Article Abstract
Introduction: This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the literature on robotic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) pneumonectomy.
Aim: To evaluate its effectiveness and safety in treating various lung diseases.
Methods: A thorough search of electronic databases was conducted, and 25 studies encompassing 1,650 patients were included in the review.
Results: The review found that robotic VATS pneumonectomy surgery is a safe and effective alternative to traditional open surgery for the treatment of various lung diseases, particularly early-stage lung cancer. The surgery is associated with shorter hospitalizations, less blood loss, and less postoperative pain when compared to traditional open surgery.
Conclusions: However, long-term survival outcomes were not significantly different between robotic and open surgery. The review also highlights the need for further studies to determine the optimal use of robotic VATS pneumonectomy surgery in different clinical scenarios and to determine whether the benefits of this technique outweigh the costs. Overall, this systematic review suggests that robotic VATS pneumonectomy surgery is a safe and effective technique that can be used as an alternative to traditional open surgery.

Background: The potential association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, as well as colorectal adenomas (CRA) risk, has been extensively studied, but the findings remain inconclusive. We conducted this systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between the DII and CRC and CRA.
Methods: We comprehensively searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for cohort and case-control studies reporting the relationship between DII and CRA, or between DII and CRC, as of 15 July 2025.

Background: The primary treatment for colorectal cancer, which is very prevalent, is surgery. Anastomotic leaking poses a significant risk following surgery. Intestinal perfusion can be objectively and instantly assessed with indocyanine green fluorescence imaging, which may lower leakage rates and enhance surgical results.

The adoption of robotic pancreatectomy has grown significantly in recent years, driven by its potential advantages in precision, minimally invasive access, and improved patient recovery. However, mastering these complex procedures requires overcoming a substantial learning curve, and the role of structured mentoring in facilitating this transition remains underexplored. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively evaluate the number of cases required to achieve surgical proficiency, assess the impact of mentoring on skill acquisition, and analyze how outcomes evolve throughout the learning process.

This rapid systematic review aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy (concurrent validity, predictive ability, reliability) of indirect calorimetry (IC) for measuring resting energy expenditure (REE) in adults with overweight or obesity. PubMed and Web of Science searched for studies measuring REE by IC in adults with overweight or obesity and reported primary outcomes: concurrent validity, predictive ability, or reliability. N = 22 studies were included that evaluated n = 10 IC devices.
