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...
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...
Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (POGD) is a common complication following colorectal surgery. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of POGD after minimally invasive...
Patients who had undergone minimally invasive colorectal surgery at our institution between July 2018 and November 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. POGD was diagnosed based on the presence of two o...
A total of 226 patients were included in the analysis, including 33 with POGD. POGD occurred in 14.6% of patients, with a lower incidence in robotic surgery (7.3%) than in laparoscopic surgery (19.8%)...
POGD remains a prevalent postoperative disease. Preventive strategies, including meticulous hemostasis techniques and robotic surgery, should be prioritized by healthcare professionals to reduce POGD ...
To examine robotic interventions for upper limb rehabilitation post-stroke, focusing on geographical distribution, stroke chronicity, outcome measures, outcomes of robotic interventions, and publicati...
Using JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, PubMed, CENTRAL, Embase, CINAHL, and PEDro databases were searched for studies on upper extremity rehabilitation with robotics post-stroke....
This review focused on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2012 and 2024 that examined rehabilitation robots for upper-limb impairments caused by stroke. The studies included adults ...
Reviewers independently extracted data on study characteristics, stroke chronicity, outcome measures, outcomes of robotic interventions, and temporal trends....
Of 129 articles meeting the criteria, 107 were from HICs, and 22 were from LMICs. Major contributors from HICs included Italy, Taiwan, and the USA, while China was a significant contributor among LMIC...
This review underscores the expanding research on robotic therapy for upper limb rehabilitation in stroke patients, primarily from high-income countries with limited input from low- and middle-income ...
Previous studies suggested better functional outcomes and longer device survival for female artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation compared to male AUS implantation. We hypothesized that the ...
We retrospectively reviewed charts of male patients who had AUS implantation and female patients who underwent robotic AUS implantation for non-neurogenic SUI between 2010 and 2022 at a single center....
After excluding 79 patients, 171 were included: 70 women and 101 men. Operative time was shorter in males (126.9 vs. 165.5 min; p < 0.0001). Postoperative complication rates were similar (17.3% vs. 22...
Robotic female AUS implantation is associated with better functional outcomes than male AUS implantation, with similar morbidity and survival rates....
Tobacco smoking increases risk of complications after open hernia repair, however it is unknown whether this is true in minimally invasive hernia repair. We aim to determine whether there are differen...
Our study included 102 patients who underwent robotic eTEP retrorectus repair of ventral hernias at a single institution from November 2019 to October 2022. Data collected included demographics, smoki...
Out of 102 patients, 18 were currently smoking, 38 were former smokers, 56 had ever smoked, 46 had never smoked and 84 were not currently smoking. Those who had ever smoked were more likely to endorse...
Active smoking at the time of robotic eTEP increases the risk of clinically significant surgical site occurrences. This same increase is not seen in former smokers suggesting that smoking cessation sh...
