Background: Robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (RANU) has been more and more applied since 21st century. However, the high cost limits the widespread use of robot system. A relatively low-cost new robotic surgical system (KD-SR-01™) has recently been developed in China.
Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of the KD-SR-01™ Surgical System in RANU.
Methods: Patients with upper-tract urothelial tumor and undergoing RANU with the KD-SR-01™ Robotic System were prospectively included. Surgeries were all performed by a single surgeon. Patients' demographic and clinical characteristics, perioperative data, pathology findings, and follow-up data were collected. . 9 patients were enrolled in this study, and the surgeries went smoothly with no conversion to open. The 1 docking time, the 2 docking time, and the operation time were 222 s, 169 s, and 202 min respectively. No equipment-related adverse events occurred. All patients were followed up for at least 3 months, and one patient experienced bladder recurrences. . This study is the first to verify that the KD-SR-01™ robot system is effective and safe in RANU and has advantages in terms of its rotation boom during redocking and its price. This trial is registered with ChiCTR2200056672.

Background And Purpose: To evaluate various anatomical parameters and their relationship to chorda tympani nerve (CTN) injury and round window (RW) access during cochlear implantation.
Materials And Methods: Ultra-high-resolution CT images of 66 patients were retrospectively reviewed and compared with operative reports. The facial recess and the round window were analyzed, mainly using the chorda-facial angle (CFA), the width of the facial recess, the CTN-tympanic annulus distance, the RW-mastoid portion of the facial nerve angle, and the type of RW.

Purpose: Prolonged length of stay (PLOS) can lead to resource misallocation and higher complication risks. However, there is no consensus on defining PLOS for endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery (ETPS). Therefore, we investigated the impact of varying PLOS definitions on factors associated with PLOS in patients undergoing ETPS.

This study aims to improve the quality of clinical treatment and nursing care to standardize perioperative management for patients with liver tumors undergoing co-ablation system therapy. The Committee of Ablation Therapy in Oncology, China Anti-Cancer Association; the Expert Committee on Ablation Therapy; Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO); and the Committee of Interventional, Perioperative, and Interventional Physician Branch of Chinese Medical Doctors Association organized medical and nursing experts in China. Based on the clinical practice of co-ablation system therapy in China and relevant domestic literature, an expert consensus about perioperative management was developed.

Glioblastomas (GBMs) are the most common and aggressive brain tumors, with a poor prognosis. Effective preclinical models are crucial to investigate GBM biology and develop novel treatments. Syngeneic models, which consist in injecting murine GBM cells into mice with a similar genetic background, offer reproducibility, cost-effectiveness, and an intact immune system, making them ideal for immunotherapy research.
