Summary: This study compared the surgical outcomes between robotic single-site plus two port myomectomy (RSTM) and conventional robotic multi-port myomectomy (CRM). The results showed that RSTM had a shorter operative time, less hemoglobin decrement, and shorter duration of hospital stay compared to CRM.

Summary: This study compared the surgical outcomes of single-port access total laparoscopic hysterectomy (SPA-TLH) and hybrid robotic single-site hysterectomy (RSSH). A total of 64 patients underwent either hybrid RSSH or SPA-TLH for benign gynecologic disease. The results showed that there were no significant differences in surgical outcomes between the two groups, but the hybrid RSSH group had a shorter colpotomy time and a longer vaginal cuff closure time.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the short-term postoperative outcomes of single-port robotic (SPR) using da Vinci SP (R) system and single port laparoscopic (SPL) right hemicolectomy and determine whether the novel SPR system is safe and feasible. The time to the first bowel movement was significantly shorter in the SPR group compared to the SPL group, with no differences in pathologic outcomes or postoperative complications. In conclusion, SPR is a safe and feasible surgical technique that has an advantage in the time to first postoperative bowel movement over SPL with no other complications.

Summary: Robot-assisted minimally invasive key-hole surgeries, including multi-port laparoscopy and single port laparoscopy, have seen rapid development. A stem-optimized robotic surgical tool (SORST) is proposed to facilitate single port laparoscopy with a continuum wrist and a kinematically optimized curved stem. The rigid curved stem of SORST reduces collisions and maintains payload capabilities, while the continuum wrist enhances distal dexterity. An instantaneous inverse kinematics framework is proposed to avoid collisions and meet constraints and task requirements.

Summary: Single-port robotic radical prostatectomy shows advantages in shorter hospital stay and lower analgesic requirement compared to multiple-port robotic radical prostatectomy. However, there is no significant difference in operative time, blood loss, complication rate, or positive surgical margins. More randomized trials with long-term follow-up are needed for valid comparisons.

Summary: In this study, the glove port was found to outperform the SILS (TM) port in both MISTELS tasks, with higher scores and better maneuverability. This suggests that the glove port could be a cost-effective alternative for single-port laparoscopic veterinary surgery.
