Our hospital introduced the da Vinci Xi Surgical System in April 2022. At the same time, laparoscopic surgery was also introduced to produce endoscopic surgical skill qualification system: qualified surgeon. Open surgery for trainees was also continued as before, and young surgeons were instructed to always keep their motivation high. After the introduction of robotic surgery, conferences that were accessible to trainees were held on a regular basis. In addition, the environment was designed to allow anyone to train da Vinci Surgical System. The introduction of robotic surgery has certainly reduced the number of procedures performed by trainees, especially in rectal cancer. However, surgical outcomes were better after the introduction of robotic surgery. The trend was similar for both open and laparoscopic surgery. We report on our efforts to introduce robot-assisted surgery and the actual situation in which surgeons at various stages of their education can work together to achieve a win-win situation.

Introduction: The Retzius-sparing technique for prostate cancer has shown favorable continence recovery outcomes. Magnetic resonance imaging after Retzius-sparing showed that the bladder anterior wall is widely connected to the abdominal wall, which contributes to urinary continence. We aimed to evaluate whether the Peritoneal Fixation technique, which involves suturing the anterior bladder wall onto the abdominal wall above the pubic bone, contributes to the recovery of urinary continence.

The KangDuo Surgical Robot-1500 (KD-SR-1500) is a newly developed surgical robot. We aim to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of the KD-SR-1500 system for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). This prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical study was conducted among 18-75-year-old patients with suspected T1-2N0M0 prostate cancer scheduled for RARP.

This study designs and develops a wearable exoskeleton piano assistance system for individuals recovering from neurological injuries, aiming to help users regain the ability to perform complex tasks such as playing the piano. While soft robotic exoskeletons have proven effective in rehabilitation therapy and daily activity assistance, challenges remain in performing highly dexterous tasks due to structural complexity and insufficient motion accuracy. To address these issues, we developed a modular division method based on multi-domain mapping and a top-down process model.

Introduction: In the field of medical listening assessments,accurate transcription and effective cognitive load management are critical for enhancing healthcare delivery. Traditional speech recognition systems, while successful in general applications often struggle in medical contexts where the cognitive state of the listener plays a significant role. These conventional methods typically rely on audio-only inputs and lack the ability to account for the listener's cognitive load, leading to reduced accuracy and effectiveness in complex medical environments.

Introduction: The use of robots for arthroplasty is gaining momentum in recent times to provide accuracy in bony cuts and alignment. We aimed to study the efficacy of coronal plane correction with a new robotic system (VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Surgery) and also the effect of the learning curve of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) on outcomes. We hypothesize that the benefits of RATKA are not limited to only surgeons having specific training in robotic knee replacement.
