Summary: The study compared the retrospective data of retrospective, learning curve, cost, and case time of Senhance total laparoscopic hysterectomy with similar da Vinci robot cases and laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy cases. The results show that the Senhance system may provide a lower-cost approach with comparable case times compared to da Vinci robotic cases in benign hysterectomy procedures.

Summary: This study developed an AI algorithm for recognizing surgical phases in laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos. The AI model showed an accuracy of 89% in phase recognition, comparable to the agreement between expert surgeons. The findings suggest the potential applications of AI in improving patient safety during surgery.

Summary: The review focuses on Leonardo da Vinci's work and thought related to fluid mechanics, highlighting his use of experimentation as an important mechanism for natural fluid flows. However, it points out that his conclusions did not always align with modern fluid mechanics. Leonardo's works depict multiple and ambiguous meanings of turbulence, while also exploring concepts similar to modern ideas.

Summary: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and liver resections do not require or only need minimal antimicrobial prophylaxis based on recent evidence. A multi-modal intervention was implemented to increase compliance to these regimens, and results showed no significant increase in 30-day hospital readmission rates despite a significant rise in compliance after the intervention period.

Summary: Leonardo Da Vinci left many clues, rules and knowledge about the consequences of friction and methods to reduce it in his manuscripts. The Italian polymath studied aspects related to wear, lubrication, and contact mechanics, which form the basis of modern tribology. His knowledge, obtained through intuitive means, led to solutions and concepts without complex processes of reasoning. Through sketches and reflections, Da Vinci enhanced his understanding of the origin and consequences of relative movement between bodies, showing the importance in present-day tribology.

Summary: By comparing the Si/Xi and SP systems, we found that the SP system has more advantages in single-incision robotic cholecystectomy, including shorter operative time and more convenient docking and techniques. Although the proportion of patients with chronic or acute cholecystitis was higher in the SP group, there was no difference in postoperative complication rates compared to the Si/Xi group.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes of robot-assisted pyeloplasty using different robotic systems. The study found that the KD-RAP group had longer operation and stitching times, but there were no significant differences between the groups in terms of success rates and complications.

Summary: This study reviewed 20 consecutive major robotic hepatectomies, showing that advanced techniques to reduce blood loss may optimize safety and minimize complications in complex minimally invasive procedures. The patients had a good postoperative recovery, without any mortality within 90 days.

Summary: The goal of this study was to quantify and compare the workload and teamwork during robot-assisted prostatectomy using multi-port da Vinci Xi (MP) and single-port da Vinci SP (SP) robots. The results showed that the workload was lower and the teamwork was better in the MP group compared to the SP group. The significant differences between the two surgical procedures may be due to factors other than the experience of the surgeon and surgical team, such as robot design. The study also suggested that more procedures may be needed to achieve proficiency with the SP system.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety and feasibility of the Da Vinci SP robot system for rectal cancer surgery and found that it had shorter operation time compared with the currently used robot system, but similar outcomes in other measures. These results indicate that the SP robotic system is safe and technically feasible in the short-term.
