Total hip arthroplasty (THA) aims to restore function and reduce pain for patients suffering from hip pathologies. However, some procedures require revision THA, with the most common reasons including...
An extensive, cross-platform search of total hip arthroplasty on August 1, 2022 was performed. Studies were included only if they addressed robotic-assisted THA in comparison to manual techniques. Add...
Overall, 24 studies were included for analyses. CT scan-based robotic-arm assisted THA had some potential key advantages as compared to manual techniques. Specifically, robotic-assisted THA was associ...
The current literature suggests potential advantages for CT scan-based robotic-arm assisted THA compared to manual THA. Surgeons should consider CT scan-based robotic-arm assisted THA for their patien...
Ovarian masses in pediatric populations are the most common abdominal masses in young girls. In neonates, the majority of masses are benign while in children and teen-agers the risk of malignancy exis...
The records of patients under the age of 18 who were operated in three pediatric surgical units due to ovarian mass, in the last 25 years, were reviewed retrospectively. The study group comprised 147 ...
The patients ages ranged between 7 days and 15 years (median, 59 days). All the procedures were completed in laparoscopy or robotics without conversion in open surgery. One-hundred and eleven patients...
In neonatal ovarian cysts, surgical management remained unchanged and an ovarian sparing procedure is always indicated and the long-term follow-ups confirm this hypothesis. The principal innovation in...
Limited data are available regarding long-term oncological outcomes in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who undergo robotic pancreatectomy (RP)....
All patients who underwent RP and open pancreatectomy (OP) for resectable PDAC between January 2011 and December 2019 were included. The RP group was matched 1:1 with OP group by propensity score matc...
Overall, 1606 patients were included in this study. After PSM, a well-balanced cohort of 335 patients in each group was selected for further analysis. The RP group had shorter operative time (210 min ...
Robotic pancreatectomy is safe and oncologically effective for resectable PDAC. OS was comparable between RP and OP, and RFS was improved in the RP group, especially in patients who receive AC....
Robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (RANU) and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNU) are two minimally invasive surgical management for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC). Though more high...
The systematic review was performed based on a registered protocol (registration number CRD42022319086). We searched through PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases, as well as conference proceedings an...
The review included 8470 patients undergoing RANU and 19872 patients undergoing LNU from 12 comparative original studies. RANU was associated with fewer overall complications (OR=0.71, 95%CI: 0.62 to ...
For UTUC patients, RANU offers fewer complications and shorter hospitalization. However, RANU requires longer operative time and shares similar oncologic outcomes compared to LNU. Further randomized d...

The purpose of this study was to determine if laparoscopically guided transversus abdominis plane block (Lap-Tap) with liposomal bupivacaine provides superior postoperative pain control when compared ...
This was a prospective randomized controlled trial assigning patients to one of two cohorts: Cohort 1 consisted of US-Tap administered before the procedure using liposomal bupivacaine, Cohort 2 consis...
There was a significant increase in oral narcotic use in the first 24 h in the US-Tap cohort compared to the Lap-Tap cohort: Lap-Tap mean = 6.73 ± 8.22 OME versus US-Tap mean = 12.69 ± 12.94 p = 0.018...
Lap-Taps are comparable to US-Tap for postoperative analgesia during the first 72-h after surgery when performing robotic-assisted gynecologic oncology surgery....
This paper proposes a method to solve the problem of localization and mapping of a two-wheeled inverted pendulum (TWIP) robot on approximately flat ground using a Lidar-IMU-Odometer system. When TWIP ...
In this study, a Back Propagation (BP) neural network algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization is proposed to plan and optimize the trajectory of a redundant robotic arm for the upper li...
Robotic liver resection (RLR) has increasingly been accepted as it has overcome some of the limitations of open liver resection (OLR), while the outcomes following RLR in elderly patients with hepatoc...
Perioperative data of elderly patients (≥ 65 years) with HCC who underwent RLR or OLR between January 2010 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. A 1:2 propensity score-matched (PSM) analysi...
Of the 427 elderly HCC patients included in this study, 113 underwent RLR and 314 underwent OLR. After the 1:2 PSM, there were 100 and 178 patients in the RLR and the OLR groups, respectively. The RLR...
RLR was comparable to OLR in feasibility and safety. For elderly patients with HCC, RLR resulted in similar oncologic and survival outcomes as OLR....
Evaluating the risk factors for the conversion from robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) to radical nephrectomy (RN). Through a comprehensive database search encompassing PubMed, Web of Science...
Severe COVID-19 can lead to a decline in pulmonary and physical functions simultaneously. Patients experiencing significant ambulatory dysfunction often face restrictions in participating in gait trai...
This study presents a case examining the impact of combining pulmonary rehabilitation with robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on pulmonary and physical functions in a patient with severe COVID-19 pne...
The combination of RAGT with pulmonary rehabilitation is a treatment method that can be applied without complications and has the potential to improve pulmonary and physical functions in patients with...
