In total, 466 patients were included, representing 472 RAPN. The mean tumor size was 3.4 ± 1.7 cm, most of moderate complexity (median PADUA and RENAL scores of 8 [7-10] and 7 [5-9]). Indication for n...
Our results reflect the contemporary practice of French expert centers and is, to our knowledge, the first to provide prospective data on late complications associated with RAPN. We have shown that RA...

To evaluate the current literature comparing outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) versus laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) treating complex renal tumors (RENAL nephrometry score ≥7)....
We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and Scopus databases up to March 2023. Review Manager 5.4 performed a pooled analysis of the data for random effects. B...
Eight observational studies comprising 1346 patients (RPN: 695; LPN: 651) were included in this study. Compared to LPN, RPN had a shorter operative time (OT) (weight mean difference [WMD]: -14.73 min;...
Patients with complex renal tumors (RENAL score ≥7), RPN is superior to LPN in decreasing the OT, WIT, LOS, transfusion rate, change in eGFR and the incidence of intraoperative complications while mai...
To examine the short-term outcomes after laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) compared to robot-assisted retromuscular repair of small to medium sized ventral hernia....
With the introduction of a robot-assisted approach, retromuscular mesh placement is technically more feasible compared to laparoscopic IPOM, with potential gains for the patient, including avoidance o...
This was a nationwide cohort study of patients undergoing either laparoscopic IPOM or robot-assisted retromuscular repair of a ventral hernia with a horizontal fascial defect <7 cm in the period 2017 ...
A total of 1,136 patients were included for analysis. The rate of IPOM repaired patients hospitalized > 2 days was more than 3 times higher than after robotic retromuscular repair (17.3% vs. 4.5%, P <...
For patients undergoing first-time repair of a ventral hernia, robot-assisted retromuscular repair was associated with a significantly reduced incidence of prolonged length of postoperative hospital s...
Up to the present time, the laparoscopic approach for colon cancer is considered the gold standard. However, robotic surgery has been appraised in modern medicine. It is essential to evaluate the diff...
PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, LILACS and Clinical trials databases will be searched for randomised clinical trials inv...
This study will review the published data; thus, it is not necessary to obtain ethical approval. The findings of this systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal....

Despite perioperative advantages, robot-assisted surgery is associated with high costs. However, the lower morbidity of robotic surgery could lead to a lower nursing workload and cost savings. In this...
Robotic surgery for right-sided colon and rectal cancer has rapidly increased; however, there is limited evidence in the literature of advantages of robotic left colectomy (RLC) for left-sided colon c...
Patients who had RLC or LLC with CME for left-sided colon cancer at five hospitals in China between January 2014 and April 2022 were included. A one-to-one propensity score matched analysis was perfor...
A total of 292 patients (187 male; median age 61.0 [20.0-85.0] years) were eligible for this study, and propensity score matching yielded 102 patients in each group. The clinicopathological characteri...
Compared to laparoscopic surgery, RLC with CME for left-sided colon cancer was found to be associated with higher numbers of lymph nodes harvested and similar postoperative complications and long-term...
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) has been increasingly adopted in many rehabilitation facilities for walking function and activity in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the effecti...
Determine the effect of RAGT on cardiopulmonary function and lower extremity strength in SCI survivors....
Eight databases were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials comparing RAGT with conventional physical therapy or other non-robotic therapies for survivors with SCI. Study selection r...
The pooled analysis demonstrated that RAGT may have a positive effect for individuals with SCI on lower extremity strength enhancing (...
RAGT may be a useful technique for improving lower limb strength and cardiovascular endurance in SCI survivors. The usefulness of RAGT in enhancing static pulmonary function was not demonstrated by th...
Optimal flexion-extension gap balancing is an important factor in outcomes after total knee arthroplasty. Knees with varus deformities are commonly associated with a greater degree of lateral laxity b...
This surgical technique was prospectively employed in 105 patients undergoing primary MAKO® (Stryker, Kalamazoo, Michigan) RATKA for osteoarthritis of the knee with varus deformity, between January 20...
The mean initial lateral extension gap was 25.76mm (standard deviation [SD]=1.47) and the mean lateral flexion gap was 24.4mm (SD=1.94). Balance was achieved in all the patients with a 9 or 11mm inser...
Residual lateral joint laxity can be avoided consistently and predictably in RATKA cases with initial gap capture of up to 30mm in lateral extension and flexion with this new technique of gap capture ...
To compare perioperative outcomes between Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), open simple prostatectomy (OSP), and robotic simple prostatectomy (RSP) for large prostates (> 80 cc)....
A retrospective study of 340 patients who underwent HoLEP (n = 209), OSP (n = 66), or RSP (n = 65) at a large academic medical center between January 2013 - September 2021 was performed. Length of sta...
HoLEP was found to have the shortest: operative time (1.4 vs 2.7 vs 3.8h), LOS (0.65 vs 4.2 vs 2.6d), and catheter duration (0.38 vs 9.9 vs 11.2d) compared to OSP and RSP, respectively (all P <.0001)....
