AI Article Synopsis
- - A 53-year-old man with a history of genitourinary tuberculosis and left kidney removal underwent a robotic surgery for bladder augmentation and mass removal due to complications related to his condition.
- - The surgery utilized a fully intracorporeal technique, took 240 minutes to complete, and the patient was discharged 11 days later with significant improvement in bladder capacity.
- - This case highlights the successful application of robotic surgical techniques in complex and less common urological procedures, demonstrating the advancement and potential of this approach in surgical practices.
Article Abstract
Objective: This case is reported to introduce an advanced surgical technique and share our experience with surgeons.
Methods: A 53-year-old man was admitted to the Department of Urology of The Second Xiangya Hospital with complaints of frequent urination and dysuria in June 2018. He had been diagnosed with genitourinary tuberculosis and left renal dysfunction at another hospital and had undergone left nephrectomy 6 months previously. At our institution, intravenous urography showed a normally functioning right solitary kidney. Computed tomography indicated a high-density mass in the abdominal cavity. At the patient’s request, robot-assisted laparoscopic augmentation ileocystoplasty and excision of the intraperitoneal mass was performed.
Results: The surgery was performed using a completely intracorporeal technique. The procedure was completed in 240 minutes, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 11. At the 2-month follow-up, ultrasound examination showed that the maximal bladder capacity had increased to 1000 mL. Intravenous urography revealed no urine leakage, and filling of the bladder was satisfactory.
Conclusions: With the development of robot-assisted surgery, robotic surgery can be successfully used for less frequently performed operations.

Postoperative urinary dysfunction following lateral lymph node dissection for rectal cancer via minimally invasive surgery.
BMC Surg

Department of Coloproctological Surgery, Juntendo University Faculty of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is performed widely since it reduces local recurrence. However, there are some disadvantages to LLND, including technical difficulties and association with postoperative urinary dysfunction. Procedures for LARC have also become more minimally invasive: laparoscopic surgery (LS) has become more common, and use of robot-assisted LS (RALS) is increasing.

The Senhance robotic system (Asensus Surgical, Durham, NC, USA) is an innovative platform for minimally invasive surgery. It enables surgeons to perform precise and cost-effective procedures using reusable instruments and has advanced features such as haptic feedback and eye-tracking camera control. Herein, we present the first application of the "double bipolar method" (DBM) in a Senhance-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy utilizing 3 mm Maryland bipolar instruments.

Introduction: Due to the growing medical need for gynecologic robotic surgery, several robotic surgeries may be performed in a single day at high-volume centers. This study evaluated the safety of performing multiple robot-assisted hysterectomies (RAHs) per day by the same surgeon.
Methods: We reviewed the clinical data of patients who underwent robotic surgery from April 2018 to September 2024 at the Department of Gynecology, Yamanashi Central Hospital, and also examined the surgical type, order, and surgeon for each procedure.
