Aim: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) is an oncologically driven technique for treating right colon cancer. While laparoscopic CME is technically demanding and has been associated with more complications, the robotic approach might reduce morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess the safety of stepwise implementation of robotic CME.

- Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome primarily diagnosed in children, characterized by severe anemia and potential congenital defects.
- Diagnosis of DBA involves identifying variants in ribosomal protein genes, but adults can also be diagnosed, sometimes years after being misclassified with other conditions like pure red cell aplasia.
- The article discusses three adult cases of DBA misdiagnosed as PRCA and reviews 16 additional cases, while also suggesting possible treatment options for affected individuals.
Robotic surgery has become a popular method for treating ventral hernias due to its promising peri-operative outcomes. However, the long-term results of this approach are still unclear. In this study, 120 patients underwent robotic trans-abdominal retromuscular mesh placement (r-TARM) with a mean follow-up period of 18.
