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 ...
Gait ability is often cited by stroke survivors. Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) can help stroke patients with lower limb motor impairment regain motor coordination....
PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase were systematically searched until September 2023, to identify randomized controlled trials presenting: stroke survivors as participants; RAGT as intervention; convent...
Twenty-seven publications involving 1167 patients met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed no significant differences in speed, cadence, spatial symmetry, and changes in joint mobility angles ...
Taken together, the review synthesis showed that RAGT might have a potential role in the recovery of walking dysfunction after stroke. However, its superiority over conventional rehabilitation require...
Limited data are available regarding perioperative outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who undergo robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherap...
The study involved consecutive NSCLC patients treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy at a high-volume single center from September 2020 to October 2022. Sho...
A total of 119 patients were included in this study. Of these, 33 (27.7%) patients received RATS and 86 (72.3%) patients received VATS. Major pathological response (MPR) and pathological complete resp...
These findings suggest that both RATS and VATS are safe and feasible options for NSCLC patients who have received neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy. Furthermore, RATS may offer advantages over VATS in pa...
Computed tomography (CT)-based robotic system for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has shown improved accuracy compared to conventional. This study was designed to (1) confirm the accuracy of the robotic...
Ninety-six cementless robotic-arm assisted (RA) TKAs were assessed. Bone resections were performed using the haptically controlled robotic arm. Alignment in the coronal and sagittal plane and resectio...
The mean tibial resections and implanted tibial component's positioning were 0.4 mm (standard deviation, SD: 0.6) and 0.9 mm (SD: 0.8), respectively, higher than planned (p < 0.01). The tibial sagitta...
The computed tomography-based robotic-assisted TKA system showed good accuracy regarding bone preparation and component's positioning relative to the planning. Cementless tibial component impaction re...

Recently, robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has gained popularity worldwide. Some studies have compared the long-term results of RAMIE and minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE)....
This retrospective study included 86 patients with thoracic esophageal cancer who underwent RAMIE or MIE at our hospital from June 2010 to December 2016. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed, ...
Before PSM, the RAMIE group had a longer operation time (min) than the MIE group (P = 0.019). RAMIE also exhibited significantly lower blood loss volume (mL) (P < 0.001) and fewer three-field lymph no...
Compared with MIE, RAMIE led to no differences in long-term results, suggesting that RAMIE is a comparable technique....
To assess the impact of the learning curve (LC) on perioperative and long-term functional outcomes of a consecutive single-centre series of robot-assisted radical cystectomy with Padua intracorporeal ...
Patients treated between 2013 and 2022 were included, with ≥1 year of follow-up. The entire cohort was divided in tertiles. Categorical and continuous variables were compared. Joinpoint regression ana...
Overall, 200 patients were included. The mean hospital stay (P = 0.002) and 30-day complications (P = 0.04) significantly reduced over time; the LC significantly impacted on Trifecta achievement (P < ...
Patients at the beginning of the LC had significantly longer hospitalisations, more postoperative complications, and lower Trifecta rates. At the 10-year analyses, we observed a significant improving ...
The landscape of robotic surgery is evolving with the emergence of new platforms. However, reports on their applicability in different surgical fields are still limited and come from teams with roboti...
