Learning Curve for da Vinci Single-Port Robotic System Cholecystectomy.

Background: Minimally invasive surgery is recognized as the gold standard for cholecystectomy, with various approaches having been implemented over time. Since 2018, the da Vinci Single-Port (DVSP) robotic system (Intuitive) has been used in experimental surgical contexts, revitalizing interest in single-site surgical techniques. The authors' aim is to describe the learning curve associated with single-port robotic cholecystectomy (SPRC).

Da Vinci single-port robotic system current application and future perspective in general surgery: A scoping review.

Background: The da Vinci Single-Port Robot System (DVSP) allows three robotic instruments and an articulated scope to be inserted through a single small incision. It received FDA approval in 2014 and was first introduced in 2018. The aim of this new system was to overcome the limitations of single-incision laparoscopic and robotic surgery.

Endoscopic Ultrasound Through-the-Needle Biopsy for the Diagnosis of an Abdominal Bronchogenic Cyst.

A 57-year-old woman with epigastric pain was diagnosed with a 6-cm abdominal cystic lesion of unclear origin on cross-sectional imaging. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) demonstrated a unilocular cyst located between the pancreas, gastric wall, and left adrenal gland, with a regular wall filled with dense fluid with multiple hyperechoic floating spots. A 19-G needle was used to puncture the cyst, but no fluid could be aspirated.
