Robotic Surgery and Functional Esophageal Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Sara Vertaldi et al.

Summary: The laparoscopic fundoplication is considered the gold standard surgical treatment for functional diseases of the esophago-gastric junction (EGJ). This meta-analysis aimed to compare functional outcomes between robotic fundoplication and conventional laparoscopic fundoplication. Sixteen studies were included, with only four being randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The analysis showed no significant differences between the two groups in terms of 30-day readmission rates, persistence of symptomatology at follow-up, recurrence, and reoperation. Further research is needed to better evaluate the advantages of robotic fundoplication.

The Atlantic divide: contrasting surgical robotics training in the USA, UK and Ireland

Tamara M. H. Gall et al.

Summary: The uptake of robotic surgery is increasing worldwide, but there is a higher usage in the USA compared to the UK and Ireland. This difference in exposure to robotic surgery during general surgical training was assessed through a survey among trainees. The results showed that US trainees had significantly more experience and training in robotic surgery than their UK and Irish counterparts.

The robotic learning curve for a newly appointed colorectal surgeon

Sabah Uddin Saqib et al.

Summary: This study examines the experience and learning curve of a single laparoscopic trained surgeon in performing robotic colorectal surgery for low rectal and anal malignancies using the da Vinci robotic system. The results show a short learning curve in robotic rectal surgery with low complication rates. This suggests that new colorectal surgeons can be trained to perform this surgery in a short time with proper training and proctoring.

Laparoscopic versus open distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Nadia A. G. Hakkenbrak et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis aims to compare laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) and open distal gastrectomy (ODG) in terms of short-term and long-term surgical outcomes, recovery, and oncological results. The results show that LDG leads to less intraoperative blood loss, faster patient recovery, and fewer complications. Moreover, LDG meets the clinical requirements in terms of lymph node yield, adequacy of resection, and survival.

Cumulative summation analysis of learning curve for robotic-assisted hiatal hernia repairs

Emily L. Lin et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the learning curve for robotic-assisted hiatal hernia repairs using CUSUM analysis, finding that the training phase is achieved after 40 cases and a high level of mastery is reached after approximately 85 cases. The three distinct phases identified provide valuable insights for surgical competency assessment during robotic surgery training.

Defining benchmarks for fellowship training in foregut surgery: a 10-year review of fellowship council index cases

Joshua J. Weis et al.

Summary: This study aims to provide data-driven benchmarks for defining accreditation criteria for foregut fellowships. Analysis of case log data of fellows trained from 2009 to 2019 shows a significant increase in the number of foregut cases and endoscopies over the past decade, with hiatal/paraoesophageal hernia repair having the most notable growth. Additionally, the proportion of robotic cases has been increasing year by year, while open cases and laparoscopic/thoracoscopic cases have been decreasing annually.

Robotic Foregut Surgery in the Veterans Health Administration: Increasing Prevalence, Decreasing Operative Time, and Improving Outcomes

Michael A. Napolitano et al.

Summary: This study compares 30-day outcomes between robotic-assisted foregut surgery (RAF) and laparoscopic-assisted foregut surgery in the Veterans Health Administration. The study found that compared to laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery resulted in shorter operative time and reduced rates of pulmonary complications, acute renal failure, and venous thromboembolism, but had an increased risk of infectious complications.

Robotic versus laparoscopic left colectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Leonardo Solaini et al.

Summary: This study reviews new evidence on robotic left colectomy compared to laparoscopic left colectomy. It found that robotic procedures had a lower conversion rate to open surgery, longer operative time, and lower rates of overall complications. However, these benefits were not confirmed in procedures performed for malignancies.

Reappraisal learning curve of laparoscopic Roux-en Y gastric bypass: retrospective results of one hundred and eight cases from a low-volume unit

Hung-Chieh Lo et al.

Summary: The study showed that the learning curve of laparoscopic Roux-en Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) can be shortened to approximately 30 cases when selectively performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons, leading to reduced operation time and hospital stay. However, with increasing surgical experience, there was no further reduction in 30-day complications. Further follow-up is needed to verify the long-term safety and applicability of this approach.
