Objective: To determine the outcomes of robotic surgeries using the Da Vinci robotic surgical system (DVSS) at Pakistan's largest urological tertiary healthcare system.
Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery, Division of Urology, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi, Pakistan, from March 2017 to December 2021.
Methodology: Hospital records of patients who underwent robotic urological surgeries were assessed for their outcomes in terms of blood loss, mortality, system malfunction, and conversion to open surgery. Descriptive statistics were determined.
Results: A total of 550 procedures were performed. The mean age recorded was 39.58±16.83 years. The mean blood loss recorded was 255.611±353.57 ml; there were 3 cases of malfunction. Forty cases were converted to open surgery, and the mortality rate was 1.1%.
Conclusion: Minimally invasive surgical techniques have high precision, fewer complications, and lower morbidity rates. Using DVSS for surgical interventions is both effective and safe.
Key Words: Minimally invasive surgery, Da Vinci robotic surgical system, Robotic surgery.

Purpose: Assessing surgical skills is vital for training surgeons, but creating objective, automated evaluation systems is challenging, especially in robotic surgery. Surgical procedures generally involve dissection and exposure (D/E), and their duration and proportion can be used for skill assessment. This study aimed to develop an AI model to acquire D/E parameters in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and verify if these parameters could distinguish between novice and expert surgeons.

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.
