Article Synopsis
  • This study compared robotic-assisted varicocelectomy (RAV) and laparoscopic varicocelectomy (LV) in 40 pediatric patients over two years, focusing on techniques and outcomes.
  • Results showed that while both methods were effective, LV had a significantly shorter average operative time (20 min) compared to RAV (34.5 min), better cosmetic results, and lower total costs (€1,587.07 vs. €5,650.31).
  • The conclusion indicates that while RAV is a safe option, laparoscopic techniques are preferable for treating pediatric varicocele due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

To date, the virtual multidisciplinary tumor boards (vMTBs) are increasingly used to achieve high-quality treatment recommendations across health-care regions, which expands and develops the local MTB team to a regional or national expert network. This review describes the process of lung cancer-specific MTBs and the transition process from face-to-face tumor boards to virtual ones. The review also focuses on the project organization's description, advantages, and disadvantages.
