Article Abstract
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the execution of robot-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy without repositioning the patient.
Methods: The clinical data of 9 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy between May 2017 and November 2018 were analyzed, proceeding in a single position, without repositioning the patient. This involved 5 men and 4 women, with an average age of 61.67 ± 10.37 years and an average body mass index (BMI) of 24.78 ± 3.84. We considered the duration of the intervention, the blood loss, the duration of the hospital stay, the duration of maintenance of the drainage and the follow-up on all patients, with or without complications and recurrence of the tumor.
Results: The intervention was completed in all 9 cases. The average duration of the intervention was 242.89 ± 13.37 minutes, the average blood loss was 166.67 ± 70.71 ml, the average hospitalization time was 2 ± 0.71 days, the average time drainage maintenance was 5.11 ± 1.05 days and the average follow-up times without complications and tumor recurrence were 12.56 ± 6.19 months.
Conclusion: Robot-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy without repositioning the patient during the procedure simplifies the procedure and shortens the duration of the procedure. It is also a safe, effective and feasible minimally invasive treatment method.
Key Words: Nephroureterectomy, Robot-assisted laparoscopic, Tumor recurrence, Single position, Upper tract urothelial carcinoma.

Purpose: Primary ventral hernia repair is a common elective procedure; however, mesh placement practices vary widely, and there is limited evidence to guide optimal placement. This international study examined surgeons' preferences and considerations regarding mesh placement in elective primary ventral hernia repair.
Methods: We conducted an international cross-sectional survey targeting surgeons experienced in primary ventral hernia repair.
Background: Robot-assisted surgery has short-term benefits in rectal cancer surgery; however, its long-term advantages remain unclear. This study compared short- and long-term outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted rectal cancer surgeries using large-scale, database-driven evidence.
Methods: Patients (28 711) diagnosed with clinical stages I-III rectal cancer who underwent rectal resection and were registered in the Japanese Medical Data Vision Co.
Aim: This study explores the evolving landscape of gastrectomy procedures in Japan, based on nationwide surveys conducted in 2014 and 2021. It highlights changes in surgical approaches, including a growing focus on minimally invasive and function-preserving procedures, as well as the increasing consideration of postoperative quality of life (QOL).
Methods: Two nationwide questionnaire surveys were conducted in 2014 and 2021, targeting members of the Japanese Society for Gastro-surgical Pathophysiology.

Background: Minimally invasive liver surgery has rapidly evolved in recent years. In addition to the laparoscopic liver resection (LLR), robot-assisted liver resection (RLR) is increasingly gaining in importance; however, although the robotic-assisted approach offers clinical benefits, particularly in complex procedures, it remains a matter of debate.
Objective: The aim of this study was to present the development, perioperative outcomes, key challenges, and insights from over 500 minimally invasive liver resections performed at a specialized high-volume center.
