Objectives/hypothesis: To investigate the surgical, oncological, and functional outcomes of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the treatment of supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma.
Study Design: Retrospective chart review.
Methods: The charts of patients treated by TORS supraglottic laryngectomy (SGL) in an academic medical center were reviewed. The following outcomes were studied according to the tumor location: average robotic setup and operative times, mean estimated blood loss, postoperative complications, need of tracheotomy, refeeding characteristics, mean hospital stay, need of neck dissection and adjuvant therapy, 5-year local and regional controls, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS).
Results: Seventy-five patients underwent TORS SGL. Tumors were classified as cT1 (32%), cT2 (52%), and cT3 (16%). Average robotic setup and operative times and the mean estimated blood loss were 15 minutes, 55 minutes, and 20 mL, respectively. The mean follow-up period ranged from 2 to 5 years. The 5-year OS and DFS were 80.2% and 94.3%, respectively. Overall, 34.6% of patients received adjuvant radiotherapy. The majority of patients (92%) restarted an oral diet within 24 to 48 hours postsurgery. Transient tracheotomy was performed in 8% of patients. Postoperative hemorrhages occurred in 12 patients (16.0%), lengthening the hospital stay (mean = 6.8 days). There were no outcome differences regarding the tumor location.
Conclusions: TORS is an effective and safe therapeutic approach for early- and intermediate-stages cancers. Oncological outcomes may be quite similar to other surgical approaches, including transoral laser and open surgeries. Future randomized controlled studies are needed for comparing TORS SGL with other surgical procedures.

Optimal management of T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) remains controversial. This study compared the long-term outcomes of endoscopic resection with additional surgical resection (ER + ASR) versus primary surgical resection (PS) in patients with T1 CRC and identified risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM). This retrospective cohort study included 373 patients with T1 CRC who underwent ER + ASR or PS between January 2010 and December 2020 at a tertiary center in Taiwan.

Introduction: Despite its therapeutic advantages, postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) increases the risk of complications and often leads to poor cosmesis in women undergoing breast reconstruction. Preoperative radiotherapy followed by skin-sparing mastectomy and deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction is technically feasible, with low rates of surgical complications and good short-term oncological outcomes. Further evaluation in a randomised trial comparing preoperative radiotherapy versus conventional PMRT in breast reconstruction is required to assess both oncological and patient-reported outcomes (PROs).

Background: Transperitoneal approach to robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) have been preferred in the last decades because of the use of multi-port robotic platforms. However, this approach is linked to notable issues, such as pneumoperitoneum and lateral decubitus position, which is associated with potential soft tissues injuries, and it is a time-consuming procedure. Single-port (SP) platform was introduced to potentially address these issues.
