    Abstract Introduction: Robotic assisted surgery is a rapidly developing field of minimally invasive bariatric surgery in the last 20 years. Its wide diffusion has led to the development and standardization of robotic assisted approaches for bariatric operations. In this study, we present the first four Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) operations performed with the new Hugo™ RAS system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
    Methods: In January and February 2023, 4 consecutive patients scheduled for minimal invasive Roux-en-Y-Bypass were selected and underwent the procedure robotic-assisted with the new platform. No exclusion criteria were applied.
    Results: Four patients, two females and two males, underwent RYGB with a median BMI of 40 Kg/m
    Conclusions: Based on our initial experience, RYGB with the Hugo™ RAS system is feasible. This study provides the configurations necessary to perform RYGB with the Hugo™ RAS system as well as general information and insights from our preliminary experience.

    Abstract Robotic assisted surgery is a rapidly developing field in bariatric surgery. Its wide diffusion has led to the development and standardisation of robotic assisted approaches for various bariatric operations. However, further application has been limited thus far due to issues of cost-effectiveness and accessibility. The introduction of new robotic platforms may help overcome those obstacles. In this study, we present the first fifteen cases of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) operations performed with the new Hugo™ RAS system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA). From January to March 2023, consecutive patients scheduled for minimal invasive Roux-en-Y-Bypass were randomly selected and underwent the procedure robotic-assisted with the new platform. No exclusion criteria were applied. Seven female and eight male patients with a median BMI of 42 (range: 36-50) and obesity-related comorbidities in eight cases underwent RYGB. The median docking time was 7 min (range: 6-8.5) and the median console time was 100 min (range: 70-150). Procedures were performed without intraoperative complications and no conversion to laparoscopy or open surgery was noted. Operative times were indicative of a steep learning curve. No early post-operative complications were observed. Based on our initial experience, RYGB with the Hugo™ RAS system is promising and may be integrated in established robotic programmes without requiring a long adaptation period.

    Abstract Background: Locally infiltrating (T4) differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC) represent a challenge. Surgical strategy and adjuvant therapy should be planned balancing morbidity and oncologic outcome. A series of patients with T4 DTC who underwent multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment is reported. The main study endpoints were the oncologic outcome, complication rates, and risk factors for tumor recurrence.
    Patients and methods: All DTC cases operated between 2009 and 2021 were reviewed and T4 DTC cases were identified. En bloc resection of inferior laryngeal nerve (ILN), tracheal, and/or internal jugular vein (IJV) was performed in cases of massive infiltration. In cases of pharyngoesophageal junction (PEJ) invasion, the shaving technique was always applied.
    Results: Among 4775 DTC cases, 60 were T4. ILN infiltration was documented in 45 cases (en bloc resection in 9), tracheal infiltration in 14 (tracheal resection in 2), PEJ invasion in 11 (R0 resection in 7 cases and < 1 cm residual tissue in 4 cases), IJV resection in 6, and laryngeal in 2. In total, 11 postoperative ILN palsy, 23 transient hypoparathyroidisms, and 2 hematomas requiring reoperation were registered. Final histology showed 7 pN0, 22 pN1a, and 31 pN1b tumors. Aggressive variants were observed in 47 patients. All but 1 patient underwent radioiodine treatment, 12 underwent adjuvant external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), and 2 underwent chemotherapy. At a median follow-up of 58 months, no tumor-related death was registered, and seven patients required reoperation for recurrence. Tracheal invasion was the only significant factor negatively impacting recurrence (p = 0.045).
    Conclusions: A multidisciplinary approach is essential for the management of T4 DTC. Individualized and balanced surgical strategy and adjuvant treatments, in particular EBRT, ensure control of locally advanced disease with acceptable morbidity.

    Abstract Laparoscopy is the surgical standard of care for bariatric procedures; however, during the last two decades, the robotic approach has gained increasing interest. It is currently considered a safe and effective alternative to laparoscopy. This literature review investigates the role of the robotic approach for primary and revisional bariatric procedures, with the particular aim of comparing this technique with the standard-of-care laparoscopic approach. The feasibility of robotic dissection and suturing could have potential advantages: robotics may prevent the risk of leak and bleeding and other surgical complications, determining potential benefits in terms of operative time, length of hospital stay, and learning curve. Considering primary procedures, the literature reveals no advantages in robotic versus the laparoscopic approach for adjustable gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy. Robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is associated with a longer operative time and a shorter hospital length of stay than laparoscopy. The robotic approach in revisional surgery has been proven to be safe and effective. Despite the longer operative time, the robotic platform could achieve a lower bleeding rate compared with laparoscopy. The surgeon's selection criteria related to referrals to the robotic approach of difficult-perceived cases could represent a bias. In conclusion, robotic surgery can be considered a safe and effective approach in both primary and revisional bariatric surgery, despite the lack of evidence to support its routine use in primary bariatric surgery. However, in revisional bariatric surgery and in surgical complex procedures, the robotic approach could have potential benefits in terms of surgical complications and learning curves.

    Abstract Background: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is the gold standard treatment for adrenal lesions. Robot-assisted adrenalectomy (RAA) is a safe approach, associated with higher costs in absence of clear-cut benefits. Several series reported some advantages of RAA over LA in challenging cases, but definitive conclusions are lacking. We evaluated the cost effectiveness and outcomes of robotic (R-LTA) and laparoscopic (L-LTA) approach for lateral transabdominal adrenalectomy in a high-volume center.
    Methods: Among 356 minimally invasive adrenalectomies (January 2012-August 2021), 286 were performed with a lateral transabdominal approach: 191 L-LTA and 95 R-LTA. The R-LTA and L-LTA patients were matched for lesion side and size, hormone secretion, and BMI with propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Postoperative complications, operative time (OT), postoperative stay (POS), and costs were compared.
    Results: PSM analysis identified 184 patients, 92 in R-LTA and 92 in L-LTA group. The two groups were well matched. The median lesion size was 4 cm in both groups (p = 0.533). Hormonal hypersecretion was detected in 55 and 54 patients of R-LTA and L-LTA group, respectively (p = 1). Median OT was significantly longer in R-LTA group (90.0 vs 65.0 min) (p < 0.001). No conversion was registered. Median POS was similar (4.0 vs 3.0 days in the R-LTA and L-LTA) (p = 0.467). No difference in postoperative complications was found (p = 1). The cost margin analysis showed a positive income for both procedures (3137 vs 3968 € for R-LTA and L-LTA). In the multiple logistic regression analysis, independent risk factors for postoperative complications were hypercortisolism (OR = 3.926, p = 0.049) and OT > 75 min (OR = 8.177, p = 0.048).
    Conclusions: The postoperative outcomes of R-LTA and L-TLA were similar in our experience. Despite the higher cost, RAA appears to be cost effective and economically sustainable in a high-volume center (60 adrenalectomies/year), especially if performed in challenging cases, including patients with large (> 6 cm) and/or functioning tumors.

    Abstract Robotic assisted surgery is the most rapidly developing field of minimally invasive surgery. Its wide diffusion has led to the development and standardization of robotic-assisted approaches also for adrenalectomy. In this study, we present the first five robotic-assisted lateral transabdominal adrenalectomies performed with the new Hugo RAS™ system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA). After an official training course of the surgical team, five consecutive patients scheduled for unilateral adrenalectomy, underwent robotic-assisted operations in our institution. Patients that were candidates for partial adrenalectomy were excluded. A description of the operating theatre, robotic arms and docking setup is provided. Four female and one male patient underwent lateral transabdominal adrenalectomy, three for lesions on the left side and two on the right. Median lesion size was 3.9 cm (range: 30-90) and preoperative diagnosis was Cushing's syndrome in three patients, an adrenal cystic lesion and a pheochromocytoma. The median docking time was 5 min (range: 5-8) and the median console time was 55 min (range: 29-108). Procedures were performed without intraoperative complications and no conversions or additional ports were needed. System's function and docking were uneventful. Based on our initial experience, adrenalectomy with the Hugo™ system is feasible. This study provides technical notes for other centres that wish to perform robotic-assisted adrenalectomies with the Hugo™ RAS as well as general information and our preliminary insights on this new platform.

    Abstract Purpose: Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch and single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) are technically demanding hypo-absorptive bariatric procedures generally indicated in super-obese patients (BMI ≥ 50 kg/m
    Methods: Among 2313 patients who underwent bariatric procedures at our institution, between July 2016 and August 2021, 121 (5.2%) consenting patients were scheduled for SADI-S as primary (SADIS) or revisional procedure after sleeve gastrectomy (SADI) (respectively 87 and 34 patients). Early and late post-operative complications, operative time, post-operative stay, and follow-up data were analyzed.
    Results: Overall, the median preoperative BMI was 52.3 (48.75-57.05) kg/m
    Conclusion: Our data, coherently with the literature, confirm that SADI-S is a safe, effective procedure with acceptable complications rate. Larger studies with longer follow-ups are necessary to draw definitive conclusions.
