Background Robotic-assisted surgery is used with increasing frequency in general surgery
for a variety of applications. In spite of this increase in usage, the learning curve is not yet …

Introduction Robotic-assisted rectal cancer surgery offers multiple advantages for surgeons,
and it seems to yield the same clinical outcomes as regards the short-time follow-up of …

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the learning curve and complications
of unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and …

Objective: To evaluate the complication-based learning curve and identify learning-
associated complications of robotic gastrectomy. Summary Background Data: With the …

Background Robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) is performed increasingly, but knowledge
of the number of cases required to attain procedural proficiency is lacking. The aim of this …

Background Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD), an advanced minimally
invasive technique, has demonstrated advantages to open pancreaticoduodenectomy …

BACKGROUND: Robotic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer has rapidly increased
and has shown short-term outcomes comparable to conventional laparoscopic total …

Background The standard treatment of rectal carcinoma is surgical resection according to
the total mesorectal excision principle, either by open, laparoscopic, robot-assisted or …

Background This study aims to assess the learning curve of robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG)
and robotic total gastrectomy (RTG) for gastric cancer. Methods Data on consecutive …

This study sought to identify the learning curves of console time (CT) for robotic
pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) and robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP). Perioperative …
