Article Abstract
Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has become the standard of surgical care in the USA and around the world. Over the past 18 years, we have performed 13,000 radical prostatectomies, and our surgical technique has evolved over time. We discuss this evolution and how it has helped us achieve optimal patient outcomes.

Flexible suction-coagulation probe restores dexterity in robot-assisted surgery: bench-to-bedside evaluation.
Surg Endosc
September 2025
Department of Next Generation Endoscopic Intervention (Project ENGINE), Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Osaka, Suite 0802, BioSystems Bldg., 1-3, Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka, 565-0871, Japan.
Objective: Rigid suction-coagulation probes constrain the wrist-like articulation that is central to robotic surgery. We therefore designed a 5-mm single-use flexible suction ball coagulator (flex-SBC) with a modified core design to restore dexterity and assessed its mechanical performance and early clinical feasibility, including the effect of the common robotic gripping strategies on suction flow.
Methods: Preclinical.
Nerve Sparing Is Beneficial for Recovery From Urinary Incontinence in Patients With Shorter Membranous Urethral Length After Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy.

Department of Urology, Toyooka Hospital, Toyooka, Hyogo, Japan.
Purpose: We analyze determinants of postoperative recovery from urinary incontinence following robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, with a focus on membranous urethral length and inclusion of nerve sparing.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy from 2017 to 2022 performed at a single institution. Cox proportional hazards analysis was conducted for postoperative recovery from urinary incontinence, defined as use of zero or one pad/day.

What is the preferred mesh placement in primary ventral hernia repair? An international survey of 442 surgeons.

September 2025
Center for Perioperative Optimization, Department of Surgery, Copenhagen University Hospital - Herlev and Gentofte, Borgmester Ib Juuls Vej 1, Herlev, DK-2730, Denmark.
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.
