The aim of this meta‐analysis was to compare clinical outcome following laparoscopic and robotic Nissen fundoplication. A systematic literature search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases was performed. Primary outcome measures were the requirement for re‐operation, postoperative mortality and postoperative dysphagia. Secondary outcome measures were operative time, length of hospital...
IntroductionRobotically assisted laparoscopic surgery has a different learning curve to straight stick laparoscopic surgery. The learning curve for novices is likely to be different to that for experienced surgeons. We assessed the early learning curve for trainees with 18 months or less of surgical experience.
MethodsSix surgical novices performed 120 exercises using laparoscopic instruments and...
IntroductionRobotic surgery has gained worldwide acceptance in the past decade, and several studies have shown that this technique is safe and feasible. The aim of this study is to compare main outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic rectal resection.
MethodsIn total, 143 consecutive patients treated for rectal cancer in our department with laparoscopic or robotic‐assisted surgery from October 2010 to...
BackgroundSome authors recommend primary closure of the defect before placement of the mesh. The purpose of this study is to compare laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) without primary closure of the defect (NPCD) versus LVHR with primary closure of the defect (PCD).
MethodsA retrospective review of 134 LVHR was performed. Each group included 67 cases. For the PCD group the robotic platform...
Background
The adoption of robot‐assisted laparoscopic colorectal surgery has been hampered by issues with docking, operative duration, technical difficulties in multi‐quadrant access, and cost. The da Vinci® Xi has been designed to overcome some of these limitations. We describe our experience with the system and offer technical insights to its application in left‐sided colorectal procedures.
