Abstract
The aim of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic Ladd's procedure on peri- and postoperative outcomes. All Ladd's procedures performed on patients with congenital intestinal malrotation between January 2020 and December 2023 were identified. Peri- and postoperative data were collected and compared between robot-assisted and laparoscopic groups. Fifty-seven robot-assisted and 38 laparoscopic Ladd's procedure cases were identified and compared for outcomes. No robotic cases were converted to open procedure, while four laparoscopic cases were converted to open procedure (p = 0.048). Although robotic cases suffered higher hospitalization costs (p < 0.001), the postoperative complication rate was lower for the robotic group compared to the laparoscopic group (p = 0.038). Robot-assisted Ladd's surgery is safe and effective for the treatment of congenital intestinal malrotation in children, reducing the difficulty of surgery, but at increased cost.
期刊介绍：
Updates in Surgery (UPIS) has been founded in 2010 as the official journal of the Italian Society of Surgery. It’s an international, English-language, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the surgical sciences. Its main goal is to offer a valuable update on the most recent developments of those surgical techniques that are rapidly evolving, forcing the community of surgeons to a rigorous debate and a continuous refinement of standards of care. In this respect position papers on the mostly debated surgical approaches and accreditation criteria have been published and are welcome for the future.
Beside its focus on general surgery, the journal draws particular attention to cutting edge topics and emerging surgical fields that are publishing in monothematic issues guest edited by well-known experts.
Updates in Surgery has been considering various types of papers: editorials, comprehensive reviews, original studies and technical notes related to specific surgical procedures and techniques on liver, colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, robotic and bariatric surgery.
