODS: A Delphi panel reached consensus on six modules to incl…

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND: Using robotic surgery, we report successful resection of deep invasive pelvic endometriosis with a multidisciplinary team of colorectal and gynecologic surgeons. METHODS/INTERVENTIONS: Fifteen cases of robotic-assisted …

OBJECTIVE: To introduce our experience of robotic surgery of reconstructive uterovaginal anastomosis and operative outcomes in congenital cervical and vaginal atresia patients. METHODS: Clinical observation and follow-up of four patients w…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy for deep intramural myomas. METHODS: We have conducted a retrospective study for 170 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy by a single o…

BACKGROUND: The feasibility, safety, and costs of single-incision robotic colectomy (SIRC) are not known. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted, comparing the initial 29 consecutive SIRC procedures performed to 36 multiport laparos…

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery represents the gold standard for the management of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of robotic surgery for the management of DIE. METHODS: A 5-year r…

BACKGROUND: This systematic review evaluates the role of robotics in the surgical treatment of endometriosis. METHODS: Electronic database searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Scopus, and ISI Web of Knowledge for relevant studies over the p…
