Value of a dual console in the introduction of robot-assisted colectomy
Yoshiyuki Sakamoto, PhD, Hajime Morohashi, PhD, Takuya Miura, PhD, Kentarou Satou, MD, Kenichi Hakamada, PhD. Hirosaki UniversityIntroduction: Robot-assisted colectomy may compensate for some of the disadvantages of conventional laparoscopic surgery by providing detailed high-vision three-dimensional images and magnified vision, forceps joint function, and preventing hand tremors. These attributes of robot surgery may be particularly useful… Continue Reading
Stray Energy Transfer Comparison Between Single Incision Robotic Surgery and Standard Robotic Surgery
Douglas M Overbey, MD, MPH, Thomas Robinson, Heather Carmichael, Brandon Chapman, Edward Jones. University of ColoradoObjective: Stray energy transfer from the monopolar “Bovie” instrument has been shown to cause unintended thermal injuries during laparoscopic surgery. Our prior work demonstrated increased stray energy transfer during single incision laparoscopic surgery in comparison to traditional laparoscopy. However, stray… Continue Reading
ROBOTIC PANCREAS-SPARING TREATMENT OF PANCREATIC NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS: THREE CASE REPORTS AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Alessandra Marano, Giorgio Giraudo, Stefano Giaccardi, Desiree Cianflocca, Diego Sasia, Felice Borghi. Santa Croce e Carle HospitalINTRODUCTION: Pancreas-sparing resections would be the ideal procedure in case of small pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (p-NETs) reducing the risk of exocrine and endocrine insufficiency. Compared to standard resection, this type of surgery is safe and feasible without increasing the… Continue Reading
