Background: This study aimed to compare short- and long-term outcomes after robotic versus laparoscopic approach in patients undergoing curative surgery for rectal cancer.
Methods: Patients undergoing elective robotic and laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer were included. Perioperative clinical characteristics, postoperative short- and long-term outcomes were compared between groups.
Results: There were 72 and 44 patients in robotic (RG) and laparoscopic (LG) groups respectively. No differences were detected regarding patients' demographics, histopathologic outcomes, conversion rates and 30-day overall postoperative complication rates. Operative time was longer in the RG (341 ± 111.7 vs. 263 ± 97.5 min, p = 0.001) and length of stay was longer in the LG (4.4 ± 1.9 vs. 6.4 ± 2.9 days, p = 0.001). The 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates were similar (97.1% and 94.9%, p = 0.78; 86.2% and 82.7%, p = 0.72) between the groups.
Conclusion: This study showed both short and long-term outcomes of a limited number of included patients between the robotic and laparoscopic surgery were similar. However, future studies and randomized trials are necessary to establish these findings.

Perioperative and critical care management following penetrating thoracic trauma represents a complex challenge. Those who survive the early trauma approach and reach the hospital alive often remain in critical condition, with cardiocirculatory complications and major pulmonary injuries. Additional difficulty arises from the presence of a weapon , particularly in a dorsal location, which limits patient positioning, and the safe manipulation of both the weapon and the patient.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, complex inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that presents significant therapeutic challenges. Despite the availability of a wide range of treatments, many patients experience primary non-response, secondary loss of response, or adverse events, limiting the overall effectiveness of current therapies. Clinical trials often report response rates below 60%, partly due to stringent inclusion criteria.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and subsequent surgical reconstruction are exceedingly common orthopaedic procedures. Surgical technique and graft preparation techniques continue to evolve as surgeons seek to increase surgical outcomes and decrease recovery time. As such, there is significant interest in identifying tools and techniques that may enhance the surgical process for patients undergoing an ACL reconstruction.

Objective: The Halle continuum (HaKom) is a course for doctors undergoing postgraduate medical training in southern Saxony-Anhalt. It revises the skills and knowledge acquired during undergraduate medical training and develops them on an individual and needs-driven basis. The development and establishment of the three-day ready for (resident on-call) duty () course, which has been held four times a year since 2020, will be used as an example to present the overall HaKom curriculum.
