Background And Objectives: Despite an increased adaptation of robotic adrenalectomy, its advantages over laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) have not been defined. The aim of the study was to compare perioperative outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic lateral transabdominal adrenalectomy using a large single-center experience.

Methods: This was a retrospective single center study. Within 22 years, patients who underwent laparoscopic and robotic transabdominal lateral adrenalectomy were identified from a prospective institutional review board-approved database. Clinical and perioperative outcomes were compared using Mann-Whitney U and χ  tests.

Results: There were 190 patients who underwent laparoscopic and 281 patients who underwent robotic transabdominal lateral adrenalectomy. The groups were comparable except for a higher percentage of female patients in the robotic group. For robotic versus LA, operative time and hospital stay were shorter, in addition to less blood loss, conversion to open and margin positivity, for pheochromocytoma and malignant tumors. Morbidity rates were similar between the two groups.

Conclusions: Despite the limitations of a retrospective design, this large study demonstrates significant advantages of robotic versus laparoscopic transabdominal lateral adrenalectomy in terms of perioperative outcomes and margin clearance.

Background: Remnant cholesterol (remnant-C) contributes to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), particularly in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism. Patients with impaired glucose metabolism and ASCVD remain at significant residual risk after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the role of remnant-C in this population has not yet been investigated.

Background: Gene signatures derived from transcriptomic-causal networks offer potential for tailoring clinical care in cancer treatment by identifying predictive and prognostic biomarkers. This study aimed to uncover such signatures in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients to aid treatment decisions.

Methods: We constructed transcriptomic-causal networks and integrated gene interconnectivity into overall survival (OS) analysis to control for confounding genes.

Objectives: Postoperative complications after major surgery, especially in vascular procedures, are associated with a significant increase in costs and mortality. Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) have a notable impact on morbidity and mortality. The primary aim of this present study was to evaluate the effects of spinal anesthesia compared with general anesthesia on the incidence of PPCs in patients undergoing lower extremity bypass surgery.
