A 66-year-old woman presented with discharge of necrotic tissue and bleeding from the vagina during uterine cancer screening. She was diagnosed with lower rectal cancer cT4b(vagina)N3M0, cStage Ⅲc. As the tumor protruded into the lumen from the posterior vaginal wall, preservation of the anterior vaginal wall was challenging. Robot-assisted total pelvic exenteration with vulvectomy was performed. The patient was discharged without any apparent postoperative complications. Upon histopathological examination, the lesion was identified as being pT4bN0M0, pStage Ⅱc. Six months after the surgery, no recurrence or decline in the performance status was noted.

Background: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is more precise and flexible than video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. This study compared the early postoperative functional recovery of patients who underwent triportal RATS with that of patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (UVATS) for segmentectomy.

Methods: This observational, prospective study included 172 patients with clinical stage I or II peripheral NSCLC who underwent RATS or UVATS segmentectomy.

Article Synopsis
  • The rise of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) in modern medicine has led to increased concerns about its environmental impact, with limited quantitative data available.
  • This study quantifies the waste produced from multi-specialty RAS procedures over a time span at an Australian public hospital, measuring the weight of instruments and consumables used.
  • The analysis found that total waste was 2,948.9 kg, mostly from single-use items, highlighting the need for strategies to reduce the environmental footprint as RAS becomes more common.

China; Department of Digital Dental Implant, Affliated Stomatological Hospital of Jiamusi University & Stomatology College of Jiamusi University, Jiamusi, Heilongjiang Province, P.R. China. Electronic address:

Objectives: This study evaluated the accuracy of intraoral scanning (IOS) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data registration (ICR) in robotic computer-assisted implant surgery (r-CAIS) using six different intraoral scanners, considering the impact of surgeon experience.

Methods: A total of 112 standardized mandibular partially edentulous models were assigned to six experimental groups and one control group based on the intraoral scanner used. In the control group, preoperative CBCT data were registered with CBCT data from a model containing an optical tracking marker (OT-Marker).

Objective: To compare functional and surgical outcomes of robot-assisted ileal ureter replacement (RAIUR) vs robot-assisted kidney autotransplantation (RAKAT).

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent RAIUR or RAKAT for long ureteric strictures at eight European tertiary centres (2017-2024). Primary endpoints were maintenance of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and postoperative complications within 30 days of surgery, described using the Clavien-Dindo classification.
