Single-port robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (SP-RATS) lobectomy using the da Vinci Xi system has been performed by several pioneers. However, due to the severe collisions and the steep learning curv...
This study aimed to construct a novel pelvis-prostate model BPPP which consists of body mass index (BMI), prostate volume (PV), pelvic cavity index (PCI) and prostate-muscle index (PMI) to predict the...
The aim of this systematic review is to assess a relation between demographical, clinical and tumoral features and the need for a prophylactic tracheotomy during TORS procedure in patients affected by...
PRISMA 2020 guidelines were applied in this systematic literature review. A computerized search was performed using the Embase/Pubmed, Scopus and Cochrane database, for articles published from 2007 to...
Through a study selection process 8 full texts were eligible for statistical univariate analysis. The most relevant factor related to a prophylactic tracheotomy was a contextual bilateral cervical nod...
The prophylactic tracheotomy is considered a temporary protection strategy to achieve a valid recovery after TORS procedure. However, there are no guidelines regarding its routinely use. Only 25 % of ...
We compared the comprehensive clinical outcomes of focal therapy (FT) and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients with localized prostate cancer (PC) using a win ratio analysis. After ...
There is a paucity of research comparing postoperative complication rates between manual total knee arthroplasty (M-TKA) and robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA). This study aims to compa...
A retrospective review of a multihospital database identified patients who underwent TKA between January 2016 and May 2023. Surgeons who used the robotic-assisted surgery technique in <10% or >90% of ...
All-cause 90-day readmission rates were 2.4% for RA-TKA and 2.6% for M-TKA (P = 0.36). RA-TKA had fewer revisits (RA-TKA: 7.8%; M-TKA: 8.8%, P = 0.027) and rates of readmission with >23 hours of obser...
In this retrospective matched cohort analysis, RA-TKA was associated with markedly fewer revisits and readmissions with >23 hours of observation compared with M-TKA. No differences in all-cause 90-day...

To improve our previous simulation-based training module by using sustainable material to mold an anatomically accurate terrain and reproducing major vascular injuries encountered during robot-assiste...
The simulator was built with a pump, gauge, and valve linked via silicone tubing. Artificial blood was made from cornstarch, water, and red dye, and pumped through 3D-Med artificial vessels with the d...
The apparatus demonstrated high reproducibility across all simulation scenarios, enhancing resident problem-solving skills. Residents' pre-simulation surveys revealed significant concern regarding the...
The management of acute hemorrhage during robot-assisted surgery remains a space for additional surgical education and training. Our simulation successfully provided a reliable, reproducible training ...
Social technology can improve the quality of social lives of older adults (OAs) and mitigate negative mental and physical health outcomes. When people engage with technology, they can do so to stimula...
This work presents the implementation of an RGB-D camera as a surrogate signal for liver respiratory-induced motion estimation. This study aims to validate the feasibility of RGB-D cameras as a surrog...
The proposed approach uses an RGB-D camera to compute an abdominal surface reconstruction and estimate the liver respiratory-induced motion. Two sets of validation experiments were conducted, first, u...
The motion model for the robotic liver phantom displayed an error below 3 mm with a coefficient of determination above 90% for the different directions of motion. The clinical study presented errors o...
RGB-D cameras are a promising method to accurately estimate the liver respiratory-induced motion. The internal motion can be estimated in a non-contact, noninvasive and flexible approach. Additionally...
We sought to investigate whether surgical delay may be associated with pathological upstaging in patients treated with robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for localized and locally advanced pr...
Consecutive firstly-diagnosed PCa patients starting from March 2020 have been enrolled. All the patients were categorized according to EAU risk categories for PCa risk. Uni- and multivariate analysis ...
Overall 2017 patients entered the study. Median age at surgery was 68 (IQR 63-73) years. Overall low risk, intermediate risk, localized high risk and locally advanced disease were recorded in 368 (18....
In localized high-risk disease surgical delay could be associated with a higher risk of adverse pathologic findings....
Radical nephroureterectomy with concurrent bladder cuff excision (RNUBCE) is the gold standard surgical approach for high-risk primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Given the notably high i...
This is a retrospective chart review study. Patients with non-invasive (N0, not T3/T4) UTUC who underwent robotic RNUBCE combined an intraoperative MMC instillation or a deferred MMC instillation afte...
A total of 54 patients were included in the analysis. 12 (22.2%) patients experienced a bladder tumor recurrence during follow-up (IO: 7.7%, PO: 35.7%,...
IIntraoperative MMC instillation is safe and associated with a lower bladder tumor recurrence risk in patients undergoing robotic RNUBCE for UTUC than deferred instillation. Future large, prospective ...
