Introduction
To date, no anti‐reflux operations have been reported with the new da Vinci Single‐Port (single port (SP)) robotic platform. We aimed to describe this novel surgical approach and evaluate its safety and feasibility.
Methods
All robotic SP operations were performed under an Institutional Review Board approved protocol.
Results
Two patients underwent robotic SP anti‐reflux surgery...
Background
We aim to analyse the safety and feasibility of the DaVinci Single Port (SP) platform in general surgery.
Methods
A prospective series of robotic SP transabdominal pre‐peritoneal inguinal hernia repairs (SP‐TAPP) and cholecystectomies (SP‐C) (off‐label) were analysed. Primary endpoints were safety and feasibility defined by the need for conversion and incidence of perioperative complications...
BackgroundThe interest of robotics in performing partial and total splenectomy is poorly reported so far. We report herein our experience.
MethodsFrom November 2001 to November 2009, 24 consecutive robotic splenectomies were performed by the same surgeon. All data were prospectively collected and reviewed retrospectively.
ResultsTwelve men and 12 women with a median age of 48 years underwent a robotic...
BackgroundThe robotic approach is an interesting option for overcoming the limitations of laparoscopic adrenalectomy. We aimed to report our technique and outcomes of robot‐assisted adrenalectomy (RAA).
MethodsFrom November 2000 to February 2010, all consecutive patients who underwent a RAA by the same surgeon were prospectively entered into a dedicated database. The data were reviewed retrospectively...
BackgroundOptimizing quality of life is a major goal for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer and distal cholangiocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to assess the value of robotic surgery for palliation in these patients.
MethodsBetween May 2007 and January 2010, nine patients who presented with unresectable pancreatic cancer or distal cholangiocarcinoma at exploratory laparoscopy were...
