European multicentre analysis of the implementation of robotic complete mesocolic excision for right-sided colon tumours.

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.

Robotic trans-abdominal retromuscular hernia repair for medium-sized midline hernias: midterm outcomes and surgical site occurrence (SSO) analysis in 120 patients.

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.

Robotic versus laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Can they be compared? A narrative review and personal considerations disproving low-level evidence.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold standard for the treatment of symptomatic gallstones, acute cholecystitis, and acute gallstone pancreatitis. In recent years, the development and diffusion of robotic surgery have provided surgeons with the opportunity to apply this innovative approach to cholecystectomy, yielding interesting results. However, as with any new surgical technique, robotic cholecystectomy (RC) has met with skepticism within the surgical community.
