Summary: This study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of robotic right hemicolectomy (RRH) and laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LHR) in octogenarians. The results showed that robotic surgery did not increase the risk of complications compared to laparoscopic surgery in older patients, indicating that it could be a viable alternative for minimally invasive surgery in the elderly.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the cost association between robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive right hemicolectomy. Results showed that robotic surgery was associated with significantly higher technical variable direct cost, increased supply cost, and overall cost compared to laparoscopic surgery, while there were no significant differences in post-operative outcomes.

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: This study compared the outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision (CME) for right-sided colon cancer. The results showed no significant differences in complications, pathologic outcomes, and survival rates between the two groups. However, the robotic group had a lower conversion rate to open surgery.

Summary: This study compared outcomes in patients undergoing robotic right hemicolectomy (RRH) and laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH) and found no statistical difference in postoperative morbidity, mortality, and early oncological outcomes. However, RRH had a longer duration of surgery, influenced by training residents in docking the robot and technically challenging patients. Operating time has shortened with further experience. Incorporating an intracorporeal anastomosis technique in RRH offers the potential to improve outcomes compared to LRH.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the anesthesia experience of 28 patients with thymoma or myasthenia gravis who underwent robotic-assisted thoracic thymectomy. The results showed that fast-track anesthesia management is an important component of the enhanced recovery program and has achieved safe and feasible procedures, but there are still challenges during the operation.

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 retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 42 children with choledochal cysts and compared the differences between da Vinci robotic surgery and laparoscopy. The results showed that the robot-assisted group had better postoperative recovery than the laparoscopic group. Therefore, the da Vinci system has advantages in treating pediatric choledochal cysts.

Summary: This study compared the safety, feasibility, and short-term efficacy of robot-assisted right hemicolectomy (RARH) and totally robotic right hemicolectomy (TRRH). The results showed that TRRH had shorter incision lengths, operative times, intraoperative blood losses, postoperative hospital stays, drainage tube removal times, and improved pain scores and postoperative complication frequencies compared to RARH.

Summary: This study analyzed the postoperative inflammation status, short-term outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic left hemicolectomy. The results showed that robotic-assisted surgery led to decreased hospital stay, lower complication rates, and reduced systemic stress response compared to laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, robotic-assisted left hemicolectomy is a safe and cost-effective procedure that may improve patient outcomes.

Summary: This study retrospectively compared the short- and long-term outcomes of robotic- and laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomies. The results showed that the robotic group had shorter recovery times and hospital stays compared to the laparoscopic group, with no significant differences in other outcomes. This indicates that robotic-assisted right hemicolectomy is non-inferior to laparoscopic-assisted surgery in all aspects.
