AI Article Synopsis
- This study investigates patients' awareness and perceptions of robot-assisted surgery (RAS) to improve patient education and decision-making.
- A total of 262 patients from the Obstetrics & Gynaecology department completed questionnaires, revealing that familiarity with technology and prior experience with RAS significantly influenced their preferences for this surgical method.
- The findings emphasize the importance of clear patient counseling about robotic surgery, including its meaning, the surgeon's role, and the robot's appearance to counter misinformation and address any misconceptions.
Article Abstract
Background: We attempt to understand our patients' awareness and perception about robot-assisted surgery (RAS), to be able to educate them better and help them make informed decisions.
Methods: Patients who visited the Obstetrics & Gynaecology out-patient department were given questionnaires. Two hundred and sixty-two completed questionnaires were analysed.
Results: Comfort with technology was significantly associated with the patients' knowledge of the robot's appearance. Correct identification of the meaning of RAS, the surgeon's role, and appearance of the robot were also individually associated with preference towards RAS. Those who had undergone RAS before favoured it significantly more than those who did not have a history of RAS.
Conclusion: Counselling is important to help patients get over misinformation. Patients need to be explained that the robot does not have autonomy. The three main concepts to be focused on are-meaning of robotic surgery, surgeon's position/role during the surgery, and appearance of the robot. Limitations also need to be discussed.

Choledochal Cyst in Children Under Six Months: Is Da Vinci Robot-Assisted Surgery More Advantageous?
J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A
January 2025
Department of General Surgery, The Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health, Hangzhou, China.
Surgery for choledochal cysts (CDC) in children younger than 6 months is relatively rare. We report our experience and compare the results between Da Vinci robot-assisted hepaticojejunostomy (RAHJ) and laparoscopic-assisted hepaticojejunostomy (LAHJ) in children younger than 6 months to treat CDC. A retrospective study was conducted on all children under 6 months of age who underwent RAHJ or LAHJ at the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, from July 2018 to November 2023.

Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) may reduce surgical complications compared to open kidney transplantation (OKT), but no randomised trials have explored this to date. The aim of the present study is to explore the feasibility of introducing RAKT at our institution, making it available in deceased donor transplantation and evaluate early surgical outcomes prior to performing a randomised trial comparing RAKT to OKT. RAKT was performed at Department of Urology, Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, Denmark.

Sengupta Urology, Glen Waverley, Vic, Australia.
This study compares laparoscopic (LRP) and robotic-assisted (RARP) radical prostatectomy to identify external and internal disruptive events, focusing on tasks that require heightened attention and coordination among the surgical team. Observations conducted across three hospitals in Australia and China. Data collection was rigorously ensured through the analysis of video recordings and consultations with surgeons, followed by statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test.

We conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) on cadavers in the prone position, utilizing telesurgical support through the double-surgeon cockpit (double SC) of the novel Japanese-made surgical robot system, hinotori (Medicaroid, Kobe, Japan). The Cadaveric Anatomy and Surgical Training Laboratory (CAST Lab) at Hokkaido University and Kushiro City General Hospital (KCGH) are interconnected by a dedicated 1 Gbps internet line, spanning 300 km. An operation unit and double SC were installed at CAST Lab, whereas the double SC proctor was installed at KCGH.

Department of Surgery, Baptist Health South Florida, Miami, FL, USA.
Background: Available reports of surgeon efficiency when transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic-assisted (RA) inguinal hernia repair (IHR) are retrospective or describe single-center experience. The purpose of this study is to provide a prospective, multi-surgeon, multi-center assessment of surgeon efficiency when transitioning from Lap-IHR to RA-IHR.
Methods: General surgeons with Lap-IHR experience (≥300 Lap-IHRs prior to the study) but with no robotic experience (no RA cases one year prior to the study) consented to participate in this prospective, observational pilot study of their surgical efficiency as they adopted RA-IHR.
