Background: Minimal invasive surgery in hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) surgery has been accepted worldwide in recent years. However, applications of single-site laparoscopic surgery in complex HBP surgery have been limited due to difficulty in manoeuvring instruments and the limited range of motion resulting from clashing instruments.

Methods: To overcome the limitations, we have used the Da Vinci single-site surgical platform with one additional port in a Da Vinci Xi system to perform donor right hepatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and combined resection of the common bile duct and spleen vessels preserving distal pancreatectomy.

Results: In selected patients, using a robotic single-site plus one port system allowed the successful completion of complex HBP surgery.

Discussion: Complex HBP surgery can be performed safely in a stable environment using the robotic single-site plus one port system. Further exploration of a robotic single-site plus one port in complex HBP surgery is necessary.

Background: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic single-site hysterectomy is popular among patients and surgeons due to good cosmetic outcomes and fast recovery. However, questions remain such as loss of triangulation and instrument collision. Our aim is to test the feasibility and safety of a purpose-designed single-site robotic surgical platform mainly in hysterectomies.

This study applied cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis to evaluate trends in operative time and blood loss, It aims to identify key milestones in mastering extraperitoneal single-site robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (ss-RARP). A cohort of 100 patients who underwent ss-RARP, performed by a single surgeon at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between March 2021 and June 2023, was retrospectively analyzed. To evaluate the learning curve, the CUSUM (Cumulative Sum Control Chart) technique was applied, revealing the progression and variability over time.

Background: Kidney transplantation is the ultimate treatment for end-stage kidney disease. Function of the kidney graft is not only dependent on medical factors but also on a complication-free surgical procedure. In the event of major surgical complications, the kidney graft is potentially lost and the patient will return to the waiting list which may be long.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between body mass index (BMI) and prostate volume by analyzing pre and postoperative data.
  • Significant correlations were found between BMI and prostate volume across various measurement methods, including digital rectal exam and surgery specimen weight.
  • The research concluded that higher BMI is associated with increased prostate volume, emphasizing the need to consider BMI in prostate assessments.

Purpose: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard procedure for benign gallbladder disease. However, reducing ports still causes frustration when using various instruments. We investigated early perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic single site + 1 cholecystectomy using ArtiSential instruments (ArtiSential laparoscopic cholecystectomy [ALC], LIVSMED).
