Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the outcomes of robot-assisted and laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy across 50 European centers, focusing on major morbidity and mortality rates among patients from 2009 to 2020.
- - The results show no significant differences in major morbidity and 30-day mortality rates between the two surgical methods, but robot-assisted surgery had lower conversion rates and better lymph node retrieval.
- - Laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy had advantages like shorter operation times and lower rates of postoperative pancreatic complications, suggesting it may be the preferable approach in certain aspects.
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of robotic surgery compared to laparoscopy or open surgery for inguinal (IHR) and ventral (VHR) hernia repair.
Methods: PubMed and EMBASE were searched up to July 2022. Meta-analyses were performed for postoperative complications, surgical site infections (SSI), seroma/hematoma, hernia recurrence, operating time (OT), intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative bowel injury, conversion to open surgery, length of stay (LOS), mortality, reoperation rate, readmission rate, use of opioids, time to return to work and time to return to normal activities.
Background: The European registry for minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (E-MIPS) collects data on laparoscopic and robotic MIPS in low- and high-volume centers across Europe.
Methods: Analysis of the first year (2019) of the E-MIPS registry, including minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) and minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD). Primary outcome was 90-day mortality.
Background: Liver resection is indicated for resectable liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors. Minimally invasive liver resection offers decreased blood loss, reduces pain, reduces postoperative complications, and reduces time to functional recovery. However, access to posterior section remains difficult with conventional laparoscopic tools.

Objective: To evaluate the short and midterm outcomes of ambulatory colectomy for cancer.
Methods: This was a two-centre, observational study of a database maintained prospectively between 2013 and 2021.
