Are small community hospitals ready for robotic surgery residency training?
Allyne Topaz, MD, Lauren Poliakin, MD, Luca Milone, MD. The Brooklyn HospitalBackground: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes involving dedicated resident training in robotic general surgery cases in small community hospitals. The aim of this study is to provide more evidence regarding a robotics curriculum in a general surgery residency program at a small community… Continue Reading
ASSESSMENT OF CONTENT AND QUALITY OF INTERNET INFORMATION REGARDING ROBOT-ASSISTED GENERAL SURGERY
Loren J Smith, Saeed Arefanian, MD, Jeffrey Blatnik, MD. Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis Introduction: Robot-assisted general surgery (RAGS) procedures have been growing in use and demand. Internet information about robotic surgery has similarly expanded, enhancing consumer access to information. Increasingly patients are taking an active role in their healthcare decision-making often consulting… Continue Reading
Assessment of Current Robotic Surgical Training Curricula
Jorge G Zarate Rodriguez, MD, William D Gerull, Michael M Awad, MD, PhD. Washington University in St Louis School of MedicineIntroduction: With the proliferation of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS), training programs have had to adapt to incorporate RALS-specific training. Without standardized curricula for RALS, we hypothesized the curricula on PubMed would vary in terms of… Continue Reading
AUTOMATIC PIXELWISE SEGMENTATION AND WORKFLOW RECOGNITION IN LAPAROSCOPIC SIGMOIDECTOMY USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS
Nobuyoshi Takeshita, Daichi Kitaguchi, Masaaki Ito. National Cancer Center Hospital EastIntroduction: Tracking and analyzing surgical tool movements, anatomical structures and bleeding in laparoscopic-surgical views are beneficial for training and safety. Furthermore, automatic recognition of surgical workflow is useful for operating room management and prediction of adverse event during surgery. In this work, we made use… Continue Reading
Beyond the limits of laproscopic surgery: robotic subtotal pancreatectomy
Carter Powell1, Christine Schammel, PhD2, Steven D Trocha, MD3. 1Kenyon College, 2Pathology Associates, 3Department of Surgery, Greenville Health SystemLaparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) has proven to be superior to the traditional open approach due to its minimally invasive nature. However, technical limitations still exist when utilizing a laparoscopic approach. Dexterity achieved with robotics overcomes laparoscopic limitations,… Continue Reading

Comparison of intraoperative outcomes between single-incision robotic cholecystectomy and multi-incision robotic cholecystectomy
Philip Schertz, DO, Subhasis Misra. Brandon Regional HospitalAim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences in key surgical factors for single-incision robotic cholecystectomy and multi-incision robotic cholecystectomy. Method: A retrospective data review from August 2013 to April 2018 consisting of 104 single-incision and 105 multi-incision robotic cholecystectomies was done looking at factors… Continue Reading
Cost comparison of single site robotic and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a single institution
Mary M Lee, DO, Kevin K Seeras, DO, John J Lim, MD. Henry Ford Macomb HospitalINTRODUCTION: Single site robotic (SSR) cholecystectomy has become a popular technique at our institution with similar if not improved patient satisfaction compared to conventional laparoscopic (CL) cholecystectomy. Prior studies have suggested that these favorable patient outcomes are attenuated by the… Continue Reading
Detection of Extrahepatic and Intrahepatic Biliary Anatomy: Laparoscopic Intraoperative Cholangiography v. Robotic Near-Infrared Fluorescence Cholangiography
Priti Lalchandani, MD, Jennifer A Smith, MD, Beverley A Petrie, MD. Harbor-UCLA Medical CenterINTRODUCTION: The inability to identify biliary anatomy has been identified as the cause of bile duct injury (BDI) in 71-97% of laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Indocynanine green (ICG) has emerged as a safe and effective modality to visualize biliary anatomy. Near-infrared laser beams excite… Continue Reading
