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.

Background: Since its outbreak in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has diverted resources from non-urgent and elective procedures, leading to diagnosis and treatment delays, with an increased number of neoplasms at advanced stages worldwide. The aims of this study were to quantify the reduction in surgical activity for indeterminate thyroid nodules during the COVID-19 pandemic; and to evaluate whether delays in surgery led to an increased occurrence of aggressive tumours.

Methods: In this retrospective, international, cross-sectional study, centres were invited to participate in June 22, 2022; each centre joining the study was asked to provide data from medical records on all surgical thyroidectomies consecutively performed from Jan 1, 2019, to Dec 31, 2021.

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.

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).
