BackgroundWe hypothesized that robotic assistance (RARS) could provide better intraoperative and short‐term outcomes than a traditional laparoscopic approach (LARS) to rectal cancer surgery.
MethodsSystematic review of the literature, including electronic searches and communications to international robotic meetings. Inclusion criteria: studies involving rectal cancer patients and comparing outcomes...
BackgroundIt remains uncertain as to whether robotically assisted coronary bypass surgery (RACBS) is superior to non‐robotic procedures.
MethodsLiterature searches were conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS. Two review authors independently screened citations, assessed trial quality and performed data extraction.
ResultsThree trials met the inclusion criteria. None was randomized. Compared with...
Background
To evaluate whether the safety and efficacy of robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH) in patients with cervical cancer (CC) are equivalent to those of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH).
Methods
The Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Ovid and Web of Science databases were searched. Studies documenting a comparison of RRH with LRH for CC were selected. Operative and recovery outcomes,...
Background
Accurate insertion of pedicle screws in scoliosis patients is a challenge for surgeons. Computer‐assisted navigation techniques might help improve the accuracy of screw placement, thereby avoiding complications. Thus, the objective of this present work is to compare the accuracy and postoperative assessment of pedicle screw placement in scoliosis patients using a computer‐assisted navigation...
Background
Robot‐assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is increasing annually for treatment of bladder cancer. The objective of this meta‐analysis was to compare the safety and efficacy of RARC and open radical cystectomy (ORC) for bladder cancer.
Methods
Our meta‐analysis searches were conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases to identify randomized controlled trials...
Objectives
To compare perioperative outcomes of robotic‐assisted partial nephrectomy (RaPN) with open partial nephrectomy (OPN).
Methods
Systematically search through PubMed, Embase, ClinicalKey, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov for eligible studies was performed to April 11, 2018. A meta‐analysis was conducted for studies comparing RaPN and OPN...
Background
Several studies have compared robotics‐assisted (RA) and conventional manual (CM) approaches for total hip arthroplasty (THA), but their results are controversial.
Methods
A literature search was conducted for controlled clinical trials (CCTs) comparing the clinical efficacy of the RA and CM approaches for THA and published between August 1998 and August 2018. The obtained data were...
Objective
To compare the pathologic outcomes between robotic‐assisted rectal cancer surgery (RRCS) and laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery (LRCS) based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods
Electronic databases were searched from their inception to 7 October 2018, for RCTs involving a comparison between RRCS and LRCS. Positive circumferential resection margin (CRM), distance to the distal...
Background
The superiority of robot‐assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) over video‐assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy remains controversial for lung cancer.
Methods
A network meta‐analysis (NMA) and pairwise meta‐analysis (PMA) were performed to evaluate the perioperative outcomes using five databases.
Results
Thirty‐two studies involving 6593 patients were included for analysis. The...
Background
The robotic‐assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is proposed to improve the accuracy of component positioning.
Methods
We conducted a literature search in Medline, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library until April 2020.
Results
Our meta‐analysis included 10 articles, involving 1231 knees. Our meta‐analysis demonstrated that the robotic group had significantly...
Background
The aim of this meta‐analysis was to evaluate whether adoption of DaVinci Xi® had any impact upon intra‐ and postoperative metrics in colorectal surgery.
Methods
The Pubmed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and MEDLINE (Ovid) databases were systematically searched. Operating time as well as docking and surgeon console times were the primary endpoints. Conversion and postoperative complication...
Background
Robotic‐assisted laparoscopic Heller myotomy has been proposed as an alternative minimally invasive approach to traditional laparoscopy for the treatment of achalasia. This systematic review aims to compare the safety and post‐operative outcomes of the two procedures.
Methods
Systematic literature search was performed in MEDLINE through Ovid, Scopus and Cochrane to identify clinical...
Background
Recently, thymectomy using minimally invasive approaches has been increasing with the development of robotic video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (R‐VATS). Although multimodal approach is effective for robot assisted thymectomy, it is necessary to determine the approach (left, right or subxiphoid) associated with the least complications.
Methods
An electronic retrieval from PubMed, Embase,...
Background
We systematically reviewed the radiological outcomes of studies comparing robotic‐assisted (RA‐THA) and manual total hip arthroplasty (mTHA).
Methods
The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were queried from 1994‐2021 for articles comparing radiographic outcomes between RA‐THA and mTHA cohorts. A meta‐analysis was conducted whenever sufficient data was present for common outcomes...
Background
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether robotic‐assisted total hip arthroplasty (RATHA) is superior to conventional total hip arthroplasty (CTHA) in terms of radiological and clinical outcomes.
Methods
Three databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase) were searched for articles published before 11 May 2021. The comparison outcomes of interest included radiological and...
