The adoption of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery in urology is becoming increasingly frequent. Initially, its use was essentially limited to oncological surgery, such as radical prostatectomy. Its success lies in the enhanced dexterity, the three-dimensional vision, and the ability to easily suture intracorporeally. All these advantages have enabled many pioneer surgeons to develop techniques in the field of functional surgery, such as artificial urinary sphincter implantation and sacrocolpopexy, and as for reconstructive surgery, ureteral reconstructions and enterocystoplasties. This article provides a brief yet rich review of the recently innovated techniques and the now minimally invasive feasibility of previously highly complex procedures in conventional laparoscopy.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) surgeries are commonly performed using either robotic-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS) or laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS). This study aimed to compare clinical and surgical outcomes between RACS and LCS for CRC patients.
Methods: We included 225 patients from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital (TJMUCH) between January 2021 and June 2024, divided into RACS (n=82) and LCS (n=143) groups.

This case reports a 44-year-old female who presented to the gynecologic oncology clinic status post robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy with intraperitoneal unprotected power morcellation in 2012, with an incidental finding of three conglomerate solid masses in the abdomen above the uterus, with each mass measuring approximately 15.5 cm. The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy where multiple masses greater than 10 cm were found scattered throughout the abdominal cavity.

Purpose: Pediatric-onset Crohn's disease (CD) presents with a more aggressive course than adults. Surgical treatment is still necessary in many patients. The laparoscopic technique for treating terminal ileal CD is deemed safe and feasible, with the advantage to perform an intra-corporeal anastomosis (ICA).

This study aimed to explore the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of using KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) for distal gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer. We prospectively enrolled patients undergoing KD-SR-01 assisted distal gastrectomy at our center from September 2023 to December 2023. Data on baseline characteristics, perioperative details, and short-term follow-up were collected prospectively.
