“…This was confirmed by interviews in which the PTs reported that young and middle-aged patients were more committed to attending online sessions compared to elderly patients. A previous study found that the education levels of patients impact their awareness of telemedicine technology [27], indicating that the better educated individuals are, the more willing they are to use technology [11, 27, 28]. In Saudi Arabia, training sessions were provided for elderly patients to increase their understanding of telerehabilitation and their subsequent satisfaction with its usefulness [29].…”

Telerehabilitation during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Patients and Physical Therapists’ Experiences

Objectives: This study aimed to explore patients’ satisfaction and attitudes regarding telerehabilitation use during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to report physical therapists’ experiences with the use of telerehabilitation. Subjects and Methods: A modified Telemedicine Satisfaction and Usefulness Questionnaire (TSUQ) was used to assess the satisfaction and attitudes of musculoskeletal patients who had received telerehabilitation services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight physical therapists to explore their experiences with telerehabilitation, including the difficulties and benefits. Results: Out of 53 patients received telerehabilitation, 46 questionnaires were completed, with a response rate of 86.8%. In general, the patients were satisfied with and had positive attitudes towards the telerehabilitation services. The majority of the patients felt more involved in their care via telerehabilitation (89.2%) and believed that video call sessions were a convenient form of telerehabilitation (93.5%) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven out of 8 physical therapists reported the benefits of telerehabilitation (ie., reducing patients waiting lists and improving access to physical therapy care). Also, they were in favour of continuing using telerehabilitation to support the conventional physical therapy care, despite the lack of technological infrastructure. Conclusion: The patients as well as the physical therapists were generally satisfied with their telerehabilitation experiences. Using telerehabilitation in Kuwait was favoured to be as an adjunct method during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with extensive training, resources allocation, and the development of local guidelines, telerehabilitation would become an effective mean for the health delivery system in Kuwait.

“…Only 18% of program directors in the US believed that robotic training should be part of pediatric surgical fellowships previously. Perceptions of robot-assisted surgery are variable, with much of the hesitancy being dependent on misconception [ 8 ]. The tenets of robotic surgery are stronger within pediatric urology and the robotic platform offers a verified alternative operative platform for pediatric patients with positive future perspectives [ 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”

Background: Robot-assisted surgery demands a specific skillset of surgical knowledge, skills, and attitudes from the robotic surgeon to function as part of the robotic team and for maximal utility of the assistive surgical robot. Subsequently, the learning process of robot-assisted surgery entails new modes of learning. We sought to systematically summarize the published data on pediatric robot-assisted pyeloplasty (pRALP) to decipher the learning process by analyzing learning curves. Methods: This review followed the PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were systematically searched for ‘learning curve’ AND ‘pediatric pyeloplasty’. All studies presenting outcomes of learning curves (LC) in the context of pRALP in patients < 18 years of age were included. Studies comparing LC in pRALP versus open and/or laparoscopic pyeloplasty were also included; however, those solely focusing on LC in non-robotic approaches were excluded. The methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle and Ottawa scale. Results: Competency was non-uniformly defined in all fifteen studies addressing learning curves in pRALP. pRALP was considered safe at all stages. Proficiency in pRALP was reached after 18 cases, while competency was estimated to demand 31 operated cases with operative duration as outcome variable. Conclusions: Pediatric RALP is safe during the learning process and ‘learning by doing’ improves efficiency. Competencies with broader implications than time must be defined for future studies.

“…The da Vinci surgical robot system appeared at the end of the 20th century, and the fourth generation of the robot was launched in 2014, with qualitative improvements in flexibility, accuracy, and imaging clarity. Notably, a remote observation and guidance system was developed in the second half of 2014[ 10 , 11 ]. According to reports, the da Vinci robot has evolved into its fifth generation[ 12 ].…”

BACKGROUND Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is an extremely rare congenital malformation characterized by mirror displacement of the thoracoabdominal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, and stomach. Herein, we describe a patient with SIT complicated with cholangiocarcinoma who underwent successful pancreaticoduodenectomy with the assistance of a da Vinci robot. CASE SUMMARY A 58-year-old female presented to the hospital with paroxysmal pain in her left upper abdomen, accompanied by jaundice and staining of the sclera as chief complaints. Imaging examination detected a mass at the distal end of the common bile duct, with inverted thoracic and abdominal organs. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography forceps biopsy revealed the presence of a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient successfully underwent robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy; the operation lasted 300 min, the intraoperative blood loss was 500 mL, and there were no intraoperative and postoperative complications. CONCLUSION SIT is not directly related to the formation of cholangiocarcinoma. Detailed preoperative imaging examination is conducive to disease diagnosis and also convenient for determining the feasibility of tumor resection. Robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy for SIT complicated with cholangiocarcinoma provides a safe, feasible, minimally invasive, and complication-free alternative with adequate preoperative planning combined with meticulous intraoperative procedures.
