Abstract -analyses of randomized controlled trials and propensity-score-matched cohorts have shown reduced rates of conversion to open. Some studies have also shown benefits including improved short-term outcomes and oncological benefits. However, robotic ultra-low anterior

Abstract to be beneficial to the surgeon and can improve safety. Method(s): In this paper a force-feedback enabled surgical robotic system is described in which the developed force-sensing surgical tool is discussed in detail. The developed surgical tool makes use of a

Abstract . Inclusion criteria included English language articles directly comparing TaTME and robotic TME. RESULT(S): Seven hundred and fourteen studies were identified, and only six studies were included for this meta-analysis. A total of 1065 participants, of which

Abstract of 48,132. The majority of operations were performed bilaterally, and participants were monitored for up to 10 years. The pooled patency rate was the highest following robot-assisted vasovasostomy (94.4%), followed by pure microsurgical vasovasostomy (87

Abstract the high costs of the technology. Methods A retrospective cohort study of all MVR patients operated on within one hospital network between June 2005 and June 2008 was carried out. This timeframe did not include the initial year of robotic MVR to minimize

Abstract stay was 2.4 days (range 1 to 11 days). Conclusion(s): This series describes Australia's largest published cohort of robotically managed uterine cancer cases. It demonstrates the safe, useful, and efficient nature of robotic surgery in the management
