    Abstract Introduction: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedure has become the most common neurosurgical method for hydrocephalus because it considerably improves patients prognosis. Pneumoperitoneum has been considered a contraindication to laparoscopic surgery because of risk for increased intracranial pressure during pneumoperitoneum and/or malfunction/infection of the VP shunt itself. Laparoscopic resection of the cecum and of the rectum for cancer has been reported.
    Presentation of case: A 74-year old man with ventriculoperitoneal shunt for normal pressure hydrocephalus referred to the emergency medicine ward for COPD, lower limb oedema and severe anemia. CT Scan showed a substenotic tumor of the right colon and non-specific enlarged regional lymph nodes, with no distant metastases. Colonoscopy confirmed the presence of an ulcerated tumor of the right colon involving half of the colic lumen. A right colectomy with CME was carried out, with a stapled intracorporeal ileocolic side-to-side isoperistaltic anastomosis and without manipulating the VPS catheter.
    Discussion: Laparoscopic surgery in patients with VPS tubes was previously contraindicated because of the possibility of shunt-associated complications, that may include shunt malfunction due to increased intra-abdominal pressure, damage or infection of the catheter. Some authors reported that intracranial pressure increased up to 25 mmHg at a pneumoperitoneum pressure of 12 mmHgHerein we report, to our knowledge, the first case report of robotic assisted right colectomy for cancer in a patient with a VP shunt.
    Conclusion: Robotic assistance may allow to perform colorectal resection safely and with low risk also in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

    Abstract Background: Rectal cancer treatment is still a challenging frontier in general surgery, as there is no general agreement on which surgical approach is best for its management. Total mesorectal excision (TME), influenced the practical approach to rectal cancer, and brought a significant improvement on tumor recurrence and patients survival. Robotic transanal surgery is a newer approach to rectal dissection whose purpose is to overcome the limits of the traditional transabdominal approach, improving accuracy of distal dissection and preservation of hypogastric innervation. An increasing interest on this new technique has raised, thanks to the excellent pathological and acceptable short-term clinical outcomes reported.
    Materials and methods: Three consecutive cases of robotic transanal TME were prospectically performed between May 2017 and October 2017.
    Results: TME quality was Quirke 3 grade in all cases. Mean operative time was 530 min. None of the patients had intra-operatively or post-operatively complications.
    Conclusions: Robotic transanal TME is a very recent procedure. Acclaimed greatest advantage of robotic transanal TME is the facilitation of dissection with an in-line view, which translates in an improved surgical field exposure and visualization. Further investigations are needed to assure the actual value of robotic transanal approach.

    Abstract Epiphrenic diverticula are rare protrusions of the distal esophagus attributed to esophageal motility disorders or obstructive diseases. In presence of a relevant symptomatology, surgery is mandatory. Although many reports confirm the feasibility of the laparoscopic transhiatal approach, the mobilization of the esophagus and the myotomy appear challenging. The intrinsic characteristics of the da Vinci Robotic System could facilitate the approach to the esophagogastric junction and an extended mobilization of the esophagus. We describe a robotic transhiatal surgical treatment of an epiphrenic diverticulum with a Dor antireflux procedure. Robotic-assisted diverticulectomy appears feasible and safe with a low risk of esophageal perforation and pleura damage.

    Abstract Background: Long-term data from the CLASICC study demonstrated the oncologic equivalence of laparoscopic and open rectal cancer surgery despite an increased circumferential resection margin involvement in the laparoscopic group in the initial report. Moreover, laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) may be associated with increased rates of male sexual dysfunction compared to conventional open TME. Robotic surgery could potentially obtain better results than laparoscopy. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic surgery in a single-center experience.
    Methods: This study was based on 100 patients who underwent minimally invasive anterior rectal resection with TME. Fifty consecutive robotic rectal anterior resections with TME (R-TME) were compared to the first 50 consecutive laparoscopic rectal resections with TME (L-TME).
    Results: Median operative time was 270 min in R-TME and 275 min in L-TME. No conversions occurred in the R-TME group whereas six conversions occurred in the L-TME group. The mean number of harvested lymph nodes was 16.5 ± 7.1 for R-TME and 13.8 ± 6.7 for L-TME. The circumferential margin (CRM) was <2 mm in six L-TME patients, whereas no one in R-TME group had a CRM <2 mm. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) scores were significantly increased 1 month after surgery in both the L-TME and R-TME groups, but they normalized 1 year after surgery. Erectile function worsened significantly 1 month after surgery in both the groups but it was restored completely 1 year after surgery in the R-TME group and partially in the L-TME group.
    Conclusions: Robotic TME is oncologically safe and adequate for rectal cancer treatment, showing better results than laparoscopic TME in terms of CRM, conversions, and hospital length of stay. Better recovery in voiding and sexual function is achieved with the robotic technique.

    Abstract The laparoscopic approach for treatment of rectal cancer has been proven feasible and oncologically safe, and is able to offer better short-term outcomes than traditional open procedures, mainly in terms of reduced length of hospital stay and time to return to working activity. In spite of this, the laparoscopic technique is usually practised only in high-volume experienced centres, mainly because it requires a prolonged and demanding learning curve. It has been estimated that over 50 operations are required for an experienced colorectal surgeon to achieve proficiency with this technique. Robotic surgery enables the surgeon to perform minimally invasive operations with better vision and more intuitive and precise control of the operating instruments, thus promising to overcome some of the technical difficulties associated with standard laparoscopy. It has high-definition three-dimensional vision, it translates the surgeon's hand movements into precise movements of the instruments inside the patient, the camera is held and moved by the first surgeon, and a fourth robotic arm is available as a fixed retractor. The aim of this review is to summarise the current data on clinical and oncologic outcomes of robot-assisted surgery in rectal cancer, focusing on short- and long-term results, and providing original data from the authors' centre.

    Abstract Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is currently the gold standard for surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The aim of this study was to present our experience with this procedure at 1 year of follow-up. Forty patients were operated on between January 2006 and July 2007, and 30 underwent a 24-hour postoperative pH-metry study. Ninety-two percent of the patients were asymptomatic at a follow-up of 12 months. All pH-metric parameters improved. DeMeester and Johnson's score was reduced from 44.7 to 7.75; endoscopy with histologic samples revealed the healing of esophagitis in all patients; 4 (13%) patients complained of dysphagia, which resolved within 1 month after surgery. Twenty-seven (90%) patients were completely satisfied by their surgical results. One year after surgery, 24-hour ph-metric results show that laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication can completely control acid reflux with relatively few complications and a high degree of patient satisfaction.

    Abstract Background: Adrenal surgery is undergoing continuous evolution, and robotic technology may extend indications for a minimally invasive approach to adrenalectomy.
    Methods: Thirty robot-assisted unilateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy procedures have been performed at our Department over the last 5 years. The presence of bilateral lesions and vascular involvement were the only contra-indications for a minimally invasive approach. Several patients presented with significant co-morbidities: BMI > 35 kg/m(2) (20%); ASA score III-IV (58.7%); and moderate to severe impaired respiratory function (36.6%). In addition, 40% of patients had undergone previous abdominal surgery.
    Results: Two patients presented with intra-operative complications (6.6%) and only one patient required conversion to an open procedure (3.3%). None of the patients required intraoperative transfusions. Hospital morbidity was 10% but no mortality was recorded. The mean hospital stay was 5.2 ± 2.2 days. The mean size of the resected adrenal mass was 5.1 ± 2.4 cm. A significant reduction in operative times was found with gaining experience.
    Conclusions: Thanks to robotic technology, some subpopulations of patients with clinical or oncological contra-indications to laparoscopic treatment may be addressed with minimally invasive treatment.
