Feasibility of robotic single-incision colorectal surgery utilizing a multiport robotic platform: a case series.
The advent of a single port robotic platform offers many potential improvements compared with single incision laparoscopy for both patients and surgeons. However, the technology will likely be prohibitively expensive …
Stage-Specific outcomes of robotic transvaginal NOTES hysterectomy in endometriosis: A comparative study.
The objective was to assess outcomes of robotic-assisted transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RA-vNOTES) performed for hysterectomy and endometriosis excision. We conducted a retrospective case series across two hospitals …
'En bloc' peritoneal mesometrial resection (PMMR) and pelvic targeted compartmental lymphadenectomy (TCL) for management of patients with endometrial cancer - feasibility and safety study of a 'new kid on the block' in robotic surgery.
Robotic Peritoneal Mesometrial Resection and Targeted Compartmental Lymphadenectomy (PMMR + TCL) is a procedure following Cancer Field Surgery concept for endometrial cancer (EC), enabling superior locoregional control without adjuvant irradiation. …
Selective Appendectomy in Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Surgery for Endometriosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory systemic disease that commonly affects bowel structures, including the appendix, where it may mimic or coexist with chronic appendicitis. Visual inspection alone often fails …
Impact of Minimally Invasive Surgery on Quality of Life and Infertility in Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis.
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age. It substantially impacts quality of life (QoL) through pelvic pain, infertility, and psychological …
