Journal ArticleDOI
Robot-assisted laparoscopic pancreatic surgery: single-surgeon experience.
Pier Cristoforo Giulianotti,F. Sbrana,Francesco Bianco,Enrique F. Elli,Galaxy Shah,Pietro Addeo,G. Caravaglios,Andrea Coratti +7 more
TL;DR: This paper retrospectively reviews one surgeon’s experience with robotic surgery to treat pancreatic disease, and analyzes its indications and outcomes, as well as the controversy that exists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robotic liver surgery: results for 70 resections.
Pier Cristoforo Giulianotti,Andrea Coratti,F. Sbrana,Pietro Addeo,Francesco Bianco,Nicolas C. Buchs,Mario Annechiarico,Enrico Benedetti +7 more
TL;DR: This preliminary experience shows that robotic surgery can be used safely for liver resections with a limited conversion rate, blood loss, and postoperative morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robotic Versus Open Pancreaticoduodenectomy: A Comparative Study at a Single Institution
Nicolas C. Buchs,Pietro Addeo,Francesco Bianco,Subhashini Ayloo,Enrico Benedetti,Pier Cristoforo Giulianotti +5 more
TL;DR: While it is too early to draw definitive conclusions concerning the long-term outcomes, short-term results show a positive trend in favor of the robotic approach without compromising the oncological principles associated with the open approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robotic transabdominal kidney transplantation in a morbidly obese patient.
Pier Cristoforo Giulianotti,Veronica Gorodner,F. Sbrana,Ivo Tzvetanov,Hoonbae Jeon,Francesco Bianco,Katie Kinzer,Jose Oberholzer,Enrico Benedetti +8 more
TL;DR: The first minimally invasive, total robotic kidney transplant in a morbidly obese patient is reported, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 5 with normal kidney function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimally Invasive Robotic Kidney Transplantation for Obese Patients Previously Denied Access to Transplantation
Jose Oberholzer,Pier Cristoforo Giulianotti,Kirstie K. Danielson,Kirstie K. Danielson,Mario Spaggiari,Lorena Bejarano-Pineda,Francesco Bianco,Ivo Tzvetanov,Subhashini Ayloo,Hoonbae Jeon,Raquel Garcia-Roca,J. Thielke,Ignatius Tang,S. Akkina,Bryan N. Becker,Katie Kinzer,Anand Patel,Enrico Benedetti +17 more
TL;DR: A new, minimally invasive, robotic-assisted kidney transplantation method using a short epigastric incision is developed a priori that the robotic approach would reduce SSIs and improve outcomes in obese kidney transplant patients.
