BACKGROUND: Symptomatic lymphoceles present the most common complication of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND). No surgical technique has so far shown success in reducing the incidence rate, but several retrospective studies have shown the beneficial effect of the fixation of the peritoneum. OBJECTIVE: To introduce a modification in the technique of fixing the peritoneum to the pubic bone and to confirm whether this intervention reduces the incidence of lymphoceles. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A prospective randomized (1:1) single-center one-sided blind study was conducted in patients with localized prostate cancer (cT1-2cN0M0) indicated for RARP with ePLND operated between December 2019 and June 2021. In the intervention group, the free flap of the peritoneum was fixed to the pubic bone. In the control group, the peritoneal flap was left free without fixation. SURGICAL PROCEDURE: In the intervention group, the free flap of the peritoneum was fixed to the pubic bone (PerFix) so that lateral holes were left, allowing drainage of lymph from the pelvis into the abdominal cavity, where it would be resorbed. The iliac vessels and obturator fossa remained uncovered by the peritoneum and the bladder. MEASUREMENTS: The primary objective was to evaluate the frequency of symptomatic lymphoceles during follow-up. The secondary endpoints were the radiological presence of lymphoceles on computed tomography of the pelvis carried out 6 wk after surgery, the volume of the lymphoceles, and the degree of severe (Clavien-Dindo ≥3) complications. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Of the 260 randomized patients, 245 were evaluated in the final analysis-123 in the intervention and 122 in the control group. The median follow-up was 595 d. There were no differences between the groups regarding clinical and pathological variables. The median of 17 nodes removed was the same in both groups (p = 0.961). Symptomatic lymphoceles occurred in 17 patients (6.9%), while in the intervention group these were found in three (2.4%) versus 14 (11.5%) in the control group (p = 0.011). The number of radiologically detected asymptomatic lymphoceles did not differ (p = 0.095). There was no significant difference in lymphocele volume between the two groups (p = 0.118). The rate of serious complications (Clavien 3a and 3b) was 4.8% in the intervention group and 9.1% in the control group (p = 0.587). A multivariate logistic regression model of symptomatic lymphocele occurrence was created with significant factors: body mass index (odds ratio [OR] = 1.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.03, 1.26], p = 0.012) and intervention (OR = 4.6, 95% CI = [1.28, 16.82], p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Fixation of the peritoneum (PerFix) reduced the incidence of symptomatic lymphoceles in RARP with ePLND. We found no difference in the frequency of asymptomatic lymphocele development. The volume of the detected lymphoceles was similar. PATIENT SUMMARY: In this study, we compared the rate of development of postoperative complications using the peritoneal fixation technique with that of a nonfixation control group for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymphadenectomy. Fixation of the peritoneum should obviate the development of severe complications in the postoperative period.

Úvod: Chirurgická léčba je nejdůležitější součástí multimodální léčby karcinomu rekta. V posledních letech je upřednostňován miniinvazivní způsob operování. Mezi miniinvazivní operace řadíme laparoskopii a nově robotickou chirurgii. Robotický operační systém byl vyvinut ve snaze eliminovat nedostatky laparoskopie, zejména paralelní postavení nástrojů a jejich omezený pohyb. Výhody robotického systému by měly být nejvíce patrny v úzkém a hlubokém prostoru, tedy v oblasti malé pánve. Cílem práce je analyzovat krátkodobé výsledky roboticky asistované operace pro nádory rekta. Metody: Jedná se o retrospektivní analýzu souboru 220 pacientů s nádory rekta operovaných roboticky asistovaně. Soubor byl analyzován z hlediska délky operace, krevní ztráty, počtu konverzí k otevřené operaci, kompletnosti TME, pozitivity distálního a cirkumferenčního resekčního okraje, délky hospitalizace a počtu 30denních rehospitalizací. Dále byla hodnocena 30denní pooperační morbidita a mortalita pomocí Clavien-Dindo skóre. Výsledky: Roboticky asistované operace trvaly průměrně 184 minut. Celkově bylo konvertováno 5 operací, tedy 2,3 %. Kompletního mezorekta bylo dosaženo u 90 % pacientů. Závažné pooperační komplikace, Clavien-Dindo skóre 3–4, bylo zjištěno u 14 % pacientů. Komplikace v anastomóze se vyskytla u 9,6 % nemocných. Délka hospitalizace byla v průměru 8,4 dne. Závěr: Robotická operace pro nádory rekta je metoda bezpečná s přijatelným množstvím komplikací. Nespornou výhodou robotického systému je zavedený způsob školení a vysoká míra standardizace operačních postupů, díky kterým je možné dosáhnout v krátkém čase velmi dobrých výsledků. V případě peroperačních a časných pooperačních výsledků robotická chirurgie v některých parametrech převyšuje laparoskopickou chirurgii.
Introduction: Surgical treatment is the most important part of multimodal management of rectal cancer. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery has been preferred. Minimally invasive procedures include laparoscopy and more recently robotic surgery. Robotic surgery has been developed to eliminate the shortcomings of laparoscopy, especially the parallel position of instruments and their limited movement. The advantages of a robotic system should be most apparent in narrow and deep spaces, i.e. the lesser pelvis. The aim of this study was to analyze the short-term results of robot-assisted surgery for rectal tumors. Methods: The study is a retrospective analysis of a cohort of 220 patients with robotic-assisted surgery for rectal cancer. The cohort was analyzed in terms of length of surgery, blood loss, number of conversions to open surgery, completeness of TME, distal and circumferential resection margin positivity, length of hospital stays and number of 30-day rehospitalizations. In addition, 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality were assessed using the Clavien-Dindo score. Results: Robotic-assisted surgeries lasted an average of 184 minutes. In total, 5 operations were converted, i.e. 2.3%. Complete mesorectum was achieved in 90% of the patients. Severe postoperative complications, Clavien-Dindo score 3–4, were observed in 14% of the patients. Anastomotic complications occurred in 9.6% of the patients. The mean length of the hospital stay was 8.4 days. Conclusion: Robotic surgery for rectal tumors is a safe method with an acceptable rate of complications. An established training method and a high degree of standardization of the surgical procedures are indisputable advantages of robotic systems, making it possible to achieve very good results in a short time. In terms of perioperative and early postoperative outcomes, robotic surgery outperforms laparoscopic surgery in some parameters.

BACKGROUND: We report our experience in starting RATS (robotic-assisted thoracic surgery) lobectomy program during COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Data from 20 consecutive cases undergoing RATS lobectomy between August 2020 and April 2021 were prospectively accumulated into our database. RESULTS: The mean operational time was 235±69 minutes (median 210, range 175 to 370). Conversion-to-open rate was 5 %. One patient was converted to an open procedure during surgery due to surgical bleeding. One patient (5 %), with sever chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), had prolonged air leak with chest drainage 11 days and conservative treatment. Morbidity rate was 10 % (2 patients). Estimated costs of RATS lobectomy in our department were $9,590 (range $8,250–$12,730). 30-days mortality was 0%. CONCLUSIONS: Safe robotic surgery is based not only on improved robotic equipment, but also on good technical skills and medical knowledge. It requires training of the entire operating room team. The learning curve is steep, involving port placement, use of the correct robotic arms, availability of the proper instrumentation, and proper patient positioning (Tab. 2, Ref. 28).

Úvod: Pyeloplastiku pro vrozenou hydronefrózu (obstrukci pyelo-ureterální junkce, PUJ) je u dětí možno provést otevřeně, laparoskopicky nebo roboticky. Cílem sdělení je prezentace pilotního souboru dětských pacientů operovaných roboticky. Metody: Retrospektivní analýza souboru dětských pacientů od 3 do 18 let věku, kteří podstoupili primární pyeloplastiku od zahájení robotického programu FN Motol od prosince 2018 do června 2021. Exkludováni byli pacienti již operovaní pro obstrukci PUJ v minulosti. Indikační kritéria, klinické symptomy, operační čas, délka hospitalizace a komplikace byly vyhodnoceny na základě zdravotnické dokumentace. Výsledky: V uvedeném období jsme operovali 28 dětí ve věku 3 až 17 let (medián 8 let), exkludováni byli dva pacienti. Z 26 analyzovaných dětí bylo před operací 6 (23 %) bez symptomů, 17 (65 %) udávalo bolesti, dvě (8 %) prodělaly před operací akutní pyelonefritidu a jedno (4 %) mělo nefrogenní hypertenzi. Nejčastější příčinou obstrukce byla aberantní céva u 22 (85 %) pacientů. Čas od incize k zašití ran byl 106 až 201 minut (medián 142 minut). Pacienti byli hospitalizováni 3 až 5 dní po operaci (medián 4 dny) a sledováni 1 až 30 měsíců (medián 6 měsíců). 24 z 26 pacientů mělo na pooperačním ultrazvuku regresi dilatace pánvičky a byli bez symptomů obstrukce PUJ. 7 pacientů (27 %) mělo pooperační komplikaci vyžadující intervenci v celkové anestezii (3b dle Clavien-Dindo klasifikace), z toho dva museli být reoperováni. Závěr: Robotická pyeloplastika je alternativou laparoskopické a otevřené operace. Jde o bezpečnou a úspěšnou (92 %) metodu. Vyšší podíl komplikací (27 %) v našem souboru přičítáme faktu, že jde o nový přístup, se kterým je třeba získat více zkušeností.
Introduction: Pyeloplasty for congenital hydronephrosis (pyeloureteral junction obstruction, PUJO) can be performed as an open, laparoscopic or robotic procedure in children. The aim of this study was to analyze a pilot cohort of pediatric patients operated robotically. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the cohort of patients 3 to 18 years of age who underwent primary robotic pyeloplasty between December 2018 (which is when the robotic program was launched at the University Hospital Motol) and June 2021. Patients already operated on for PUJO in the past were excluded. The indication criteria, clinical symptoms, operation time, hospitalization length and complications were evaluated from the medical records. Results: During this period, we operated on 28 children aged 3 to 17 years (median 8); 2 patients were excluded. Of the 26 children analyzed, 6 (23%) were asymptomatic before surgery, 17 (65%) reported pain, 2 (8%) had acute pyelonephritis before the surgery, and 1 (4%) suffered from nephrogenic hypertension. The most common etiology of PUJO was an aberrant vessel in 22 (85%) patients. The time from incision to skin closure was 106 to 201 minutes (median 142 minutes). Patients were hospitalized for 3 to 5 days (median 4) after the surgery and followed up for 1 to 30 months (median 6). Twenty-four of the 26 patients showed regression of the pelvic dilatation according to the postoperative ultrasound scan and no symptoms of PUJO. Seven (27%) had postoperative complications requiring a procedure under general anesthesia (all Clavien-Dindo 3b); of these, 2 were re-operated. Conclusion: Robotic pyeloplasty is an alternative to laparoscopic and open surgery. It is a safe and successful (92%) method. We believe that the higher rate of complications (27%) in our cohort is due to the fact that this is a new technique and more experience is needed.

The field of vascular surgery is constantly evolving and is unsurpassed in its innovation and adoption of new technologies. Endovascular therapy has fundamentally changed the treatment paradigms for aneurysm and occlusive disease. As we continue to make advances in not only endovascular therapy, but also robotic surgery, artificial intelligence, and minimally invasive surgery, it is important that the vascular community stay at the forefront. Topics include the advantages of laparoscopic and robotic surgery over open surgery for aortic procedures, robotic versus laparoscopic aortic surgery, patient candidacy for robotic-assisted aortic surgery, and how to increase training and adoption of robotic-assisted laparoscopic aortic surgery. Future growth includes the development of new platforms and technologies, creation and validation of curriculum and virtual simulators, and conduction of randomized clinical trials to determine the best applications of robotics in vascular surgery.
BACKGROUND: This study compared the adverse effects of open surgery (OS) including lateral pharyngotomy and supraglottic laryngectomy vs. transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the treatment of stage T1 and T2 carcinomas of the tongue base and supraglottis. METHODS: A retrospective study involving a 49 (13 female and 36 male) patients with untreated T1 or T2 carcinomas. Twenty two were operated on using TORS and 27 underwent conventional OS. The indicators for comparison were: total blood loss during surgery, post-operative pain measured with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS); global, emotional and physical post-operational states assessed with the standardized M.D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) and psychosocial distress (PD) questionnaire. Apart from blood loss, subjective symptoms were evaluated 1 and 6 weeks and 6 months after surgery. The differences in indicators between groups were analyzed using Fisher's Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at the 5% significance level. RESULTS: Mean general OS and TORS associated blood loss were 405 and 29 ml, respectively. The mean MDADI score in TORS vs. OS patients one week, six weeks and six months postoperatively was 60.01 vs. 44.93, 91.01 vs. 62.19 and 94.18 vs. 93.56. The mean VAS score in the TORS vs. OS group at the same time intervals were 5.09 vs. 5.56, 2.09 vs. 3.11 and 1.27 vs. 1.33. All differences between TORS and OS were statistically significant with the exception of 6 month values for particular scores. The mean PD score in TORS vs. OS patients in one week, six weeks and 6 months was 26.82 vs. 25.11, 39.95 vs. 29.22 and 44.73 vs. 44.52. Only the six week distinctions were significant. The both methods were comparable in terms of the risk of locoregional tumour recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The study confirmed the assumption of the TORS as a minimally invasive procedure significantly reducing the intraoperative blood loss, pain, swallowing and psychosocial distress as late as 6 weeks postoperatively in patients with early staged carcinomas of the tongue base and supraglottis.
