Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37323. [PMID: 38457540 PMCID: PMC10919455 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000037323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of the case control study was to compare surgical outcomes of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) hysterectomy with the da Vinci surgical system (dVSS) and conventional vNOTES. A case control study was performed on 25 cases in our hospital. Patients (n = 8) who underwent vNOTES hysterectomy with dVSS were selected to compare with the control group (n = 17) consisted of patients who underwent conventional vNOTES. Patients in the 2 groups underwent different operations respectively, and no case was transferred to transabdominal laparoscopy. In the conventional vNOTES group, 1 patient happened intraoperative hemorrhage of about 1000 mL, and was treated with blood transfusion, and the other one of vNOTES hysterectomy with dVSS had poor incision healing within 1 month after surgery. The other patients had no intraoperative and postoperative complications. The difference of pain scores on the first day (P = .006) and the third day (P = .045) after the 2 surgical methods differed significantly. No statistical differences were observed in operation time, median hospital stay, blood loss, decreased hemoglobin 3 days after surgery, and postoperative white blood cell count. vNOTES hysterectomy with dVSS is safe and feasible, and can achieve the same effect as the conventional vNOTES hysterectomy. And this method may alleviate the pain of patients.

Abstract
Robot-assisted surgery is developing as an acme of minimally invasive surgery, given its utmost dominance over laparoscopic surgery. The objective was to review the status of robotic surgery in urological practice with its advantages and disadvantages in current scenario. We conducted a literature search using MEDLINE and identified 72 articles which were relevant to urology. Single-port and various multiport robotic platforms like Da Vinci, Versius, Hugo RAS, Revo-I, Senhance, Mantra, Avatera, Hinotori, and MicroSurge are described with pros and cons. With a surge in different medical surgical robots purging into the market and a race to become the next standard of care in robotic surgery, it is only a matter of time when robotic surgery becomes financially comparable to laparoscopic surgeries.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Minimally invasive surgery, especially the single-site approach, has demonstrated several advantages in the gynaecological setting. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of single-site hysterectomy for benign conditions between the traditional laparoendoscopic approach and robotic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We consecutively enrolled 278 women between 2012 and 2019 in this multicentre trial. The patients underwent robotic single-site hysterectomy (RSSH) or laparoendoscopic single-site hysterectomy (LESSH) procedures with or without salpingo-oophorectomy for benign indications. Surgical parameters and surgical outcomes were analysed. RESULTS There was a statistical difference between the two surgical techniques for total operative time (p = 0.001), set-up time (p = 0.013), and anaesthesia time (p = 0.001). Significant differences in intraoperative blood loss were observed (p = 0.001), but no differences were shown for blood transfusion or intraoperative or postoperative complications in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS LESSH outperformed RSSH in terms of surgical performance and clinical outcomes, with no differences in adverse events.

Single-port robotic partial nephrectomy: impact on perioperative outcomes and hospital stay. Ther Adv Urol 2023; 15:17562872231172834.

Abstract
Single-port (SP) robotic surgery is a novel technology and is at the beginning of its adoption curve in urology. The goal of this narrative review is to provide an overview of SP-robotic partial nephrectomy (PN) 4 years after the introduction of the da Vinci SP dedicated platform, focusing on perioperative outcomes, length of stay, and surgical technique. A nonsystematic review of the literature was conducted. The research included the most updated articles that referred to SP robotic PN. Since its commercial release in 2018, several institutions have reproduced robotic PN by using the SP platform, both via a transperitoneal and a retroperitoneal approach. The published SP-robotic PN series are generally based on preliminary experiences by surgeons who had previous experience with conventional multi-arms robotic platforms. The reported outcomes are encouraging. Overall, three studies reported that SP-robotic PN cases had nonsignificantly different operative time, estimated blood loss, overall complications rate, and length of stay compared to the conventional 'multi-arms' robotic PN. However, in all these series, renal masses treated by SP had overall lower complexity. Moreover, two studies underlined decreased postoperative pain as a major pro of adopting the SP system. This should reduce/avoid the need for opioids after surgery. No study compared SP-robotic versus multi-arms robotic PN in cost-effectiveness. Published experience with SP-robotic PN has reported the feasibility and safety of the approach. Preliminary results are encouraging and at least noninferior with respect to those from the multi-arms series. Prospective comparative studies with long-term oncologic and functional results are awaited to draw more definitive conclusions and better establish the more appropriate indications of SP robotics in the field of PN.

[DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.941104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
ObjectiveThe limitations of tissue retraction and the amount of surgical working space have a great impact on extraperitoneal single-port robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (sp-RARP) with the multiport robotic surgical system. We used an extraperitoneal tissue retraction technique to achieve tissue exposure and working space expansion. This study evaluated the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of the extraperitoneal tissue retraction technique in extraperitoneal pure sp-RARP with the da Vinci Si surgical system.MethodsData from 42 patients were analyzed retrospectively from December 2018 to February 2020. The extraperitoneal tissue retraction technique was not used in 20 patients (group I) and was used in 22 patients (group II). Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data were collected. The oncological and functional data during late follow-up were recorded.ResultsAll patients successfully underwent extraperitoneal pure sp-RARP. No patients required conversion to a multiport surgery or placement of additional assistant ports. The two groups were similar regarding baseline features. The median operation time in group I was significantly longer than that in group II (P < 0.001). The estimated blood loss volume in group I was significantly higher than that in group II (P < 0.001). There were no serious complications in either group. There were four cases of peritoneal tears in group I and none in group II (P = 0.043). The surgical margin and lymph nodes were negative in both groups. The oncological and functional outcomes were similar between the two groups 6 months after the procedure.ConclusionsThe extraperitoneal tissue retraction technique is safe and feasible. The technique promotes tissue exposure and expands the surgical working space, which is important for achieving extraperitoneal pure sp-RARP with the da Vinci Si surgical system, especially for beginners. The short-term oncological and functional outcomes were within acceptable ranges. The long-term effects of this technique need further evaluation.

Ensuring safety and feasibility for resection of pediatric benign ovarian tumors by single-port robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery using the da Vinci Xi system. Front Surg 2022; 9:944662. [PMID: 36061048 PMCID: PMC9437548 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.944662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Single-port robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (S-RALS) is rarely applied in pediatric surgery. There is still no study on the application of S-RALS for resection of pediatric benign ovarian tumors. The current study aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of S-RALS for resection of pediatric benign ovarian tumors using the da Vinci Xi system. Methods The clinical data of three patients who underwent S-RALS for resection of benign ovarian tumors in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from May 2020 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The mean age of these children was 7.9 years (5.8–9.3 years). One was a case of bilateral ovarian tumors, and the other two were cases of right ovarian tumors. Results All three patients successfully underwent the resection of ovarian tumors through S-RALS without conversion to laparotomy. The average operation time was 180 min (118–231 min). The average amount of blood loss was 20 ml (10–35 ml). No drainage tube was placed. All postoperative pathological types of ovarian tumors were mature cystic teratomas in the three cases. All patients started a liquid diet 2 h after surgery. The average length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.7 days (3–7 days). No tumor recurred, no surgical site hernia occurred, and the wound healed very well with a cosmetic scar in the lower umbilical crease during the postoperative follow-up for 6–18 months. Conclusion S-RALS has the advantages of less surgical trauma, quick postoperative recovery, and a cosmetic scar in the lower umbilical crease. It is safe, effective, and feasible for pediatric benign ovarian tumors.

Abstract
With the continuous development of minimally invasive and precise surgical techniques, laparoscopic myomectomy has become a mainstream surgical method due to its aesthetic outcomes and rapid postoperative recovery. However, during laparoscopic myomectomy, clinicians often encounter unfavorable factors, such as limited vision, inaccurate suturing, difficulty in removing tumors, and susceptibility to fatigue in the operating position. In recent years, robot-assisted surgery has been widely used in gynecology. The advantages of this technique, such as a three-dimensional surgical view, reducing the surgeon’s tremor, and the seven degrees of freedom of the robotic arms, compensate for the defects in laparoscopic surgery. The Department of Gynecology in our hospital has accumulated a wealth of experience since robot-assisted surgery was first carried out in 2017. In this article, the surgical skills of the robotic myomectomy process are described in detail.

Abstract
In various disciplines, robotic-assisted surgery is a well-proven routine procedure, but have never been established in vascular surgery so far. This review summarizes the results to date of robotic-assisted abdominal aortic surgery (RAAS) in the treatment of aorto-iliac occlusive disease (AIOD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
Web-based literature search of robotic-assisted surgical procedures on the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries between 1990 and 2020 including the Cochrane Library, OVID Medline, Embase, and PubMed medical databases.
All studies conducting Robotic-assisted surgery were included in the quantitative analysis regarding operative and cross-clamping times, conversion rates, mortality and morbidity within the first 30 days, and in-hospital stay. Case reports and case studies (< 5 patients) were not included. Twenty-four studies were deemed thematically eligible for inclusion; after exclusion of duplicate publications, nine met the inclusion criteria for further analysis. A total of 850 patients who had either abdominal aortic aneurysm or aorto-iliac occlusive disease underwent RAAS. One study of abdominal aortic aneurysm, three of aorto-iliac occlusive disease, and five studies of both disease entities were analyzed quantitatively. For AAA, conversion rates ranged from 13.1 to 20% and perioperative mortality ranged from 0 to 1.6% with in-hospital stay of 7 days. For aorto-iliac occlusive disease, conversion rates ranged from 0 to 20%, and perioperative mortality ranged from 0 to 3.6% with in-hospital stay of 5–8 days. RAAS has been shown to be technically feasible with acceptable short-term outcomes and questionable benefits in terms of in-hospital stay and complication rates. RAAS is currently considered only an outsider procedure. Randomized-controlled trials are indispensable for regular use in vascular surgery as well as a clear approval situation for the vascular sector.

Abstract
The use of a rigid tube endoscope (RTE) through a laparoendoscopic single site surgery device for intracavitary visualization during endoscopic uniportal surgery (EUS) is directly related to the fulcrum effect and physical competition (externally between surgeons and on instrumentation through the single port). These facts may have precluded a wider spread of EUS. In an attempt to separate the imaging system from the laparoendoscopic single site surgery device, a tiered project (3 models) that can help overcome these drawbacks is detailed. ZEUS1, a new non-RTE imaging system device for EUS was successfully tested in EUS surgery in a pig model. Still under investigation, ZEUS2 becomes a wired structure that serves as the basis for an endoscopic microcamera with intracavitary pan-tilt-zoom functions. ZEUS3 uses the inner ring of the surgical wound protector as a microchamber crown. Further studies are needed to materialize the ZEUS2 and ZEUS3 models and confirm their efficacy and safety.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report preliminary experience of single-port robotic surgery using the da Vinci SP surgical system in gynecologic tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study on 100 consecutive patients who underwent da Vinci SP single-port robotic surgery between November 2018 and January 2021. All procedures were performed by an experienced gynecologic surgeon using a single 2.5-cm umbilical incision. RESULTS Of the 100 cases, the procedures included myomectomy (n=76), hysterectomy (n=2), endometrial cancer surgical staging (n=14), radical hysterectomy (n=3), radical trachelectomy (n=3), and ovarian cystectomy (n=2). None of the cases was converted to robotic multiport or open surgery. The median docking time was 5.0 minutes [interquartile range (IQR), 3.0-7.0], the median console time was 107.5 minutes (IQR, 78.7-155.8), and the median total operation time was 250.0 minutes (IQR, 215.0-310.0). The median estimated blood loss was 50.0 mL (IQR, 30.0-100.0), and the median change in hemoglobin level was 0.8 g/dL (IQR, 0.3-1.3). The median pain scores rated on a numerical rating scale immediately after and at 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery were 5, 2, 2, and 2, respectively. The mean duration of postoperative hospitalization was 2.8 days. CONCLUSION Da Vinci SP single-port robotic surgery was successfully performed in various gynecologic tumors without significant complications. Therefore, this surgical system could be applied in patients who want precise gynecologic surgery while minimizing surgical incision.

Abstract
Background Single-port (SP) robotic surgery has been utilized in several surgical procedures. We aim to describe our institution’s approach and perioperative experience with SP robotic adrenalectomy and compare it to the traditional multi-port (MP) approach. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent robotic adrenalectomy by a single surgeon between March 2019 and March 2020. Patient demographic, perioperative factors, and pathologic outcomes were recorded and analyzed using t-tests, chi-square, or Fisher’s exact tests. Results Thirty-six patients underwent SP (n = 11) and MP (n = 25) robotic adrenalectomy. Age, body mass index, gender, operative time, major Clavien-Dindo complications, and margin status showed no differences. Patients undergoing SP adrenalectomy had a lower estimated blood loss (18.1 ± 13.0 vs 65.6 ± 95.0 cc, P = .02) and smaller lesion size (2.8 ± 1.3 vs 4.1 ± 1.8 cm, P = .04) compared to those undergoing MP. Conclusions SP adrenalectomy appears to be a feasible approach in select adrenal masses. Further studies are needed to establish its safety and cost effectiveness.

Abstract
Robot-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) has gained popularity as a method for easier intracorporeal suturing than conventional laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. However, few studies have compared multiport RSC (MP-RSC) and single-incision RSC (SI-RSC). We aimed to compare perioperative outcomes between these techniques for advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP). We analyzed 126 patients who underwent RSC for POP quantification (all stage III to IV) between March 2019 and May 2021 at Seoul Asan Medical Center. We prospectively collected operation-related data, including total operation time (OT; from skin incision to closure) and perioperative outcomes. A total of 106 and 20 patients underwent MP-RSC and SI-RSC, respectively. The mean ages were 57.49 ± 10.89 and 56.20 ± 10.30 years in the MP-RSC and SI-RSC groups, respectively. The mean total OT was significantly shorter for MP-RSC than for SI-RSC (105.43 ± 24.03 vs. 121.10 ± 26.28 min). The OT difference was 15.67 min (95% confidence interval, 3.90-25.85, p = 0.009). No statistically significant differences were observed in terms of perioperative variables (estimated blood loss, hospital stay) and postoperative adverse events (POP recurrence, mesh erosion). SI-RSC had comparable intraoperative and postoperative outcomes to MP-RSC, with additional cosmetic benefits. MP-RSC had significantly shorter OT than SI-RSC.

[PMID: 34493374 DOI: 10.1016/j.ciresp.2021.07.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The use of a rigid tube endoscope (RTE) through a laparoendoscopic single site surgery device for intracavitary visualization during endoscopic uniportal surgery (EUS) is directly related to the fulcrum effect and physical competition (externally between surgeons and on instrumentation through the single port). These facts may have precluded a wider spread of EUS. In an attempt to separate the imaging system from the laparoendoscopic single site surgery device, a tiered project (3 models) that can help overcome these drawbacks is detailed. ZEUS1, a new non-RTE imaging system device for EUS was successfully tested in EUS surgery in a pig model. Still under investigation, ZEUS2 becomes a wired structure that serves as the basis for an endoscopic microcamera with intracavitary pan-tilt-zoom functions. ZEUS3 uses the inner ring of the surgical wound protector as a microchamber crown. Further studies are needed to materialize the ZEUS2 and ZEUS3 models and confirm their efficacy and safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the feasibility, safety and advantages of Laparo-Endoscopic Single-site Surgery radical prostatectomy (LESS-RP) based on our personal experience. PATIENTS AND METHODS Details of 520 patients were retrospectively analyzed, from 2009 to 2019. Extraperitoneal approach, with only two accesses (2.5 cm and 5 mm respectively) was used to perform radical prostatectomy. Perioperative characteristics and postoperative oncologic and functional outcomes are reported. RESULTS The mean age was 66.6 ± 5.6 years. Mean PSA level was 9 ± 3.5 ng/ml. According to D'Amico classification, the percentage of patients with low-, intermediate-, and high-risk disease cases were 116 (22.4%), 275 (52.8%), and 129 (24.8%) respectively. Mean operative time was 156 ± 43 min. Mean estimated blood loss was 214 ± 93 ml. Positive surgical margins (PSMs) were detected in 110 (21.2%) patients. PSM rates in pT2 and pT3 stages were 20.1% and 22.9%, respectively. The overall complication rate was 9.2%, based on the modified Clavien classification. The 12 months continence and potency rates were 90.9% and 49.1%, respectively. The biochemical recurrence rate was 6.8%, at the median follow-up time of 26.7 months (IQR 12-32). CONCLUSIONS Our analyses show that LESS-RP is a safe procedure, if performed by surgeons with adequate experience and skills. Unlike the classic laparoscopic prostatectomy, this technique allows better aesthetic and psychological results, reduced postoperative pain, and a faster return to normal daily activity with the same functional and oncological results.

Abstract
PURPOSE The development of surgery is to be minimally invasive and collaborative with robot systems, which has caught increasing attention in recent years. However, the narrow access routes and confined working spaces in vivo usually make distal end-effectors of surgical systems not easy to operate. To overcome this problem, a novel cable-driven distal end-effector mechanism designed for single-port robotic surgery was proposed. METHODS A cable-driven joint structure and the corresponding methods of threading cables were proposed which can maintain the length and even the tension force of cables constant during operation. Based on the proposed joint structure, the cable-driven distal end-effector mechanism consists of a parallelogram mechanism and a snake mechanism. The parallelogram mechanism is used to enlarge its reachable workspace through establishing the triangulation of operation. The snake mechanism is used to achieve the expected pose through providing sufficient bending degrees of freedom. All of the degrees of freedom can be decoupled at the expense of a slightly more tedious process of threading cables. RESULTS The primary prototype and its miniature assembled and threaded manually performed as expected regardless of bend, translation and their combination. But the inadequate tension force of cables and assembly errors affect the load capacity and accuracy, which need to be improved by automatic assembly. CONCLUSION A cable-driven distal end-effector mechanism composed of a parallelogram mechanism, and a snake mechanism used for single-port robotic surgery was proposed. The mechanism adopts a novel cable-driven joint structure and corresponding methods of threading cables to keep the length and even the tension force of cables constant during surgery.

Abstract
Surgical techniques for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy are driven by the aims of simplifying the most challenging surgical steps, maximizing functional and oncologic outcomes, and consistently pushing the envelope on possibilities. Over the past several years, we have seen an emergence in not only innovation in surgical technique, and robotic platforms, but integration of a variety of imaging techniques. We believe with developing robotic expertise, practicing urologists will continue to push the envelope in nephron preservation and complication-free recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bilateral native nephrectomies are needed in ESRD patients with select indications in a pre-transplant setting. Yet, the perioperative morbidity is significant in this population. Herein we evaluate the efficacy and utility of r-SABN. METHOD A total of 12 patients were consented at a single center. Of 12 patients, 3 patients did not meet study criteria and were excluded. Preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative data were prospectively collected from 9 patients from electronic health records and administered postoperative surveys. Patients were assessed at 30-180 days postoperatively for follow-up. RESULTS Mean operative time was 204.3 ± 59.7 min (142.0-314.0) and estimated blood loss during operation was 94.4 ± 87.3 ml (25.0-300.0). The mean length of hospital stay was 2 ± 0.7 days (1-3) for all patients. Total post-operative opioid usage was normalized to morphine dose equivalents (MDE) and calculated to be 56.1 ± 30.4 mg (30.8-101.8). Patients experienced a fourfold and tenfold respective increase in weekly structural and incidental physical activity from 30 to 180 days postoperatively. There were no procedure related intraoperative or postoperative complications reported in the cohort. CONCLUSION Overall, r-SABN afforded the patients low morbidity. Longitudinal studies are in progress to further assess the efficacy and outcome of this procedure. In a single-center study, we demonstrate r-SABN is viable and provides a novel tool for treatment of ESRD patients requiring this procedure.

Am J Obstet Gynecol 2020; 222:358.e1-358.e11. [PMID: 31589864 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2019.09.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2019] [Revised: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 09/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sacrocolpopexy is a commonly performed procedure for repair of apical compartment prolapse. A Y-shaped mesh is attached to the prolapsed cervix or vagina and suspended to the anterior longitudinal ligament of the sacrum. In addition to conventional laparoscopic and multi-port robotic routes, the robotic laparoendoscopic single-site approach has emerged as a viable, feasible, and widely applicable minimally invasive approach to sacrocolpopexy. OBJECTIVE To compare robotic laparoendoscopic single-site with multi-port robotic sacrocolpopexy for women with either utero-vaginal or vaginal apical prolapse. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this single-center randomized controlled trial, 70 women at Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantitative stages 2-4 were assigned randomly to undergo sacrocolpopexy by robotic laparoendoscopic single-site or multi-port robotic approaches from August 2017 to November 2018. Of 35 women randomized to each group, 32 underwent sacrocolpopexy. Operating time was the primary outcome of the trial. Secondary outcomes included intraoperative bleeding, length of hospitalization, pain during the first postoperative 24 hours (according to a 0-10 visual analogue scale), need for analgesics, and intraoperative and postoperative adverse events. At 6 weeks and 6 months after surgery, patients underwent a physical examination according to Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantitative measurements, to assess the anatomical success of the surgery. The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual-12 questionnaires were administered prior to surgery and at 6-month follow-up. The Patient Scar Assessment Questionnaire and the Activity Assessment Scale were administered at 6 weeks and 6 months after the surgery. Exclusion criteria included contraindication to general anesthesia, a history of prior sacrocolpopexy, suspicious adnexal masses, suspicious thickened endometrium, and morbid obesity (body mass index of 40 kg/m2 or more). RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 58.4 years. More than half of the patients (54%) had stage III prolapse. Mean total operative times were 181.3 ± 32.6 and 157.5 ± 42 minutes for robotic laparoendoscopic single-site and multi-port robotic sacrocolpopexy, respectively; the difference was 23.8 minutes (95% confidence interval, 4.2-43.4, P = .018). The mean differences in duration between the procedures were as follows: 29.8 minutes, 95% confidence interval, 9.2-50.4, P = .005 for anesthesia time; 33.1 minutes, 95% confidence interval, 16.5-49.7, P < .0001 for console time; 8.6 minutes, 95% confidence interval, 1.1-16.3, P = .025 for supracervical hysterectomy time; 8.3 minutes, 95% confidence interval, 1.8-14.8, P = 0.03 for mesh suturing and fixation to the promontory; and 4.7 minutes, 95% confidence interval, 1.5-7.7, P = .004 for peritoneum suturing. Statistically significant differences were not observed between the groups in regard to estimated blood loss, intraoperative complications, and demand for analgesics during hospital stay. Quality-of-life parameters were similar. Patients' assessments of their scars were more favorable in the robotic laparoendoscopic single-site group. CONCLUSION For sacrocolpopexy, the operative time was longer for the robotic laparoendoscopic single-site than for the multi-port robotic approach. Both approaches are feasible, and short-term outcomes, quality-of-life parameters, and anatomic repair are comparable. Our results are generalizable only to the specific robotic platforms used in the study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To present a comprehensive report regarding our experience with single-port robotic surgery in our first 100 consecutive patients. We describe the diversity of procedures that can be performed with this platform as well as the challenges and complications we had with the application of this novel technology. METHODS Between September 2018 and August 2019, data on 100 patients who underwent single-port robotic surgery were consecutively collected. Preoperative, intraoperative and early postoperative outcomes after various urologic procedures were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS During the study period, 100 patients (age [range] 35-84 years; 88 [88%] Male) underwent various single-port robotic surgeries for different indications (Retroperitoneal [n = 14], Pelvic surgeries [n = 86]). Transperitoneal (n = 37), extraperitoneal (n = 53) and transvesical (n = 10) approaches have been used to access the target organs. Of these procedures, 73 (73%) were for different oncological indications: Radical prostatectomy (n = 60), Partial nephrectomy (n = 6), Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (n = 1) and Radical cystectomy with intracorporeal diversion (n = 6). Surgery was successfully completed in all but 1 patient, in whom the surgery was converted to open surgery due to dense adhesions and failure to progress. Grades II-III postoperative complications were detected in (n = 9) patients. CONCLUSION The purpose-built single-port robotic platform can be safely incorporated into the minimally invasive armamentarium. A wide range of pelvic and retroperitoneal urological procedures can be done with different approaches using this platform. Randomized trials with adequate sample size and postoperative follow up period is advisable for further evaluation of the outcomes and to determine the added value of this emerging technology.

Abstract
To describe our institution's initial experience with radical (RN) and partial nephrectomy (PN) using the SP robotic system. The recent FDA approval of the da Vinci® SP robotic platform has led to its use in minimally invasive approaches to urologic malignancies. There are little data on its feasibility and safety after implementation for radical and partial nephrectomy. All patients who underwent PN or RN using the SP system at our institution were reviewed. All PNs were performed off-clamp. Patient demographics, preoperative imaging, operative approaches, and perioperative outcomes were collected and analyzed. Sixteen patients underwent PN (n = 13) or RN (n = 3) utilizing the SP robotic system between January 2019 and June 2019. Average age was 58.6 ± 13.9 and 61.0 ± 1.7 years in each group, respectively. A retroperitoneal approach was performed in 7 (53.8%) PN patients and 1 (33.3%) RN patient. A transperitoneal approach was performed in 6 (46.1%) PNs and 2 (66.7%) RNs. Mean operative time and median estimated blood loss for PN was 176.9 ± 64.0 min and 200 (50-800) ml compared to 176.3 ± 73.8 min and 50 (50-400) ml for RN. There was one operative conversion (7.7%) to an open approach in the PN group. Length of hospital stay postoperatively averaged 1.9 ± 1.3 days and 3.3 ± 1.2 days for patients undergoing partial and radical nephrectomy, respectively. SP partial and radical nephrectomies through transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches appear to be feasible surgical techniques in the management of cortical renal masses. Off-clamp PN is also a feasible approach using the SP system. However, further study is needed to establish its safety and use in renal surgery across multiple institutions and larger patient cohorts.

Abstract
Purpose To report an initial single-surgeon experience with single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP) using the da Vinci SP surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, USA). Materials and Methods Between December 2018 and October 2019, a single surgeon performed SP-RARP in 20 patients with prostate cancer. SP-RARP was performed using the conventional approach through an umbilical port with a GelPOINT access system (Applied Medical, USA) and an additional assist port. During surgery, the camera was placed in the 6- or 12-o'clock position, and a traction arm was placed in the counterpart position for upward or downward traction. Clinicopathologic data, perioperative data, and short-term surgical outcomes were analyzed. Results Of 20 patients, 45% of patients had pT3 or greater disease and 45% had Gleason grade 4 to 5, respectively. In 11 patients that underwent lymph node dissection, the median number of lymph nodes removed was 19 (interquartile range [IQR], 14–22). Median operative time was 245 minutes (IQR, 200–255), and median console time was 190 minutes (IQR, 165–210). Median blood loss was 200 mL (IQR, 150–300 mL), and there were no intraoperative complications or open conversion. In 10 patients with a follow-up period longer than 3 months, one patient experienced biochemical recurrence, and all patients required 0 to 1 pads per day. Of seven patients that were potent before surgery, four recovered erectile function sufficient for intercourse. Conclusions Our report shows the safety and feasibility of SP-RARP, and that the associated surgical outcomes with short-term follow-up are satisfactory.

Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is widely utilized across multiple surgical disciplines, including gynecology. To date, laparoscopy is considered a common surgical modality in children and adolescents to treat gynecological conditions. Robotic surgical devices were developed to circumvent the limitations of laparoscopy and have expanded the surgical armamentarium with better magnification, dexterity enhanced articulating instruments with 5-7 degrees of freedom, and ability to scale motion thus eliminating physiologic tremor. There are well-documented advantages of MIS over laparotomy, including decreased post-operative pain, shorter recovery times, and better cosmetic results. Indications for MIS in pediatric gynecology are reported in this review and technical considerations are described to highlight new treatment perspectives in children and adolescents, which have already been described in the literature regarding adult patients.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is a leading cause of death in men and despite improved surgical procedures that aid tumor resection, the risk of recurrence after surgery as a result of positive resection margins remains significant. Adjuvant chemotherapy is often required but this is associated with toxicity. Improved ways of delivering highly toxic chemotherapeutic drugs in a more controlled and targeted manner after the prostate has been removed during surgery could reduce the risk of recurrence and avoid systemic toxicity. The aim of this study was to develop a novel drug-device combination tissue scaffold that can be used to deliver the chemotherapeutic agent, docetaxel, into the tissue cavity that is created following radical prostatectomy. The device component investigated consisted of highly porous, poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) microparticles made using thermally induced phase separation. A facile method was established for loading docetaxel with high efficiency within one hour. Sustained drug release was observed from the microparticles when placed into a dynamic system simulating tissue perfusion. The drug released from the microparticles into perfusates collected at regular time intervals inhibited colony formation and exhibited sustained cytotoxicity against 3D spheroids of PC3 prostate cancer cells over 10 days. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the concept of combining docetaxel with the biodegradable microparticles at the point of care is technically feasible for achieving an effective drug-device combination tissue scaffold. This approach could provide an effective new approach for delivering adjuvant chemotherapy following radical prostatectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the status of robotic surgery currently, contextualizing the advances and improvements we can expect in the immediate future. Robotics continues to demonstrate increased utility and expansion in medicine, particularly surgery. When coupled with the imminent expiry of Intuitive patents in the next few years, it is timely to consider what we can expect to see from new platforms; what new features might we anticipate and what technology will be available to enhance and improve patient care. RECENT FINDINGS There really are no limits with the anticipated developments in the field of medical robotics. Multiple large companies and academic institutions continue to invest in design and production with the release of a number of platforms already having occurred, whereas others are to come in the near future. The main anticipated advances will be haptic feedback, decreased cost, improved theatre assimilation with open consoles permitting free communication and lower theatre footprint. The robot patient interface is to be enhanced with single port platforms in production with a better interface including haptic feedback. The addition of NOTES and smarter flexible robotics is the next key area of interest, whereas the introduction of technology with image guidance and networking where large data sets or connectivity permit increased clinical acumen to enhance decision making. SUMMARY We are at the cusp of a tipping point as the intellectual property for the first major robotic system in surgery comes to an end. It is likely to be a period of great opportunity with enhanced surgery and patient outcomes through significant innovation, multiple platforms nearing dissemination, with various technological advances. We anticipate this will yield a great period of innovation and diversity. Will we see a truly automated robot soon; the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robots are the limit.

Abstract
Pyeloplasty is one of the most common urological reconstructive interventions. Since the presentation of the first open pyeloplasty by Anderson and Hynes in 1949, the management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction has dramatically developed. The most immense progress was made in the 1990s with the introduction of laparoscopy. A multitude of new minimal surgical techniques have been introduced since then. In the last few years, the innovations were based on refinement of already-existing techniques and technology. With this aim, single-port surgery, three-dimensional vision for laparoscopy, robotic technology, and alternative techniques for creating the anastomosis-like fibrin glue have been introduced. This unsystematic review is timely, and the scientific interest is to present and discuss some of the latest advances in surgical techniques and different approaches for the intra- and post-operative management in pyeloplasty. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only review looking at the recent advances in urological surgical techniques for pyeloplasty during the last few years with a focus on new technology and surgical techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Single Port Orifice Robotic Technology (SPORT) Surgical System by Titan Medical Inc. is designed to overcome the inherent challenges of minimally invasive single-access procedures. The aim of this preclinical study was to evaluate the feasibility of various digestive surgery procedures using this novel surgical robotic platform. METHODS A total of 12 minimally invasive procedures were performed on six pigs (5 cholecystectomies, 3 Nissen fundoplications, 1 splenectomy and 1 hepatic pedicle dissection) and on one human cadaver (1 cholecystectomy and 1 Nissen fundoplication), by four laparoscopic surgeons. The usability of the device was assessed by means of the modified objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) score that was calculated and analyzed by two independent observers on the recorded videos. Surgeon feedback and recommendations were systematically recorded. RESULTS All procedures were successfully completed with the SPORT system. In general, surgeons reported to appreciate the intuitive interface and controls, the high-resolution 3D imaging, the dexterity of the end-effectors, and the ergonomic open control platform. Some features requiring optimization were also identified. The modified OSATS score demonstrated a learning curve effect for all device-related tasks. CONCLUSIONS A variety of abdominal procedures could be safely completed with the current SPORT prototype, in the preclinical setting. This preliminary feasibility experience is promising and encourages further development of single-port robotically assisted surgery.

Abstract
Robotic laparoendoscopic single-site (R-LESS) seems to be the next route in advancing minimal invasive surgery, with the potential for better cosmetic results and reduced patient morbidity compared with multi-port surgery. This review describes the history and development of (R-LESS) gynecologic surgery and outlines the latest advancements in the realm of gynecology. The review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. Pubmed and ClinicalTrials.gov (www.clinicaltrials.gov) were the main search engines utilized for retrieval of study data (1990 - present). The following subject headings and keywords were searched: "robotic laparoscopic single incision", "robotic laparoendoscopic single site", "single incision robotic surgery" and "single-port robotic surgery". All original research articles including randomized, non-randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, patient series, and case reports were included. The search produced a total of 1127 results. After duplicate removal, 452 remained, and each title and abstract was reviewed by 2 reviewers. Subsequently, 56 full texts were selected for full review and an additional 20 excluded, leaving 36 studies that were included in the final review. Based on the data gathered we reached the conclusion that R-LESS surgery is feasible, safe and has equivalent surgical outcomes as conventional LESS surgery; in addition to shorter recovery times, less postoperative pain and better cosmetic outcomes than robotic multi-port surgery. To conclude, R-LESS is a feasible approach with low complication rates, minimal blood loss and postsurgical pain, fast recovery, and virtually scar-free results. However, the lack of large comparative prospective randomized controlled studies prevents drawing absolute conclusions.

Abstract
Objective To assess the feasibility of single-port transperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (spRALP) and discuss its surgical technique. Methods A 60-year-old male was admitted with an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 13.89 ng/mL and confirmed with prostate cancer on biopsy showing three of 22 positive cores with a Gleason score of 3 + 4 = 7. Multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) and bone scintigraphy showed organ-confined disease. spRALP was performed using da Vinci Si HD surgical system, with access of a quadri-channel laparoscopic port placed supraumbilically. Two drainage tubes were placed before wound closure. The surgical procedure was largely in consistence with a conventional robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Results The surgery was successfully carried out with a duration of 152 min and an estimated blood loss of 100 mL. The patient was discharged on postoperative Day 4 after removal of both pelvic drainage tubes. Foley catheter was removed on postoperative Day 14. No major complications were encountered. Postoperative pathology showed a Gleason score of 3 + 4 = 7 with no extraprostatic extension and negative surgical margins. Conclusion Single-port robotic prostatectomy is feasible using the currently available robotic instruments in most Chinese robotic urological centers. Meticulous preoperative planning and careful patient selection are mandatory. Further studies concerning perioperative complications and pentafecta outcome compared with the conventional multi-port robotic prostatectomy is required.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we summarize research that has evaluated the role of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) and robotic surgery in pediatric urology, highlighting new and/or controversial ideas. RECENT FINDINGS The newest research developments over the last several years are studies that address generalizability of these techniques, ideal patient factors, extrapolation to more complex surgeries, and comparative studies to more traditional techniques to define the associated costs and benefits, as well as patient-centered outcomes. Specifically in the field of LESS, addressing the limitations of suboptimal vision, instrument crowding, and loss of triangulation have been a focus. The literature is now replete with new applications for robotic surgery as well as descriptions of the specific technical challenges inherent to pediatrics. Robotic surgery and LESS are areas of growth in pediatric urology that allow continual innovation and expansion of technology within a surgeon's armamentarium.
