“…Robotic surgery shows several advantages over conventional laparoscopy; these include a shorter learning curve and that experience in laparoscopy may be not prerequisite (Yim and Kim, 2012). However, major drawbacks are lack of tactile sensation, less cosmetically appealing due to more and larger incisions, a need for special training, and higher cost (Mohammadzadeh and Safdari, 2014). Recently, it was reported to have limited benefit to patients with benign gynecologic diseases in terms of effectiveness and safety (Liu et al, 2012).…”

Background: To determine surgical outcomes, perioperative complications, and patient outcomes in gynecologic cancer patients undergoing robotic surgery. Materials and Methods: Surgical outcomes, including docking time, total operative time, console time, estimated blood loss (EBL), conversion rate and perioperative complications were retrospectively reviewed in 30 gynecologic cancer patients undergoing robotic surgery. Patient outcomes included recovery time and patient satisfaction, as scored by a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0-10. Results: The operations included 24 hysterectomies with pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLD) and/or para-aortic lymphadenectomy, four radical hysterectomies with PLD, and two radical trachelectomies with PLD. Mean docking time was 12.8±9.7 min, total operative time was 345.5±85.0 min, and console time was 281.9±78.6 min. These times were decreased in the second half of the cases. There was no conversion rate. Three intraoperative complications, including one external iliac artery injury, one bladder injury, and one massive bleeding requiring blood transfusion were reported. Postoperative complications occurred in eight patients, most were minor. Only one patient had port herniation that required reoperation. Mean hospital stay was 3.5±1.7 days, and recovery time was 14.2±8.1 days. Two-thirds of patients felt very satisfied and one-third felt satisfied; the mean satisfaction score was 9.4 +0.9. Two patients with stage III endometrial cancer developed isolated port site metastasis at five and 13 months postoperatively. Conclusions: Robotic surgery for gynecologic cancer appears to be feasible, with acceptable perioperative complication rate, fast recovery time and high patient satisfaction.

“…Because of these reasons, the patient will have better post-op recovery, improved functional outcomes without compromising the oncological principles. However, there are some disadvantages in robotic surgery, such as anesthetic challenges because of the extreme positions, lack of haptic feedback which may result in cutting through the tumor, increased duration of the surgery, and the increased cost incurred [3].…”

“…Nevertheless, many challenges persist, such as the absence of surgical community support, high costs, availability of different sizes, and lack of tactile/haptic feedback. Surgeons also need more evidence and proper support from physicians [57,60,62,63]. Microbeads, microgels, and other nanodevices can be assembled within magnetic fields [53][54][55][56] to provide a cost-effective theragnostic without potentially toxic interactions.…”

Background: Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ASCC) is an infrequent neoplasia that represents 2% of the digestive tumors and it has a growing incidence. Objective: This investigation (i) studies the pathogenesis of an increasingly prevalent disease, (ii) its treatment and prognosis along with (iii) a bibliographical review of the main characteristics of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) as well as its effects on humans. Methods: A literature review is performed, comprising articles up to 2019 and cross-research manuscripts with the initial research. Results: Several studies demonstrate the HPV role as a significant risk factor to the development of ASCC, as well as its higher incidence in HIV-positive individuals and in those who engage in receptive anal intercourse. Future trends in theragnostic using information technology are examined. Conclusions: ASCC is a neoplasm mostly associated with HPV. Many studies are needed to improve the treatment as well as in the evaluation of the tumor characteristics.
