Robotic surgery can provide less surgical trauma than conventional surgery, but differences between robotic and thoracoscopic surgery for atrial septal defect (ASD) repair are not well documented. To explore whether ASD can be repaired by thoracoscopic surgery or robotic surgery, which procedure is less invasive, and the difference in outcomes between these two procedures, this article studies 160 patients undergoing ASD repair at our institution. Sixty-five patients underwent total thoracoscopic surgery and 95 patients underwent total endoscopic robotic surgery. Propensity score matching yielded 64 well-matched patient pairs. Surgical data and early postoperative outcomes between the two matched groups were analyzed and compared. The results show that thoracoscopic and robotic surgery to repair ASD are both safe and reliable, and the early curative effect is good. However, regardless of similar complication rates, robotic surgery has a shorter time, less postoperative drainage, and faster recovery than thoracoscopic surgery.

Purpose: In recent years, major advancements have been made in rectal cancer surgery with the introduction of new techniques such as robotic surgery and indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI). This study aimed to evaluate the comprehensive risk factors for anastomotic leakage (AL) following rectal cancer surgery, incorporating recently introduced techniques and other existing factors, to reflect current practices.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 304 patients who underwent either robotic or laparoscopic anterior resection between January 2019 and December 2023.

The adoption of robotic surgery has been widespread and increasing amongst gynecologic surgeons given the ability to decrease morbidity. It is important that plastic surgeons adjust their reconstructive algorithm to ascertain the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery. Herein we report our outcomes of robotic-assisted rectus abdominis muscle reconstruction of the posterior vaginal wall along with a current literature review on robotic-assisted reconstructive pelvic surgery.

The artificial urinary sphincter has been an effective treatment for stress urinary incontinence caused by intrinsic sphincter deficiency in women. However, the use of this device has been limited by the technical difficulties and risks associated with the open implantation procedure. Preliminary studies using robotic techniques have shown promising results, but only one small study has compared robotic to open procedures.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is prevalent among men over 70. Treatment may involve interventions like radical prostatectomy. The objective of this study was to investigate the combination of adverse pathology patterns on PCa progression through the Briganti 2012 nomogram and EAU risk classes in elderly patients treated with robotic surgery.

Cardiac myxomas are benign tumors of the heart. They occur mostly in the left atrium. The preferred treatment is surgical resection, which can be performed via conventional median sternotomy, minimally invasive, or robotic-assisted approaches.
