Summary: Comparison between minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and laparotomy in patients with stage I uterine serous carcinoma (USC) showed no difference in outcomes, and MIS can reduce surgical morbidity.

Summary: In this retrospective study of 477 patients who underwent laparoscopic and robotic surgery for adrenal masses, it was found that the complication rates were similar between the robotic and laparoscopic groups, with tumor size being the sole predictive factor for overall complications.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 146 patients who underwent tumor enucleation for localized RCC, showing that tumor enucleation with laparoscopic or robotic approach appears to be oncologically safe with experienced surgeons, as indicated by high cancer-specific survival rates, recurrence-free survival rates, and overall survival rates at 5 and 10 years of follow-up. Prospective studies with more patients and longer follow-up are needed for further evaluation of oncologic safety after tumor enucleation.

Summary: The objective of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of robotic and laparoscopic total gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer. The results showed that robotic surgery had advantages over laparoscopic surgery in terms of blood loss, lymph node retrieval, and certain laboratory indicators.

Summary: The study compared the outcomes of different surgical approaches (RDP, LDP, and ODP) in the treatment of PDAC patients, showing no significant differences in baseline characteristics and postoperative complications among the three approaches. The different surgical approaches did not have a significant impact on overall survival rates.

Summary: A population-based retrospective cohort study using Korean National Health Insurance database data from January 2012 to December 2016 revealed that hospital stay, postoperative complications, and cost were more favorable in the RS and LS groups compared to the OS group, with significantly longer five-year overall survival rates in the RS and LS groups. The study provides evidence supporting RS as a safe surgical alternative to LS and OS, particularly in low-risk endometrial cancer patients.

Summary: Robot-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer showed favorable surgical and oncologic outcomes, with low conversion to laparotomy rate and perioperative complications. Age and BMI did not significantly impact the surgical outcomes.

Summary: Robotic colorectal surgery offers advantages over conventional laparoscopy in right colectomy and left colectomy by improving surgical outcomes, but not in low anterior resection which showed no significant difference and increased risk of serious complications. These findings are important for the surgical management discussion of patients with colorectal cancer.

Summary: Older women with endometrial cancer have low survival rates and high disease recurrence rates. Robotic surgery is safe and may improve perioperative outcomes in older women.

Summary: This study aimed to report a single surgeon's experience on robotic rectal resection (RRR) for cancer, focusing on the analysis of oncologic outcomes, including pathological features and long-term results; under appropriate logistic and operative conditions, robotic surgery for rectal cancer proves to be oncologically effective, with adequate pathological results and long-term outcomes. It also offers acceptable peri-operative outcomes, further confirming the safety and feasibility of the technique.

Summary: Robotic surgery may be a better choice for elderly patients with endometrial carcinoma as it reduces the risk of overall and peri-operative complications compared to laparotomy, especially in cases of major complications, and also shortens the length of hospital stay. The risk of overall complications decreases with increasing patient age.

Summary: Robotic-assisted distal pancreatectomy (RDP) appears to have advantages over laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) in terms of spleen preservation, surgical technique, and conversion rate, but it is more costly. There is no significant difference between RDP and LDP in terms of postoperative complications, except for 30-day mortality.

Summary: This study found no significant advantage of robotic-assisted revisional bariatric surgery, but instead showed a non-inferior efficacy compared to standard laparoscopy.

Summary: This study evaluated the peri-operative and oncological outcomes of elderly endometrial cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic surgery, finding no significant differences in surgical and survival outcomes between the two groups. However, robotic surgery showed lower blood losses and longer operative times compared to laparoscopic surgery. Ultimately, neither approach demonstrated superiority in terms of survival outcomes, highlighting the need for individual evaluation to determine the best surgical approach.
