Background: The purpose of our study was to investigate the mid-term clinical and functional outcomes of robotic-arm assisted Bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BiKA).

Methods: This study reviewed a single-centre prospectively maintained cohort of 50 patients (53 knees) who underwent BiKA (patellofemoral and medial compartment) at 5- and 7-year postoperative follow-up.

Results: Mean follow-up was 7.1 ± 0.1 years (range, 7.0-7.3). Kaplan-Meier survivorship rates at 5 and 7 years were 96% and 93%, respectively. At 7-year follow-up, patient satisfaction was 76% satisfied, 13% neutral, and 11% not satisfied. Mean KSS-FS was 80.5 ± 15.8 (range, 30-100) with 82% of patients reporting walking more than 10 blocks, 89% reporting walking without support, and 100% able to go up and down stairs with 61% requiring use of a rail. Three patients (four knees) underwent revision surgery.

Conclusions: Our study reported excellent survivorship and functional outcomes, and good-excellent satisfaction at mid-term follow-up for robotic-arm assisted BiKA.

Objective: In recent years, the application of robotic assistance in diagnostic and therapeutic endovascular neurointerventional procedures has gained notable attention. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and current indications of robotic-assisted neurointerventions and to assess the degree of robotic assistance and reasons for unplanned manual conversion from robotic assistance.

Methods: We searched Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases following PRISMA guidelines and included studies with ≥ 4 patients reporting on robotic-assisted neurointerventions.

Background: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) procedures have become much more common in the United States in recent years, with >40,000 UKAs performed annually. However, it is estimated that 10% to 40% of UKAs fail and thus require conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In the field of total joint arthroplasty, robotic-assisted surgeries have demonstrated advantages such as better accuracy and precision of implant positioning and improved restoration of a neutral mechanical axis.

Introduction: Robot-assisted instrumentation during total hip arthroplasty (THA) has the potential to improve acetabular cup positioning. This study aimed to evaluate the precision of robotic-arm-assisted THA (rTHA) and assess whether the system can provide accurate cup positioning comparable to conventional THA (cTHA).

Methods: A single-center prospective cohort study consisting of 151 patients who underwent THA (108 rTHA and 43 cTHA).

Introduction: The three-arm approach is mainly selected, despite the multiple robotic arms in da Vinci Xi. This type of surgical setup may provide less autonomy to the console surgeon and result in greater dependence on the bedside surgical assistant. Therefore, the 4th arm is used instead of the assist port, which is why we developed "pure" robot simple hysterectomy (PRSH) as a novel surgical technique, in which all ports are operated by robotic arms.

: This study evaluated the learning curve for robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA TKA) performed by three experienced surgeons, focusing on procedure duration, surgeon satisfaction, and confidence. A prospective study was conducted with three senior arthroplasty surgeons, each performing 15 RA TKA procedures using the Triathlon Knee System with the Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic (RIO) System. Data on preparation, cut-to-suture, and breakdown times were collected.
