Feasibility and Safety Study of the Use of a New Robot (Maestro™) for Laparoscopic Surgery.

Background: In laparoscopic surgery, telerobotic systems such as Da Vinci™ were developed, among other things, to give back exposure and vision control to the operating surgeon. However, new limitations such as the separation of the operating surgeon from the operating table, cost, and size were unveiled. A new device, Maestro™, appears promising in addressing these limitations.

Sleeve gastrectomy with duodenoileal bipartition using linear magnets: feasibility and safety at 1-year follow-up.

Background: Single-anastomosis metabolic/bariatric surgery procedures may lessen the incidence of anastomotic complications. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing side-to-side duodenoileal (DI) bipartition using magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA). In addition, preliminary efficacy, quality of life (QoL), and distribution of food through the DI bipartition were evaluated.

Side-to-side magnetic duodeno-ileostomy in adults with severe obesity with or without type 2 diabetes: early outcomes with prior or concurrent sleeve gastrectomy.

Background: Conventional metabolic/bariatric surgical anastomoses with sutures/staples may cause severe adverse events (AEs).

Objectives: The study aim was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of primary and revisional side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy (DI) bipartition using a novel magnetic compression anastomosis device (Magnet Anastomosis System [MS]).

Setting: Multicenter: private practices and university hospitals.

First human surgery using a surgical assistance robotics device for laparoscopic cholecystectomies.

Background: Over the past 20 years, surgeons involved in soft tissue minimally invasive surgery have experienced the pros and cons of both conventional and tele-robotic laparoscopic approaches. The Maestro System, developed by Moon Surgical (Paris, France) aims to overcome the challenges inherent to both approaches thanks to a new concept that augments the surgeon's performance at the bedside during a laparoscopic procedure.

Methods: The current study aims to present the first human experience with laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the Maestro system on 10 patients.

Evaluation of the SafeHeal Colovac+ anastomosis protection device after low anterior resection for rectal cancer: the safe anastomosis feasibility evaluation (SAFE) 2019 trial.

Background: Protective ileostomy (PI) is the current standard of care to protect the anastomosis after low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer, but is associated with significant morbidity. Colovac is an anastomosis protection device designed to shield the anastomosis from fecal content. A second version (Colovac+) was developed to limit the migration risk during the implantation period.
