A robotic system that promises to improve the quality of 'keyhole' bowel cancer surgery is being put to the test for the first time. The worldwide trial, led by the University of Leeds, UK, will show whether robotic assistance makes it easier to remove bowel tumours using laparoscopic or '...
Precision approach with robotic surgery leads to organ preservation. Bowel endometriosis requires a multidisciplinary management to improve patient outcomes. This study evaluates perioperative outcomes of bowel endometriosis undergoing multidisciplinary planning and robotic surgery. Methods: Consecutive cases of ...
“Towards the end of August, in a week, I lost four pounds and I couldn’t find a reason for losing that much weight in a week so I went to the doctors.” After her GP sent her for a colonoscopy, her bowel cancer was discovered. Ms Lockton, who also had breast cancer in...
However, they did find a quicker return of bowel function and shorter hospital stay in the laparoscopic group (12). The Comparison of Open Versus Laparoscopic Surgery for mid or low Rectal Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy (COREAN) trial had an even lower conversion rate of 1.2% and a...
It is assumed that robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) may facilitate complex pelvic dissection for rectal cancer compared to the laparoscopic-assisted resection (LAR). The aim of this study was to compare perioperative morbidity, short- and long-term oncologic, and functional outcomes between the RAS ...
Colectomy is the removal of a diseased section of the colon. If you are a candidate for surgery, talk to your doctor about all options including a robotic colectomy.
Effect of robotic-assisted vs conventional laparoscopic surgery on risk of conversion to open laparotomy among patients undergoing resection for rectal cancer: the ROLARR randomized clinical trial. JAMA. 2017;318(16):1569-1580. doi:10.1001/jama.2017.7219PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 13. Park JS, ...
Robotic peritoneal mesometrial resection with targeted or systemic lymphadenectomy demonstrated feasibility with acceptable complication rates in intermediate/high-risk endometrial cancer requiring second surgery after prior hysterectomy. Uterus Cancer: © freshidea - stock.adobe.com Robotic peritoneal mesom...
Laparoscopic surgery is widely used in abdominal emergency surgery (AES), and the possibility of extending this approach to the more recent robotic surgery (RS) arouses great interest. The slow diffusion of robotic technology mainly due to high costs and
Learn about minimally invasive options for rectal resection surgery. One common procedure is a low anterior resection.
