Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy with the Novel Hugo Robotic System: Initial Experience and Optimal Surgical Set-up at a Tertiary Referral Robotic Center

Carlo A. Bravi et al.

Summary: This study describes the first five robot-assisted radical prostatectomies performed with the new Hugo RAS system in Europe. The procedures were completed successfully without any complications or technical failures. The study demonstrates the safety and feasibility of RARP with the Hugo RAS system.

Perioperative Outcomes of Open, Laparoscopic, and Robotic Partial Nephrectomy: A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study (The RECORd 2 Project)

Carlo Andrea Bravi et al.

Summary: The study compared the perioperative outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robotic partial nephrectomy surgeries, showing that minimally invasive techniques had lower complication rates compared to open surgery, with robotic surgery having the longest warm ischemia time. Overall, the choice of surgical technique did not significantly affect the likelihood of achieving a modified trifecta, but in less complex lesions, robotic PN had higher rates of achieving the trifecta compared to other techniques.

Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy: 7-year outcomes

Umberto Carbonara et al.

Summary: A study on 85 patients who underwent RAPN showed excellent 7-year oncologic and functional outcomes, comparable to those achieved in historical series of open and laparoscopic surgery.

Toward Individualized Approaches to Partial Nephrectomy: Assessing the Correlation Between Ischemia Time and Patient Health Status (RECORD2 Project)

Carlo Andrea Bravi et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of preoperative AKI risk and ischemia time during partial nephrectomy on the probability of AKI. It found that individuals with different health statuses have varying susceptibility to AKI based on ischemia time, emphasizing the importance of individualized consideration of ischemia time in intra- and postoperative management.

Gender Disparity in Cystectomy Postoperative Outcomes: Propensity Score Analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database

Laura Bukavina et al.

Summary: This study found that females undergoing cystectomy for bladder cancer have higher risks of infection, transfusion, and readmission in the immediate postoperative period, potentially leading to worse long-term outcomes. Ovarian preservation in cystectomy is a safe and feasible option for selected patients.
