To compare perioperative and postoperative outcomes between SP and MP robotic technologies for radical nephrectomy (RN). This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who have undergone robot-assisted radical nephrectomy using either the SP or MP technology. Baseline demographics, clinical, tumor-specific characteristics, and perioperative and postoperative outcomes were compared using χ², t-test, Fisher exact test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariable analyses were conducted using robust, Poisson, and logistic regressions. A total of 341 patients underwent robotic RN with 47 patients (14%) in the SP group. The two groups exhibited similar baseline characteristics, with no significant differences in age, sex, body mass index, Charlson comorbidities index, and tumor laterality. However, SP group had a smaller average tumor size (5.1 cm vs 6.4 cm, p = 0.009). The SP had longer operative time (178 ± 84 min vs 142 ± 75 min; p = 0.011) but showed no significant difference in the estimated blood loss, blood transfusion rate, length of stay, overall 30-day and major complication rates. Controlling for other variables, SP was significantly associated with a longer operative time and shorter length of stay. SP is associated with longer operative time but offers advantages such as smaller incisions and shorter hospital stays with a comparative safety profile to MP for radical nephrectomy.</p>","PeriodicalId":47616,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Robotic Surgery","volume":"18 1","pages":"407"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142638750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its potential to enhance data transmission efficiency and reliability in these fields remains unclear. While previous reviews have explored the general applications of telesurgery and telementoring in specific surgical contexts, this review uniquely focuses on AI models designed to optimise data transmission and mitigate delays. We conducted a comprehensive literature search on PubMed and IEEE Xplore for studies published in English between 2010 and 2023, focusing on AI-driven, surgery-related, telemedicine, and delay-related research. This review includes methodologies from journals, conferences, and symposiums. Our analysis identified a total of twelve AI studies that focus on optimising network resources, enhancing edge computing, and developing delay-robust predictive applications. Specifically, three studies addressed wireless network resource optimisation, two proposed low-latency control and transfer learning algorithms for edge computing, and seven developed delay-robust applications, five of which focused on motion data, with the remaining two addressing visual and haptic data. These advancements lay the foundation for a truly holistic and context-aware telesurgical experience, significantly transforming remote surgical practice and education. By mapping the current role of AI in addressing delay-related challenges, this review highlights the pressing need for collaborative research to drive the evolution of telesurgery and telementoring in modern robotic surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":47616,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Robotic Surgery","volume":"18 1","pages":"403"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11554828/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most common causes were concurrent tasks (66.1%); loud noises (10.8%) from patient cart, lightbox fan, and suction machine; and overlapping conversations (4.2%). 94.8% resulted in a case delay. These events distracted from monitoring patient safety and resulted in near misses. Mitigating strategies included leaning out of the surgeon console to repeat the message and employing a messenger.
