Background: The article describes our initial experience using CMR Versius platform for several procedures in general surgery.
Methods: Between September 2022 and April 2023, seventy patients underwent robotic surgery in a multi-robotic referral center (San Paolo University Hospital, Milan, Italy). Three surgeons with only laparoscopic experience performed 24 cholecystectomies, 13 inguinal hernia repairs, 9 ventral hernia repairs, 7 right hemicolectomies, 11 left hemicolectomies, 1 sigmoidectomy, 1 ileocecal resection, 1 ventral rectopexy, 1 Nissen fundoplication, 1 total splenectomy, and 1 exploration with multiple biopsies.
Safe and secure closure of the vaginal cuff is a critical component of a robotic assisted hysterectomy procedure. Our aim in this study is to develop and validate a novel vaginal cuff closure model (VC) created from porcine heart that allows trainees to obtain competency in a low-risk environment. Ten expert and 20 novice robotic surgeons performed a cuff closure exercise on the VC model and on the dV-Trainer, a virtual reality simulator (VR).

- Primary hyperparathyroidism is primarily caused by adenomas (80-85%), with atypical adenomas and parathyroid carcinoma being rare (1-1.3%).
- A study involving 117 patients found that 91.5% had typical adenomas, while 8.5% had atypical ones, with no cases of parathyroid carcinoma observed.
- Significant differences in histological features were noted between atypical and typical adenomas, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis to rule out malignancy in atypical cases.
Background: To review the available clinical data about the value of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence imaging for intraoperative detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review, according to the PRISMA guidelines, for clinical series investigating the possible role of ICG fluorescence imaging in detecting peritoneal carcinomatosis during surgical treatment of abdominal malignancies. With the aim to analyze actual application in the daily clinical practice, papers including trials with fluorophores other than ICG, in vitro and animals series were excluded.
