Robotic resection for esophageal cancer
ConclusionsAvailable studies suggest that RAMIE is associated with benefits regarding length of stay, clinical outcomes, and quality of life —if patients are treated in an experienced center with a standardized technique for robotic esophagectomy—making it a potentially beneficial tool in the treatment of esophageal cancer. However, center-wide standardization and prospective data collection will be a necessity to prove superiorit y of robotic esophagectomy. (Source: European Surgery)

Complete mesocolic excision in minimally invasive surgery of colonic cancer: do we need the robot?
ConclusionThe current data do not allow for a reliable conclusion on the need of robotic surgery for CME, but show results which hypothesize an equivalence if not superiority to laparoscopy. Due to recently published technical improvements for robotic CME and supplementary features of this method, we suppose that this approach will gain in im portance in the future.

Minimally invasive pancreatic surgery —will robotic surgery be the future?
SummaryDue to the complexity of the procedures and the texture of the organ itself, pancreatic surgery remains a challenge in the field of visceral surgery. During the past decade, a minimally invasive approach to pancreatic surgery has gained distribution in clinical routine, extending from left-sided procedures to pancreatic head resections. While a laparoscopic approach has proven beneficial for many pa tients with left-sided pancreatic pathologies, the complex reconstruction in pancreas head resections remains worrisome with the laparoscopic approach. The robotic technique was established to overcome such technical...

Robotic surgery for thoracic surgery
SummaryIndications for the use of RATS vary between the facilities but correspond as far as possible to other minimally invasive surgical findings. In general, RATS is currently a therapeutic option for the management of early-stage NSCLC without mediastinal lymph node involvement in oncological surgery, although depending on the planned intervention and the surgical facility, hilar lymph node involvement may be accepted (Source: European Surgery)

Ventral hernia repair under neuraxial anesthesia
ConclusionAlthough some anesthetists and surgeons may be reluctant to use regional anesthesia for both emergent and elective ventral hernia repair, this may represent an excellent option in obese patients with a high respiratory risk. (Source: European Surgery)

Robot-assisted laparoscopic rectal surgery: operative technique and initial experiences
ConclusionTaking all aspects into consideration, robotic surgery might be a good prognostic factor for oncologic and functional outcome. Further technical developments like robotic single-port platforms might even expand the possibilities of dissection. Superior or equal oncological results and long-term outcomes compared to conventional open or laparoscopic techniques ha ve yet to be examined and should be the subject of future randomized clinical trials.

Wound myiasis in Western Europe: prevalence and risk factors in a changing climate scenario
ConclusionMyasis is rare and possibly under-reported in Europe. The epidemiology of this infestation may be changing in the future due to climate variability, a rise in travel to tropical areas, and the migration of fly species. (Source: European Surgery)
