Single-port vs. multi-port robotic radical prostatectomy: an umbrella review of meta-analyses

RESEARCH ARTICLE Open, Laparoscopic, Retropubic, or Robotic? A Network Meta-Analysis of Post-Prostatectomy Oncologic Outcomes and Health-Related Quality of Life in Localized Prostate Cancer Patients

Open, Laparoscopic, Retropubic, or Robotic? A Network Meta-Analysis of Post-Prostatectomy Oncologic Outcomes and Health-Related Quality of Life in Localized Prostate Cancer Patients.

OBJECTIVE Prostatectomy remains a standard surgical treatment for localized prostate cancer, a malignancy with substantial global incidence and clinical impact in men. Its rapid adoption of surgical modalities has outpaced supporting evidence, resulting in limited consensus in reporting HRQoL and oncologic outcomes. Th...

Comparative Outcomes of Transoral Robotic Surgery Versus Open Surgery in Head and Neck Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) represents a growing global health concern, particularly with the rising incidence of human papillomavirus-associated disease. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to conventional open approaches, offering enhanced visualization a...

Single-Port Versus Multiport Robotic Colorectal Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND Single-port (SP) robotic surgery has emerged as a reduced-access alternative to conventional multiport (MP) robotic colorectal surgery. However, its comparative perioperative benefits remain uncertain. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared outcomes between SP and MP robotic colorectal surgery....

Single-port robotic-assisted kidney transplantation: early benchmarks from a systematic review.

BACKGROUND Single-port (SP) robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (SP-RAKT) is an emerging minimally invasive approach whose perioperative safety profile and early graft outcomes remain poorly characterized. We performed a systematic review to summarize available evidence on SP-RAKT using the da Vinci SP platform....
