TL;DR

Bibliometric mapping shows that the learning-explicit robotic transplantation literature is strongly kidney-dominant, with evidence from other organs representing smaller and clinically distinct extensions, and proposes a multidomain interpretation in which technical efficiency, transplant-specific process control, clinical outcomes, and program-level transfer may evolve differently.

The learning curve of robotic esophagectomy: a systematic review with a proposed training and competency assessment framework

Background Robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is a significant evolution in esophageal cancer surgery, providing improved visualization, dexterity and operative precision. However, RAMIE is technically demanding and has a steep learning curve. The goal of this systematic review was to assess the...

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

Early institutional experience suggests SP-RAKT is technically feasible in carefully selected patients at experienced centers, with minimal blood loss, short hospitalization, and early graft function consistent with established benchmarks, which support feasibility but not comparative safety or superiority over open or...
