[First experience with robotic-assisted colorectal surgery].

Robot-assisted surgery has been available at the National Institute of Oncology since 2022. We report on the most important parameters of the colorectal robot-assisted surgery of the first 191 patients. Robotically assisted rectal surgery was compared with our previous laparoscopic and open surgical activities.

[Robot-assisted esophageal surgery].

The introduction of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophageal surgery (RAMIE) represents a significant advancement in minimally invasive surgery. The robot system typically includes a high-resolution 3D camera and specially maneuverable instruments that are controlled by the surgeon from a console. By reducing the trauma caused by the intervention, this method allows for faster recovery compared to traditional open surgeries.

Emerging human alveolar echinococcosis in Hungary (2003-2018): a retrospective case series analysis from a multi-centre study.

Background: Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) caused by Echinococcus multilocularis is an underreported, often misdiagnosed and mistreated parasitic disease mainly due to its low incidence. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of human AE patients in Hungary for the first time.

Method: Between 2003 and 2018, epidemiological and clinical data of suspected AE patients were collected retrospectively from health database management systems.

[Comparison of open and laparoscopic minor liver resections for malignant tumours - based on the experience of the first 50 cases].

Introduction: Laparoscopic resection of liver malignancies is gaining acceptance. Besides the advantages of minimally-invasive techniques, publications so far show no oncologic compromise of laparoscopy.

Aim: Our aim was to compare the results of our first fifty laparoscopic minor liver resections with traditional open procedures.

[Not Available].

Unlabelled: A 35-year-old female presented with epigastric symptoms and fatigue. Gastroscopy revealed a 2 cm ulcerated lesion in the antrum region. Biopsy confirmed an invasive intestinal type adenocc.

[Metastatic malignant melanoma of the oesophagus: case report].
