Performance and safety of Kangduo surgical robot versus da Vinci robotic system for urologic surgeries.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Kangduo (KD) surgical robot is a novel robotic system in China, and some animal experiments and single-arm clinical trials have indicated its effectiveness, feasibility, and safety for urologic surgeries. This study intended to compare the performance and safety of the KD surgical robot with the da Vinci (DV) robotic system in patients who received urologic surgeries.

Methods

A total of 201 patients who received urologic surgeries were divided into the KD group (N = 60) and the DV group (N = 141) according to the actual surgical methods.

Results

The median (range) operation time [180.0 (30.0-540.0) minutes vs. 130.0 (70.0-360.0) minutes] (P < 0.001) and indwelling time of abdominal drainage tube [5.0 (2.0-14.0) days vs. 3.0 (2.0-18.0) days] (P < 0.001) were
