Abstract
We directly compared perioperative outcomes and technical features between previous da Vinci Si and the newer Xi robotic platform during total hysterectomy plus salpingo-oophorectomy with or without lymphadenectomy for early-stage endometrial cancer. We retrospectively analyzed147 patients with histological confirmation of endometrial carcinoma stage IA: grade 1-2, 3 and stage IB: grade 1-2 who underwent surgery with da Vinci Si or Xi system between January 2016 and December 2018. Perioperative data, technical features and postoperative complications were considered. 91 patients underwent surgery with the Si system and 56 with the Xi system. Docking time using the Xi system was significantly shorter (p < 0.002), while overall operating time was similar. There were no significant differences in the number of harvested lymph nodes, conversion rate, mean hospital stay, complications, and technical aspects between the two groups. Our study detected similar perioperative outcomes and the trend toward shorter docking and operating time for Xi over Si robot.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the feasibility of the fourth arm of the da Vinci Si system for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). METHODS Fifty-eight consecutive patients underwent RAPN with the same port placements. After reviewing the surgical videos and records, 38 patients showing usefulness of the fourth arm were categorized into Group A and those not showing usefulness into Group B. The background data, tumor characteristics, and perioperative outcomes were compared between the groups. RESULTS Group B had a larger proportion of tumors located on the inner side of the kidney, and the console time was significantly longer. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that tumors located on the inner side of the kidney were associated with the non-use of the fourth arm of the da Vinci Si system during RAPN. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that use of fourth arm in RAPN by da Vinci Si should be considered for each tumor location.

Abstract
Introduction: Surgical treatment of ureteral endometriosis is necessary to relieve urinary symptoms of obstruction and to preserve renal function. Which surgical approach to ureteral endometriosis should be considered the most appropriate is debated, due to the lack of scientific evidence. The aim of the present study is to assess the feasibility and to describe the perioperative outcomes of minimally invasive treatment of deep ureteral endometriosis using robotic assistance, highlighting the technical benefits and the limits of this approach. Method: A case-series including 31 consecutive patients affected by high-stage endometriosis including ureteral endometriosis using robotic assistance in our Department between November 2011 and September 2017. Results: All procedures were successfully completed by robotic technique, resulting in full excision of the parametrial nodules involving the ureter. Mean operating time was 184.8 ± 81 min. Mean hospital stay was 4.02 ± 3 days. Perioperative complications occurred in five patients and 4 out of 5 involved the urinary tract. Conclusions: Robotic surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis of the ureter was feasible and allowed complete resection of ureteral nodules in all cases. No intraoperative complications arose, but a non-negligible rate of urinary tract complications was detected. This calls for a careful assessment of the benefits and specific risks associated with the use of robotic surgery for the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the ureter.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is often taught with the surgical mentor at the surgeon console and the trainee at the patient's bedside. The da Vinci dual console (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, California) allows a surgical mentor to teach with both the mentor and the trainee working at a surgeon console simultaneously. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the dual console versus the single console for teaching medical students robotic tasks. METHODS Forty novice medical students were randomized to either the da Vinci single-console or dual-console group and were taught 4 knot-tying techniques by a surgical mentor. The students were timed while performing the tasks. RESULTS No statistically significant differences in mean task times were observed between the single- and dual-console groups: interrupted stitch with a 2-handed knot (300 seconds for single vs 294 seconds for dual, P=.59), interrupted stitch with a 1-handed knot (198 seconds for single vs 212 seconds for dual, P=.88), figure-of-8 stitch with a 2-handed knot (261 seconds for single vs 219 seconds for dual, P=.20), and figure-of-8 stitch with a 1-handed knot (200 seconds for single vs 199 seconds for dual, P=.53). CONCLUSION No significant difference was observed in performance time when teaching knot-tying techniques to medical students using the da Vinci dual console compared with the single console. More research needs to be performed on the utility of the da Vinci dual console in surgical training.
