Robotic Retroperitoneal Paraaortic Lymphadenectomy at Donostia University Hospital

Robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in gynaecological neoplasms: comparison of extraperitoneal and transperitoneal lymphadenectomy

“…A total of 107 and 540 search results were retrieved during the performed search in PubMed and Scopus databases, respectively, among of which 18 studies were identified as eligible for inclusion in our review [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][39][40][41]. One additional study was identified through hand-searching of references [38].…”

The Safety and Feasibility of Robotic-Assisted Lymph Node Staging in Early-Stage Ovarian Cancer

“…5,16,22Y25 Numerous early stage ovarian cancer studies have evaluated the utility of laparoscopic staging, 16,22,23,26 although there are scant data documenting the use of this procedure via robotic-assisted surgery (Table 3). 19,20 In the current investigation, we scrutinized the data from 26 early-stage ovarian cancer patients for whom roboticassisted disease staging was indicated. We encountered a reasonable operative time of 2.90 hours for the study group, which is comparable to the 2.32 hours reported by Feuer et al 20 that involved a comparison of robotic-assisted surgery (n = 63) and abdominal surgery (n = 26) in the management of ovarian cancer.…”

“…However, from their group of robotic-surgery patients, merely 25 (39.7%) had early-stage disease; moreover, only 84.1% of the total endoscopic patients underwent a lymphadenectomy. In another study, Gorostidi et al 19 reported their experience with 13 gynecologic cancer patients who underwent a robotic-assisted lymphadenectomy, of which 2 (15.4%) had a diagnosis of early-stage ovarian cancer; they reported a mean surgery time of 5.4 hours for the entire study population.…”

“…13,17,18 Despite the reported similarities between laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery, the data encompassing roboticassisted systematic lymphadenectomy in patients with earlystage ovarian cancer are quite limited. 19,20 Hence, the primary objectives of the current investigation were to evaluate the feasibility and perioperative outcomes associated with roboticassisted comprehensive staging in the management of earlystage ovarian cancer.…”

Tailored Radiotherapy Treatment in Advanced Cervical Cancer. Early Experience of Robotics in Surgical Innovation

“…The trocar disposition we use is quite similar to the one we use in classical laparoscopy [21]. We have a wide range of robot triangulation, with no collisions and the assistant fits more comfortably (never at all with robotics).…”
