The stress for surgeons: exploring stress entities with the robotic senhance surgical system.

Robotic surgery is on its way to revolutionizing traditional surgical procedures, offering precise and minimally invasive techniques hypothesized to shorten recovery times and improve patient outcomes. While there have been multiple publications on robotic systems' medical and procedural achievements, more emphasis should be put on the surgeon's experience, especially in comparison with laparoscopic surgery. The present report aims to systematically examine the stress impact on surgeons by comparing the robotic Senhance Surgical System (Asensus Surgical, Durham, North Carolina, U.

Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy: a multicenter experience with the Senhance Surgical System.

Purpose: Robotic-assisted surgery for radical prostatectomy is becoming a standard treatment, and respective implementations are expanding. The Senhance Surgical System is a robotic system with existing but limited data on radical prostatectomy, including a lack of multicenter study experiences. The TRUST study aims to fill this gap and explores observations for radical prostatectomy with the Senhance Surgical System.

International Society of University Colon and Rectal Surgeons survey of surgeons' preference on rectal cancer treatment.

Purpose: Rectal cancer treatment has a wide range of possible approaches from radical extirpative surgery to nonoperative watchful waiting following chemoradiotherapy, with or without, additional chemotherapy. Our goal was to assess the personal opinion of active practicing surgeons on rectal cancer treatment if he/she was the patient.

Methods: A panel of the International Society of University Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ISUCRS) selected 10 questions that were included in a questionnaire that included other items including demographics.

Cutaneous Melanoma with Tonsillar Metastasis: Treatment with Cryoablation.

Metastasis of cutaneous melanoma to the oral cavity is a rare condition. Male patient with cutaneous melanoma metastasis to right tonsil 2 years after radical skin lesion resection was treated with surgery: tonsillectomy and later resection of soft palate were performed. Two years later the patient was diagnosed with progressive disease to right tonsil and soft palate.

Low Anterior Resection Syndrome: What Have We Learned Assessing a Large Population?

Our goal was to assess the rate of symptoms commonly included in LARS score in a large general population. The study was based on a population-based design. We disseminated LARS scores through community online platforms and general practitioners throughout Lithuania.

Hand Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Cancer: Surgical and Oncological Outcomes from a Single Tertiary Referral Centre.

The aim of this study was to report overall experience, perioperative and long-term survival results in a single tertiary referral center in Lithuania with hand assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) for colorectal cancer. A prospectively maintained database included 467 patients who underwent HALS for left-sided colon and rectal cancer, from April 2006 to October 2016. All those operations were performed by three consultant surgeons and nine surgical residents, in all cases assisted by one of the same consultant surgeons.

Predictors of Quality of Life Six Years after Curative Colorectal Cancer Surgery: Results of the Prospective Multicenter Study.

: Improving early diagnosis and advances in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment leads to longer survival of these patients. The purpose of this study was to identify the main surgical factors affecting long-term Quality of life (QoL) among colorectal cancer patients after surgery. : QoL was prospectively evaluated in patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer resection operations in three CRC surgery centers of Lithuania using EORTC generic (QLQC-30) and disease-specific (QLQ-CR29) questionnaires at the time of preoperative admission and 1, 24, and 72 months after surgery.

Robotic colorectal surgery using the Senhance robotic system: a single center experience.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the initial experience of a single robotic center with the Senhance robotic systems (TransEnterix Surgical Inc, Morrisville, NC, USA) in colorectal surgery.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of patients who underwent colorectal surgery using the Senhance robotic systems, from November 2018 to November 2020. Perioperative, intraoperative, and short-term postoperative data were assessed.

Short-term clinical and functional results of rectal wall suture defect after transanal endoscopic microsurgery-a prospective cohort study.

Purpose: Our goal was to assess the outcomes of rectal wall suture during the early and late periods after transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and long-term bowel function.

Methods: Patients who underwent TEM for rectal neoplasms from May 2017 to March 2021 were prospectively included. A total of 70 patients were enrolled.

The Role of Traditional Acupuncture in Low Anterior Resection Syndrome Treatment: A Pilot Study.

Background: There is limited evidence on the efficacy of acupuncture in bowel dysfunction treatment.

Objective: The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the potential value of acupuncture in the treatment of low anterior resection syndrome.

Design: This was an open-design pilot study.

Inguinal hernia TAPP repair using Senhance robotic platform: first multicenter report from the TRUST registry.

Purpose: The purpose of this article was to provide feasibility and safety results of robotic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (Robotic TAPP).

Methods: We included 271 cases of robotic inguinal hernia TAPP repair using the Senhance robotic platform from four different centers between March 2017 and March 2020. Key data points were intraoperative and postoperative complication rate, operating time, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain score and time required to get back to a daily routine that were inserted in the TransEnterix European Patient Registry for Robotic assisted Laparoscopic Procedures in Urology, Abdominal Surgery, Thoracic and Gynecologic Surgery (TRUST).

Local Perianal Anesthetic Infiltration Is Safe and Effective for Anorectal Surgery.

General or regional anesthesia is predominantly used for anorectal surgery, however in the recent years more attention was drawn in the use of local anesthesia for anorectal surgery. In this study we present the technique and results of the use of local perianal anesthetic infiltration for minor anorectal operations. In this cohort study patients undergoing surgery for hemorrhoids, anal fissures and low anal fistulas were included.
