Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 60 cases of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) and found a significant decrease in operative time after 21 RPD cases. This suggests that technical proficiency in RPD improves after a certain number of procedures have been performed.

Summary: Current evidence suggests that robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) is feasible with a safety profile similar to open and laparoscopic procedures, but major intraoperative bleeding may lead to emergency conversion. Achieving proficiency in RPD may lead to superior outcomes compared to open procedures after a certain number of operations.

Summary: This study evaluated the perioperative outcomes and learning curves of robotic-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) performed by one single surgeon. The results showed that the times of resection and reconstruction procedures significantly shortened after 30 and 45 cases, respectively. The estimated intraoperative blood loss and the incidence of post-operative pancreatic fistula decreased significantly after 20 and 120 cases, respectively. There were no significant differences in other outcomes between the two groups.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 300 consecutive patients at three European centers, finding a shorter learning curve with hybrid PD compared to laparoscopic and robotic PD. In the implementation of a MIPD program, a stepwise approach might be beneficial.

Summary: In this study, we provided a detailed description of the technical challenges associated with robotic pancreatoduodenectomy with vein resection (RPD-VR) and shared tips and tricks for a successful operation. Our results showed that RPD-VR can be effectively performed using different vascular techniques for different types of vein resection. We strongly recommend that RPD-VR should be performed by experienced surgeons at high volume centers.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the outcome of laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy significantly improves with the learning curve and patient selection. For safe implementation, the procedure should be indicated in patients at lower risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula during the early learning period.

Summary: The learning curve of the surgeon has a significant impact on the outcomes of robotic hepatectomy. Proficiency in this approach can be achieved after performing a certain number of major and minor cases. Proficiency is associated with improved perioperative outcomes, including decreased blood loss, shorter operative time, and reduced complications and hospital stay. This study provides valuable guidance for surgeons and programs adopting robotic hepatectomy.

Summary: Pancreatoduodenectomy is the preferred treatment for pancreatic head tumors, and robotic resection and reconstruction of the SMV without graft during the procedure is safe and feasible in patients with invasion of the vessels. The proposed technique is particularly useful for cases where extended resection is required.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes between closed platform robotic system and open platform robotic system for total hip arthroplasty. Results showed that there were no significant differences in surgical time, estimated blood loss, and Harris Hip score between the two systems. Both robotic systems displayed similar learning curves and precise positioning of the acetabular component.

Summary: Comparing remote endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) and robotic thyroidectomy (RT), it is found that RT via a bilateral axillo-breast approach (RT-BABA) performs better in some surgical outcomes. However, further prospective studies are needed to confirm the safety of RT-BABA.

Summary: The learning curve for robotic hiatal hernia repair can be shortened to as little as 7-15 cases by following a clearly organized learning pathway with proctoring, which ensures patient safety and accelerates the adoption and integration of novel surgical techniques.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed all consecutive LLRs performed between 2006 and 2020, dividing the time into three periods. The results suggest that a stepwise approach from basic to advanced procedures and using hand-assisted or hybrid approach in the early phases may help maintain low morbidity in specialized centers.
