Clinical outcomes and costs of retromuscular and intraperitoneal onlay mesh techniques in robotic incisional hernia repair.

Background: This study aims to compare clinical outcomes and financial cost of intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) versus retromuscular (RM) repairs in robotic incisional hernia repairs (rIHR).

Methods: Patients who underwent either IPOM or RM elective rIHR from 2012 to 2022 were included. Demographics, operative details, postoperative outcomes, and hospital costs were directly compared.

Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 on Clinical Outcomes of Robotic Cholecystectomy.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic strained the health care sector, putting severe constraints on surgical departments. In this study, we evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the outcomes of patients undergoing robotic cholecystectomy (RC).

Patients And Methods: Patients who underwent RC 1 year before and after March 2020 were included in this retrospective study and assigned accordingly to the pre or post-COVID group.

Learning Curve of Multiport Robotic Cholecystectomy: A Cumulative Sum Analysis.

Objective: To establish the learning curve of multiport robotic cholecystectomy (MRC).

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing MRC was performed. A cumulative sum analysis helped define the learning curve through the evaluation of skin-to-skin (STS) time and postoperative complications rate.

Does smoking influence the clinical outcomes of robotic ventral hernia repair? A propensity score matching analysis study.

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of robotic ventral hernia repair (RVHR) between smokers and non-smokers. Data for patients undergoing RVHR between 2012 and 2022 were collected. Patients were assigned to either smoking (+) or smoking (-) groups, according to their smoking status in the last 3 months prior to their procedure.
