BackgroundA population‐based case‐control study was conducted in order to investigate the advantages of robot‐assisted gastric resection (RGR) for gastric cancer as opposed to traditional open gastrectomy (OG).
MethodsData were collected in two prospectively maintained databases on patients who underwent a D2 gastrectomy with curative intent for primary gastric adenocarcinoma. All (n = 29) the first...
BackgroundThis literature review focuses on the potential benefits and eventual limitations of robotic surgery with respect to the traditional minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical technique for gastric cancer.
MethodsA literature survey was performed using specific search phrases in PubMed. Series including < 10 cases and series including only an 'open group' of patients in comparison with...
Background
Intracorporeal digestive tract reconstruction after minimally invasive total gastrectomy may be challenging, even when using the da Vinci® Surgical System. This may be due to intrinsic difficulties during oesophago–jejunal anastomosis (EJA). The aim of this study was to describe a simple way to perform digestive tract reconstruction after robotic total gastrectomy (RTG) for gastric cancer...
Background
The aim of this study was compare short‐ and long‐term outcomes between robotic (RG) and standard open gastrectomy (OG).
Methods
This is a single‐center propensity score‐matched study including patients who underwent RG or OG for gastric cancer between 2008 and 2018.
Results
In total, 191 patients could be included for analysis. Of 60 RG patients, 49 could be matched. After matching,...
Background
Data regarding the outcomes of pure minimally invasive techniques of radical gastrectomy are scarce. We aimed to compare short‐term post‐operative outcomes in patients undergoing totally minimally invasive radical gastrectomy with the da Vinci Xi® robotic system versus straight laparoscopy for gastric adenocarcinoma.
Methods
Between December 2013 and March 2018, robotic and laparoscopic...
Introduction
To compare outcomes of robotic gastrectomy (RG) performed during the learning curve (P1) with those after its completion (P2).
Methods
In this retrospective study, all consecutive RG patients (n = 92) performed between 2008 and 2018 were included. Primary outcome was conversion rate.
Results
D2 lymphadenectomies were more common in P2 (41, 97.6%) than P1 (41, 82.0%) (p = 0.019)....
Background
Gastric cancer is the fifth most frequent cancer globally. The introduction of minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer aimed at reducing post‐operative morbidity and hospital length of stay. Although the role of laparoscopic gastrectomy has been established, robotic gastric surgery has only recently gained popularity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, with a multidimensional...
Background
Robot‐assisted surgery can effectively reduce the difficulty and improve the success rate of the surgeries. However, currently available flexible instruments have several limitations, such as large size, few degrees of freedom, and lack of contact force perception.
Methods
This study proposes a master‐slave flexible instrument capable of force feedback. The instrument has a maximum outer...
