Decalogue for mastering robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (rTAMIS).

This manuscript offers a detailed description of our successful tips for mastering transanal robotic surgery. It covers various aspects, including patient positioning, management of abdominal pressures to maintain a stable pneumorectum, platform positioning, camera alignment, trocar positioning to minimize collisions, instruments used, and approaches to tumor resection.

Cecum to pelvis technique: a simple and autologous solution to prevent postoperative complications in pelvic surgery.

Background: Empty Pelvis Syndrome, subsequent to the removal of pelvic organs, results in the descent of the small bowel into an inflamed pelvic cavity, leading to the formation of adhesions and subsequent small bowel obstruction. However, no effective measures have been previously described.

Objective: Describe a simple and autologous solution to prevent "Empty Pelvis Syndrome," small bowel obstruction, and adhesions by utilizing the cecum to occlude the pelvis.
