To present our initial experience and evaluate perioperative, and follow-up outcomes following the novel technique of robot-assisted laparoscopic bilateral ileal ureter replacement (IUR) with extracor...
We prospectively enrolled 4 consecutive patients with BEUS undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic bilateral IUR with extracorporeal ileal segment preparation between June 2021 and October 2021. A 4-ar...
All the patients had BEUS, and the length of strictures was over 10.ßcm in both sides. All procedures were performed effectively with a median operative time of 312.5.ßminutes (range 227-433) and a me...
We present the details and initial experience of robot-assisted laparoscopic bilateral IUR with extracorporeal ileal segment preparation. According to the median follow-up of 12 months, this minimally...
Studies on robotic total gastrectomy (RTG) are currently limited. This study aimed to compare the intraoperative performance as well as short- and long-term outcomes of RTG and laparoscopic total gast...
A total of 969 patients underwent robotic (n = 161) or laparoscopic (n = 636) total gastrectomy between October 2014 and October 2021. The two groups of patients were matched 1:3 using the propensity ...
After matching, the estimated intraoperative blood loss was lower (80.51 ± 68.77 vs. 89.89 ± 66.12, p = 0.008), and the total number of lymph node dissections was higher (34.74 ± 12.44 vs. 29.83 ± 12....
Robotic total gastrectomy demonstrated better intraoperative performance, could improve the short-term clinical outcomes of patients, and was more conducive to patient recovery. However, the long-term...
Using fiducial-marker-based robotic respiratory tumor tracking, we treated perihilar cholangiocarcinoma patients in the STRONG trial with 15 daily fractions of 4 Gy. For each of the included patients,...
Describe the outcomes and safety of robotic-assisted kidney auto-transplantation (RAKAT) in the treatment of nutcracker syndrome (NCS) and loin pain haematuria syndrome (LPHS)....
This retrospective study included 32 cases of NCS and LPHS seen during December 2016 to June 2021....
Three (9%) patients had LPHS and 29 (91%) NCS. All were non-Hispanic whites, and 31 (97%) women. The mean age was 32 years (SD = 10) and the BMI 22.8 (SD = 5). The RAKAT was completed in all patients,...
RAKAT was a feasible procedure with a similar complication rate to those reported for other surgical techniques....
Osteoporosis can determine surgical strategy for total hip arthroplasty (THA), and perioperative fracture risk. The aims of this study were to use hip CT to measure femoral bone mineral density (BMD) ...
This study aimed to demonstrate to the involved departments the goal of increasing the number of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) cases/surgeons and acceptable surgery times....
This retrospective study included 1572 patients who underwent thoracic surgery from fiscal year (FY) 2018 to FY 2021. The factors evaluated included the number of surgery cases and actual and schedule...
The total number of RATS and total surgery cases increased after the quality indicator (QI) setting (n = 363, 360, 417, and 432 in FY 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively). In FY 2020, 93.3% of th...
The goal of increasing the number of surgery cases and RATS cases/surgeons within the given framework was achieved by setting the QI....
We compared the intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) via transabdominal or retroperitoneal approaches in patients with stage T1b renal...
The medical records for 92 patients who underwent RALPN were retrospectively collected and data on their baseline demographics, duration of operation, duration of renal artery clamping, intraoperative...
Of the 92 enrolled patients, 43 and 49 patients were subjected to RALPN via the transabdominal and retroperitoneal approaches, respectively. All patients successfully completed the operation. Baseline...
Application of RALPN via transabdominal or retroperitoneal approaches showed comparable clinical outcomes in patients with stage T1b renal cell carcinoma. The retroperitoneal approach was superior to ...
BACKGROUND Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is an effective and safe option for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients with isolated retrolingual obstruction, as well as part of multilevel s...
The current study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary clinical impact of robot-led distraction during needle procedures in children with chronic diseases on pain-related memories. Participants w...
Lung nodules are a common radiographic finding. Non-surgical biopsy is recommended in patients with moderate or high pretest probability for malignancy. Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ss...
We conducted a retrospective analysis of the first 200 biopsy procedures of 209 lung lesions using ssRAB, r-EBUS, and CBCT at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. Outcomes were based on pa...
The mean largest lesion dimension was 22.6 ± 13.3 mm with a median of 19 mm (range 7 to 73 mm). The prevalence of malignancy in our data was 64.1%. The diagnostic accuracy of ssRAB combined with advan...
Our results of the combined use of ssRAB with r-EBUS and CBCT to sample pulmonary lesions suggest a high diagnostic accuracy for malignant lesions with reasonably high sensitivity and negative predict...
