Port placement and patient-specific docking strategies for robotic hysterectomy with the Hugo™ RAS system: an international Delphi consensus.

Robotic-assisted hysterectomy is increasingly performed using modular platforms such as the Hugo™ roboticassisted surgery (RAS) system, but optimal or personalised docking strategies remain undefined.

Robotic interposition of the mesorectum during low anterior resection of the rectum for endometriosis using tissue perfusion assessment with indocyanine green.

Rectal endometriosis is a serious disease, and its surgical treatment belongs among demanding procedures, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach. It is associated with a significant risk of peri- and postoperative …

Endometriosis of the spleen - multidisciplinary surgical solution in a patient with a complex picture of deep infiltrating pelvic endometriosis.

In general, most common localizations of endometriosis are the pelvic organs, until recently, the spleen was mentioned as the only abdominal organ resistant to the development of endometriosis. Our case …

Single Port Robotic Extraperitoneal Distal Ureterectomy and Ureteral Reimplantation via Lower Anterior Approach.

Single Port (SP) Robotic Extraperitoneal approach enhances maneuverability in the narrow extraperitoneal space while preserving peritoneal integrity (1, 2). First reports show reduced postoperative pain, fewer gastrointestinal complications and shorter …

Comparison of surgical outcomes between robot-assisted and conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy for stage IV endometriosis: A propensity score-matched analysis and review of the literature.

Improving efficiency in robotic-assisted surgery: a practical guide for surgeons.

The integration of robotic systems into minimally invasive surgery offers significant advantages, including enhanced precision, reduced invasiveness, and improved patient outcomes. However, sustaining these benefits requires optimization of operational efficiency …

Robotic Hysterectomy for Benign Gynecology: Evidence and Insights.

Hysterectomy is the regimen of choice for benign gynecologic diseases, including uterine myoma, adenomyosis, endometriosis, and genital prolapse. Surgeons choose hysterectomy methods based on clinical situations or patients' preferences. Even …

The optimal surgical approach for deep infiltrating endometriosis involving pelvic nerves (type 1 and 2).

Excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis in the parametrium involving pelvic nerves can be challenging and requires good anatomical knowledge and surgical strategy (1). Based on our experience, we have identified …

The role of robotic surgery in the treatment of advanced endometriosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Advanced endometriosis (Stage III/IV) represents a particularly severe variant of endometriosis with more pronounced symptomatology and challenging surgical treatment. This review shall examine the role of robotic surgery, the latest …

Surgical Outcomes and Learning Curve of Robotic Single-Port Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) Hysterectomy Using the Da Vinci Single-Port System.

This study aims to assess the surgical outcomes and learning curve of robotic single-port vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) for hysterectomy in benign gynecologic conditions.
