A right colectomy case study: transitioning to the Hugo RAS system with a novel 3-ports technique in experienced robotic colorectal practice.

Introduction: Advancements in robotic technology have revolutionized general surgery, with new platforms and continuous improvements enhancing surgical procedures. Our unit adopted the Da Vinci Si model in 2012 and later the X model for various abdominal surgeries. In early 2023, we integrated the Hugo RAS system by Medtronic into our practice following comprehensive training.

Omentoplasty in Patients Undergoing Abdominoperineal Resection After Long-Course Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced and Locally Recurrent Rectal Cancer: A Comparative Single-Institution Cohort Study.

Background: Omentoplasty is a commonly performed procedure after abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer, but its effectiveness to reduce pelviperineal complications is not firmly established.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of omentoplasty on postoperative outcomes after long-course (chemo) radiotherapy and abdominoperineal resection in patients with locally advanced and locally recurrent rectal cancer.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Post-bariatric Abdominoplasty: Identification of Risk Factors for Complications.

Purpose: The aim was to evaluate the complication rate after abdominoplasty procedures performed in a high volume post-bariatric center and to identify predictors of complications.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed and included all abdominoplasty procedures performed between January 2011 and December 2019. Complications classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification were documented and potential risk factors were statistically evaluated.
