| dc.description.abstract | Background: Robotic assisted surgery (RAS) has seen significant advancement in many surgical specialties, although the application of robotics in plastic and reconstructive surgery remains to be widely established. This systematic review aims to assess the role of RAS in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Methods: The review protocol was published and registered a priori as CRD42024507420. A comprehensive electronic search for relevant studies was performed in MEDLINE, Embase and Google scholar databases. Results: Overall, 132 studies were initially identified, of which, 44 studies satisfied the eligibility criteria with a cumulative total of 239 patients. RAS demonstrated a high degree of procedural success and anastomotic patency in microvascular procedures. There was no significant difference in periprocedural adverse events between robotic and manual procedures. Conclusion: RAS can be feasibly implemented in plastic and reconstructive surgery with a good efficacy and safety profile, particularly for microsurgical anastomosis and trans-oral surgery. | |

Ultrasound guidance in reproductive surgery.Ultrasound plays a key role in diagnosis and guidance in reproductive medicine and surgery. In the field of reproductive surgery, some of the interventions, especially intrauterine procedures, are regularly conducted without imaging guidance but instead performed based on clinical skills and experience alone. Operative real-time US provides concurrent visualisation of the structures, contents and planes and operating instruments and, therefore, has the potential to improve efficacy and safety of the operative interventions. Ultrasound should be used in our operating theatres more often to guide various intrauterine procedures to reduce the intra-operative risks and complications including uterine perforations and visceral injury. The use of ultrasound necessitates an additional assistant experienced in ultrasound in the theatre, but regular use of ultrasound improves the training opportunities of the trainees and clinicians.

Management of advanced ovarian cancer in Leicester: The benefits of a paradigm shift in surgical approachAim: Surgery for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) has evolved over the past decade to ingeminate the need to offer maximum effort surgery (MES). The aim of this study is to analyze the implementation of a paradigm shift in the surgical management of women with AOC at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL) in 2015, until 2020, compared to 2011-2014. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of women with AOC who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in the UHL. The two groups were: 153 women from January 2011 to December 2014 (group 1), 136 women from January 2015 to January 2020 (group 2). Results: In group 1, the 1, 3, and 5 years overall survival rates (OS) were, 90.4%, 33.7%, and 19.3%, compared to 90.2%, 55.4%, and 29.7%, respectively, in group 2 (p = 0.012). Significantly more women had CRS in group 2: 45-Primary debulking surgery (PDS) and 57-interval debulking surgery (IDS) versus 17-PDS & 67-IDS in group 1 (p < 0.001). Surgical complexity score (modified Aletti score) was higher in group 2 compared to group 1 (p = <0.001). No significant difference was noted in the postoperative complications, in group 2, in women who underwent PDS versus IDS, yet PDS was associated with higher OS. Conclusions: MES/CRS in women with AOC significantly improves OS. Our data highlights the importance of a dedicated team to implement this change in cancer centers. Where possible, suitable women with AOC likely to have complete cytoreduction based on preoperative assessment, should be offered PDS.

Perceptions of theatre team members to robotic assisted surgery and the aid of technology in colorectal surgeryThe implementation of robotic assisted surgery (RAS) has brought in a change to the perception and roles of theatre staff, as well as the dynamics of the operative environment and team. This study aims to identify and describe current perceptions of theatre staff in the context of RAS. 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted in a tertiary level university hospital, where RAS is utilised in selected elective settings. Interviews were conducted by an experienced research nurse to staff of the colorectal department operating theatre (nursing, surgical and anaesthetics) with some experience in operating within open, laparoscopic and RAS surgical settings. Thematic analysis on all interviews was performed, with formation of preliminary themes. Respondents all discussed advantages of all modes of operating. All respondents appreciated the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, in the reduced physiological insult to patients. However, interviewees remarked on the current perceived limitations of RAS in terms of logistics. Some voiced apprehension and anxieties about the safety if an operation needs to be converted to open. An overarching theme with participants of all levels and backgrounds was the 'Teamwork' and the concept of the [robotic] team. The physical differences of RAS changes the traditional methods of communication, with the loss of face-to-face contact and the physical 'separation' of the surgeon from the rest of the operating team impacting theatre dynamics. It is vital to understand the staff cultures, concerns and perception to the use of this relatively new technology in colorectal surgery.
