Review of Robotic Simultaneous Resection of Colorectal Cancer with Synchronous Liver Metastases Using Da Vinci Xi: Technical Considerations and Outcomes.

Robotic surgery has revolutionized the field of minimally invasive oncologic surgery. The Da Vinci Xi platform is a significant upgrade from older Da Vinci platforms facilitating multiquadrant and multi-visceral resection. We review the current technical factors and outcomes in robotic surgery for simultaneous resection of colon and synchronous liver metastases (CLRM) and provide future perspective on technical considerations for combined resection.

Safety and Feasibility of Robotic-Assisted Drainage of Symptomatic Pancreatic Pseudocysts: A Case-Series Analysis (with video).

The surgical treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts (PPs) in patients who fail nonoperative management has evolved from aggressive open to a minimally invasive approach. The application of robotic surgery in this setting is scarcely reported. The aim of this study is to analyze the safety and feasibility of the robotic approach to pancreatic pseudocyst drainage.
