Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1596: Robotic versus Laparoscopic Liver Resections for Colorectal Metastases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
urek Lukasz Szarpak Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, and the liver is the most common localization of metastatic disease. The incidence of minimally invasive liver surgery is increasing, and robotic surgery (RLR) is believed to overcome some limitations of a laparoscopic approach (LRL). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of operative and short-term oncologic outcomes of the laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted liver resection for colorectal liver metastases. An online search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane databases was performed. Eight studies involving 3210 pa...

The urinary and sexual outcomes of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
AbstractTo compare the urinary and sexual outcomes between robot-assisted rectal cancer (RC) surgery (RRCS) and laparoscopic RC surgery (LRCS) using a meta-analysis, searches were conducted of the Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang databases. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was the primary outcome. Eleven studies (790 patients with RRCS and 888 with LRCS) were included. The IPSS scores were significantly lower for RRCS than LRCS from baseline to 3  months (weighted mean difference [WMD] =  − 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI]: − 1.8,-0.62,I2 = 89.9%), to 6 months (WMD...

Laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatocellular adenoma using the hepatic vein as anatomic markers,How I do it.(with video)
CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic hepatectomy for intractable GHCA using the involved intrahepatic anatomic markers is feasible and effective. It reduces pre-operative haemorrhage and open conversion rates while maximising postoperative hepatic function.PMID:38644119 | DOI:10.1016/j.asjsur.2024.04.032 (Source: Asian Journal of Surgery)

Preoperative risk calculator for the probability of completing nephron sparing for kidney cancer
CONCLUSIONS: The probability of PN completion can be preoperatively assessed, with optimal accuracy relaying on routinely available clinical information. The proposed model might be useful in preoperative decision-making, patient consensus, or during preoperative counselling.PATIENT SUMMARY: In patients with a renal mass the probability of completing a partial nephrectomy varies considerably and without a predictive model is invariably inaccurate and subjective. In this study we build-up a risk calculator based on easily available preoperative variables that can predict with optimal accuracy the probability of not removing...

Peripartal management of dichorial twin pregnancy in a bicornuate bicollis uterus: a case report and review of the  literature
ConclusionA twin pregnancy in the presence of a uterine malformation is rare and difficult to manage. These rare cases must be collected and reported in order to work out algorithms of monitoring and therapy as well as issue appropriate recommendations for their management.

RE: Predictors of Early Continence after Single-Port Transvesical Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
Radical prostatectomy has witnessed significant changes in terms of surgical approach and techniques. From the earliest open procedures to the innovative laparoscopy, and subsequently, robotic surgeries, each step has contributed to improving functional and oncological outcomes for millions of patients. More specifically, with the advent of newer and more precise robotic platforms, the ultimate goal is to be as minimally invasive as possible while maintaining optimal oncological results. In line with this philosophy, Intuitive launched the Da Vinci Single Port (SP) platform in 2018, featuring multiple innovations compared ...

Comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for visceral obesity in mid –low rectal cancer: a propensity-matched analysis
AbstractObesity is becoming more and more common, and measuring visceral fat area (VFA) is a useful diagnostic technique for visceral obesity (VO). The purpose of this research is to compare the surgical results of robotic versus laparoscopic rectal surgery, with a focus on assessing the benefits of the latter method for treating both VO and mid –low rectal cancer. Patients receiving laparoscopic or robotic anterior rectal excision at Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital’s general surgery department were included in the retrospective analysis. 242 people in all took part in the study; 121 cases were assigned to the rob...

Comparison of postoperative urinary complications in laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty versus posterior sagittal anorectoplasty for anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula
ConclusionsIt is important to check inflow angle preoperatively to prevent remnant fistula. For PSARP, meticulous dissection is required when separating fistula from urethra because they create common wall. The most contributing factor to neurogenic bladder is sacral anomalies. Preoperative evaluation and postoperative urinary drainage are important. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)
