Background: The role of laparoscopic surgery (Lap) and robotic surgery (Rob) for radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) is not clear. We summarized the safety and feasibility of Lap and Rob for HC.
Methods: A search of all HC studies in English published on PubMed up to April 2020 was conducted. References from retrieved articles were reviewed to broaden the search.
Results: In total, 23 reports were enrolled: 15 involving Lap, seven using Rob and one study reporting a minimally invasive approach (Lap or Rob, not specified). A total of 205 cases of HC were documented (Lap/Rob/not specified, 99/101/5): 37 cases of Bismuth type-I (Lap/Rob, 17/20), 22 cases of Bismuth type-II (Lap/Rob, 15/7), 68 cases of type-III (Lap/Rob, 39/29) and 13 cases of type-IV (Lap/Rob, 9/4). The pooled prevalence of R0 resection was 80.1% (Lap/Rob, 85.9%/71.0%). The weighted mean for operative time, blood loss and post-operative hospital stay was 458.4 min (Lap/Rob, 423.3/660.8 min), 615.3 mL (Lap/Rob, 521.0/1188.5 mL) and 14.0 days (Lap/Rob, 14.0/13.7 days), respectively. The pooled prevalence of conversion to open surgery, post-operative complications, and perioperative mortality was 9.1% (Lap/Rob, 12.2%/3.8%), 47.2% (Lap/Rob, 38.4%/61.3%) and 3.0% (Lap/Rob, 4.0%/2.0%), respectively.
Conclusion: With innovations in technology and gradual accumulation of surgical experience, the feasibility and safety of performing Lap and Rob for HC will improve.

: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) has been standardized over the last 20 years. At our institution, only n = 3 rob arms are used for RARP. In addition, n = 2, 12 mm lap trocars are placed for the bedside assistant symmetrically at the midclavicular lines, which allows for direct pelvic triangulation and greater involvement of the assisting surgeon.

Objective: To assess 30-day outcomes of da Vinci robotic-assisted (dV-RAS) versus laparoscopic/thoracoscopic (lap/VATS) or open oncologic surgery.
Summary Background Data: Complex procedures in deep/narrow spaces especially benefit from dV-RAS. Prior procedure-specific comparisons are not generalizable.

Background: Dorsal approach is the potentially effective strategy for minimally invasive liver resection. This study aimed to compare the outcomes between robot-assisted and laparoscopic hemihepatectomy through dorsal approach.
Methods: We compared the patients who underwent robot-assisted hemihepatectomy (Rob-HH) and who had laparoscopic hemihepatectomy (Lap-HH) through dorsal approach between January 2020 and December 2022.
Postoperative urinary incontinence following BPH surgery: insights from a comprehensive national database analysis.

Article Synopsis
- This study looked at urinary incontinence (UI) in patients who had surgery for a prostate condition called BPH.
- Out of over 274,000 patients treated, about 11,000 had ongoing UI a year after their surgery.
- Some types of surgeries had higher chances of causing UI, like HoLEP and PVP, while others like Prostatic Artery Embolization had much lower rates of this problem.
Low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery in robotic mid-low rectal cancer surgery: a comparative study from a single-center.

Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 1,590 patients showed that low ligation (LL) surgery resulted in faster bowel recovery and fewer complications compared to high ligation (HL), with LL also showing better outcomes in certain postoperative metrics.
- * Robotic surgery (Rob-LL) had a longer operative time but resulted in less blood loss and more lymph nodes retrieved when compared to laparoscopic low ligation (Lap-LL), suggesting that robotic techniques may enhance recovery benefits in rectal cancer surgeries.
