Assessing Muscular Pain and Ergonomics Among Robotic Surgeons in China: A Validation.

Introduction: Robotic surgery has transformed minimally invasive procedures, offering precision and efficiency. However, the ergonomic aspects of robotic consoles and their impact on surgeon health remain understudied. This review investigates the burden of ergonomics and muscle fatigue among robotic surgeons in China, comparing the findings to a multinational study.

Robot-assisted Partial Nephrectomy with the Newly Developed KangDuo Surgical Robot Versus the da Vinci Si Surgical System: A Double-center Prospective Randomized Controlled Noninferiority Trial.

Background: The KangDuo surgical robot (KD-SR) was recently developed in China.

Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of the KD-SR versus the da Vinci Si Surgical System (DV-SS-Si) for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).

Design, Setting, And Participants: A double-center prospective randomized controlled noninferiority trial of patients aged 18-75 yr with a suspicion of T1a N0M0 renal cancer (RENAL nephrometry score ≤9) was conducted.

Robotic versus laparoscopic ureteroplasty with a lingual mucosa graft for complex ureteral stricture.

Purpose: Ureteroplasty with a lingual mucosa graft (LMG) for complex ureteral stricture was reported promising. We aimed to compare outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic ureteroplasty using a LMG (RU-LMG vs. LU-LMG, respectively).

The Whitaker Test in the Follow-up of Complex Upper Urinary Tract Reconstruction: Is It Clinical Useful or Not.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and guiding significance in postoperative management of the Whitaker test after complex reconstruction of the upper urinary tract.

Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent complex ureteral reconstruction and received the Whitaker test after surgery between December 2018 and December 2019 were included. We judged it abnormal that the renal pelvis pressure was higher than 22 cmH2O or the pressure difference was greater than 15 cmH2O.

A laparoscopic vascular blocking forceps used for renal carcinoma combined with tumor thrombus.

Objectives:: To discuss the feasibility and efficacy of a laparoscopic vessel blocking forceps in laparoscopic inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy (–3).

Materials And Methods:: The patient was secured in a left lateral decubitus position. The surgical field was built with 4-trocar.

A modified Whitaker test (upper urinary tract videourodynamics) using for evaluating complex upper urinary tract reconstruction surgical effect.

Background: To evaluate the feasibility and effect of upper urinary tract videourodynamics in complex reconstructed upper urinary tract.

Methods: From January 2016 to December 2018, patients who underwent complex upper urinary tract reconstruction and received upper urinary tract videourodynamics were included in the study. The modified Whitaker test was performed at 3 months after operation.

Modified Laparoscopic Partial Ureterectomy for Adult Ureteral Fibroepithelial Polyp: Technique and Initial Experience.

Objectives: To present our modified laparoscopic partial ureterectomy technique for adult ureteral fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) and initial experience.

Methods: Between August 2009 and October 2017, 22 patients with ureteral FEP underwent modified laparoscopic partial ureterectomy by an experienced surgeon. In our method, a stay suture passing through the upper ureter was fixed to the abdominal wall to keep the ureter from twisting.
