Telesurgery, which utilizes remote communication technology and surgical robots for operations, is an emerging method that breaks the constraints of space on surgical procedures and is an important development direction for future surgery. With a vast territory, telesurgery has the potential to become a candidate method to improve the uneven distribution of regional medical resources. In recent years, with the development and maturity of China′s domestic surgical robot technology and communication technology, China has made rapid progress in the field of telesurgery, but is still in the primary stage of development, facing many challenges and also taking advantage of opportunities. The next 20 years will be a golden opportunity for the development of telesurgery worldwide, and it is a hopeful view that Chinese surgeons will seize the opportunity and face the challenges to lead the development of telesurgery.

It was a retrospective cohort study. Patients diagnosed with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) and received rituximab (RTX) alone for one course of treatment during hospitalization in the Department of Nephrology of the First Hospital of Jilin University from March 2020 to March 2022 were enrolled. The patients were divided into 1 g standard treatment group (once 1 g every 2 weeks for twice) and 375 mg/m 2 experimental treatment group (375 mg/m 2 once a week for 4 weeks) according to the different methods of drug administration, and the efficacy and safety of different doses of RTX in the treatment of IMN were compared between the two groups to provide a reference for optimizing the clinical treatment protocol. The patients were followed up regularly for more than 9 months after treatment and the data were complete. A total of 69 patients were included with age of (51.7±11.8) years old, and 46 males (66.7%). There were 31 patients in the 1 g standard treatment group and 38 patients in the 375 mg/m 2 experimental treatment group. The proportion of first-treatment patients in the 1 g standard treatment group was higher than that in the 375 mg/m 2 experimental treatment group (87.1% vs. 65.8%, χ2=4.174, P=0.041). There were no statistically significant differences in the general data, clinical characteristics and baseline laboratory parameters between the two groups (all P>0.05). At the end of 3 months of treatment, 22 patients (31.9%) experienced remission, including 9 patients (29.0%) in the 1 g standard treatment group and 13 patients (34.2%) in the 375 mg/m 2 experimental treatment group ( χ2=0.211, P=0.646). At 6 months, 30 patients (43.5%) experienced remission, including 12 patients (38.7%) in the 1 g standard treatment group and 18 patients (47.4%) in the 375 mg/m 2 experimental treatment group ( χ2=0.521, P=0.470). At 9 months, 38 patients (55.1%) achieved remission, including 18 patients (58.1%) in the 1 g standard treatment group and 20 patients (52.6%) in the 375 mg/m 2 experimental treatment group ( χ2=0.204, P=0.652). At 9 months, the 24 h urine protein of 1 g standard treatment group and 375 mg/m 2 experimental treatment group decreased by 7.93 (6.24, 8.46) g and 7.45 (5.66, 8.67) g (both P<0.05), respectively, and serum albumin increased by 16.4 (15.5, 17.5) g/L and 15.5 (9.0, 15.8) g/L (both P<0.05), respectively, from the baseline value. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis result showed that there was no significant difference in the time of phospholipase A2 receptor titer decreasing to <5 RU/ml between the two groups (Log-rank χ2=3.653, P=0.056). Twenty-three non-serious adverse events occurred in the 1 g standard treatment group, involving 16 patients, and 10 non-serious adverse events occurred in the 375 mg/m 2 experimental treatment group, involving 10 patients. There was better safety in the 375 mg/m 2 experimental treatment group than that in the 1 g standard treatment group ( Fisher value=8.593, P=0.015). Both 375 mg/m 2 regimen and 1 g regimen of RTX in IMN patients are effective in relieving proteinuria and elevating serum albumin. The 375 mg/m 2 regimen of RTX has a lower incidence of adverse events compared with the 1 g regimen.

Objective To determine the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of hand，foot，and mouth disease （HFMD） in Pujiang County from 2008 through 2020， so as to provide scientific evidence for prevention and control measures. Methods Descriptive epidemiological analysis was used to analyze HFMD cases retrieved in the Chinese Information System for Disease Control and Prevention in Pujiang County during 2008‒2020. Results From 2008 through 2020， a total of 9 393 cases were documented in Pujiang County， with an annual incidence of 182.3 per 100 000， showing a trend of alternating high-incidence and low-incidence years. The seasonal distribution was bimodal， and the incidence peaked in May-July and November-December. The incidence of HFMD in urban areas was significantly higher than that in rural areas， and the incidence was positively correlated with population density. Majority of cases （94.9%） were children under 5 years old， of which boys had higher incidence than girls. The number of documented cases was the highest among preschool children living in families and kindergartens， accounting for 97.3%. Totally， 558 cases were laboratory confirmed in Pujiang County in 2008-2020， of which severe cases were all caused by EV71 infection. Conclusion Enterovirus serotypes in HFMD have continually changed from 2008 through 2020 in Pujiang County. However， severe HFMD remains principally attributable to EV71 infection， suggesting that it is necessary to strengthen the surveillance on the etiology of HFMD. In addition， it warrants further promotion of EV71 vaccination.

Objective:To explore the curative effect of robotic intracorporeal studer orthotopic neobladder (RISON).Methods:The clinical data of 40 patients who underwent RISON in our hospital from April 2018 to March 2020 were analyzed retrospectively, including 39 males and 1 female with an average age of (56.4±9.9)years, an average body mass index of (25.5±3.1) kg/m 2. Four patients received preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Comorbidity component index score was 0-2 points in 6 cases, 3-5 points in 33 cases, 6-8 points in 1 case. All patients had definite pathological diagnosis for the high grade urothelial carcinoma or recurrent bladder tumors, and the tumor staging forecast within T 2 stage. Biopsy of the posterior urethra and bladder neck revealed negative result of tumor invasion. The patients had normal kidney function and without any clear bowel disease history. All patients underwent robotic radical intracorporeal studer orthotopic neobladders and standard lymphadenectomy. About 30 to 40 cm from terminal ileum was selected as the new bladder neck and 50 cm ileum as neobladder. Restore intestinal continuity with EndoGIA. The intestinal canal was cut off along the offside of mesentery except for proximal 10 cm. After U-shape suture of the new bladder back wall, the new anterior bladder wall was sutured with barbs line further in pulp muscularis. "Wallace" was performed bilateral ureteral anastomosis and closing the proximal end of the anterior wall of the new bladder. Further follow-up results were also collected to evaluate the clinical treatment effect, including pathological results of tumor, bladder capacity, urine control (usage of pads), sexual function, short-term(≤30 d) and long-term(>30 d) complications. Results:All the RISONs were successfully performed without conversion to open operation. Median operation time was 360(300.0, 442.5) min, blood loss was 200(200.0, 337.5) ml, indwelling time of gastric tube was 3(3, 4)d, full tolerance time was 3(3, 5)d, and postoperative hospital stay was 9(8, 10)d. Postoperative pathological results showed 39(97.5%) cases were no more than T 2N 0M 0, 1 case was confirmed T 3aN 0M 0 pathologically, 1 case was positive in surgical margin, 1 case was diagnosed as incidental prostate cancer, 15(12, 20) lymph nodes were dissected and no lymph node metastasis was found. Short-term (within 30 days) complications occurred in 12 patients, including Clavien grade Ⅰ 7 cases, Clavien grade Ⅱ 5 cases. Long-term (out of 30 days) complications occurred in 18 patients, including Clavien grade Ⅰ 10 cases, Clavien grade Ⅱ 7 cases, Clavien grade Ⅲ 1 case. And the follow-up time was 1 to 24 months. The median bladder volume 300 (0, 400)ml of 25 patients who were followed up for more than one year and 1 in 34 female patient developed incontinence. Other 33 patients had continence rate of 93.9% (0 pad) during the day, and needed regular urination at night (1-3 times), with an average of 2 pads. All 11 patients with nerve-sparing achieved satisfactory erectile function after operation, with an average IIEF-6 score of (21.5±2.7). No tumor recurrence or death occurred in all patients during the follow-up period. Conclusions:Robotic intracorporeal studer orthotopic neobladder is a safe and feasible urinary diversion operation. The patients achieved good clinical efficacy in tumor control, bladder volume, daytime and nighttime continence, sexual function recovery.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of robotic nephrectomy,work bench surgery with robotic kidney autotransplantation in the treatment of complex renal tumors.Methods The clinical data of 5 patients with renal tumors admitted from January 2018 to July 2018 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 4 males and 1 females.The median age was 49 years old,ranging 32-66 years.The median body mass index was 25.6 kg/m2,ranging 21.1-27.8 kg/m2.Serum creatinine level was 87.2 μmol/L,ranging 78.0-88.9μmol/L before bench surgery.5 patients had multiple bilateral renal tumors and had undergone laparoscopic or robotic partial nephrectomy on the contralateral kidney.For bench surgery kidney,4 cases were on the left side and 1 case was on the right side.Each kidney has more than 2 separate tumors,combined with complete endophytic tumors,tumors larger than 7 cm in diameter or hilar tumors.5 patients were all performed robotic nephrectomy,work bench partial nephrectomy with robotic kidney autotransplantation under general anesthesia.The patient was first in a lateral decubitus position for robotic nephrectomy,and the kidney was removed through a median 6 cm periumbilical incision.After kidney removal,kidney tumors were resected and kidney was reconstructed on a hypothermic working table.Then the kidney was packed in a plastic bag,filling with ice slush.The corresponding parts of the plastic bag were cut to expose the renal artery and vein.Finally,the patient was moved to lithotomy position with Trendelenburg tilt of 20°,and the autologous kidney wrapped in the plastic bag was placed through the previous periumbilical incision into the abdominal cavity for robotic kidney autotransplantation.The renal artery and vein were anastomosed end-to-side with the right external iliac artery and vein.The ureter and bladder were anastomosed.Autologous kidneys were placed in abdominal cavity in 4 cases,and placed in right iliac fossa with retroperitonealization in 1 case.Ice slush on the surface of the autologous kidney did not completely melt before the blood supply was restored during the operation,and the autologous kidney immediately urinated after the blood supply was restored.Results All surgeries were performed successfully without conversion to open surgeries.The total operation time was 460 min,ranging (415-645 min),the time of robotic nephrectomy was 120 min,ranging (74-300 min),the time of robotic kidney autotransphntation was 135 min,ranging(103-163 min),the warm ischemia time was 3 min,ranging (1.5-6.0 min),the cold ischemia time was 182 min,ranging(135-210 min),the rewarming time was 50 min,ranging(45-55 min),the estimated blood loss during operation was 100 ml,ranging(50-300 ml),and the hospital stay was 6 d,ranging(5-9 d).The number of resected tumors was 4,ranging(2-6).The pathology reveals clear cell carcinoma in 3 cases and chromophobe cell carcinoma in 2 cases.The surgical margins were all negative.The serum creatinine levels were 111.1 μmol/L (87-217.6 μ mol/L) and 106.1 μmol/L (87.1-172 μmol/L) on the 7th and 30th day after operation,respectively.One month after operation,CT showed that the function and morphology of the autologous kidneys were fine.No recurrence or metastasis was found in 5 patients during a median follow-up of 7 months,ranging (5.4-11.7 mon).Conclusions For patients with complex renal tumors who cannot undergo in situ partial nephrectomy,robotic nephrectomy,work bench surgery with robotic kidney autotransplantation can completely remove the tumors,maximize the preservation of renal function and minimize the trauma of patients,making the ultimate means of nephron-sparing surgery for patients with complex renal tumors more minimally invasive and safe.

Objective To explore the feasibility of robot-assisted laparoscopic inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy in treating renal tumor with Mayo level Ⅲ-Ⅳ inferior vena cava thrombus.Methods From November 2014 to January 2017,5 cases of renal tumor with Mayo level Ⅲ-Ⅳ inferior vena cava tumor thrombus were treated with robot-assisted surgery.There were 4 males and 1 female with the median age of 59 years (range 54-71 years).Four cases had the renal tumor on the right side and one on the left side.The mean tumor size was 6.8 cm (range 5-9 cm) with 3 cases of T3b and 2 cases of T3c.There were 4 cases of level Ⅲ and 1 case of level Ⅳ inferior vena cava thrombus with the median length of 9 cm (range 7-11 cm).The surgical procedure for Mayo level Ⅲ inferior vena cava thrombus included mobilization of both left and right robes of liver,subsequently controlling the suprahepatic infradiaphramatic IVC and first porta hepatis simultaneously.The surgical procedure for Mayo level Ⅳ inferior vena cava thrombus included cardiopulmonary bypass by multi-disciplinary cooperation among urologists,hepatobiliary and cardiovascular surgeons.The procedures included live mobilization,control of the superior vena cava and first porta hepatis and remove thrombus in the atrium and IVC respectively.Results All operations were completed successfully.The median operative time was 440 min (320-630 min).The blood recovery device was used and the intraoperative estimated blood loss was 2 500 ml (500-6 000 ml) and all cases required intraoperative blood transfusion.The median time of intraoperative occlusion of IVC was 35 min (25-50 min).All patients were transferred to the intensive care unit for median of 4 days (2-8 days) after surgery.The median time to remove the postoperative drainage tube was 9 days (7-12 days).Postoperative pathological diagnosis revealed 5 cases of clear cell carcinoma.Postoperative renal dysfunction occurred in 3 patients and liver dysfunction occurred in 2 patients who improved after medical therapy.During median 19.6 months (12-48 months) of follow-up,1 patient died and 1 patient progressed.Conclusions Despite the high risk of surgery,robot-assisted laparoscopic IVC thrombectomy for renal tumor with Mayo level Ⅲ-Ⅳ thrombus is feasible for experienced surgeons in selected patients.However,the oncological outcomes need further investigation.

Objective To describe our renal sinus anatomy based tension-free reconstruction technique step by step and report perioperative data and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing robotassisted nephron-sparing surgery for hilar tumors.Methods From June 2013 to December 2016,data of 286 consecutive patients with hilar tumor who underwent RAPN in single center were retrospectively reviewed.There were 202 males and 84 females,aged (56.2 ± 9.2) years.The body mass index was (26.8 ± 3.5) kg/m2.The median diameter of tumor was 2.6 cm(0.8-6.0 cm),and R.E.N.A.L.score was 8.2 ± 1.8.The anatomy-based "Garland" technique specialized in protecting the large hilar vessels and minimizing the tension of trans/retroperitoneal defect suturing approach for anterior/posterior lip hilar tumor respectively.Patient's perioperative complications and long-term follow-up including renal function and oncological outcomes were analyzed.Results "Garland technique" was successfully applied in 284 patients,the warm ischemia time (WIT) was (18.2 ±4.1) min.Median estimated blood loss (EBL) for RAPN was 100 ml (range:10-600 ml).Median operative time was 120 min (range:60-230 min).No patient was converted to open surgery.Postoperative hospital stay was 4.0 d (range:2.0-9.0 d).Three patients (1.1％) had positive surgical margins.Of all the pathological results,260 cases (91.5％)were clear renal cell carcinoma,8 cases (2.8％)were chromophobe renal carcinoma,7 cases (2.5％)were papillary type renal cell carcinoma,5 cases(1.8％) were oncocytoma,3 cases (1.1％)were angiomyolipoma,one case (0.3％) was mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma.Two patients underwent blood transfusion.Three patients(1.0％) had local recurrence.284 patients were alive at a median follow-up of 36 months (range:12-54 months).Conclusions "Garland technique" is safe and feasible for hilar tumor resection and reconstruction with less surgical complications.Large renal vessel injury was avoided and tension of wound closure was minimized.The trans/retroperitoneal approaches are capable for anterior/posterior hilar tumor.Patients with hilar tumor could benefit from robotic surgery with a well preserved renal function and good oncological outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the key technique and effectiveness of potency preservation in robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP).Methods The complete clinical and follow-up data of 30 cases underwent RALP between February and May of 2016 were reviewed retrospectively.The average age of the patients was 67.3 years (48-82 years).The peak PSA level before surgery ranged from 7.6 to 53.4 ng/ml with the average level of 21.1 ng/ml.There were 7,16,6 and 1 case with the Gleason score of 6,7,8,and 9 point,respectively.Preoperative erectile score (IIEF-5) of the 30 patients were list as below:3 cases (0-10 points),4 cases(11-15 points),17 cases(16-20 points),and 6 cases(21-25 points).The key techniques of potency preservation during RALRP includes deep dorsal vein ligation techniques,neurovascular bundles preservation techniques and drain tube placement techniques.Results All 30 cases underwent operation successfully with no transfer to open surgery.Average operative time was 150.7 min (98-240 min) with an estimated blood loss of 165.7ml (50-550 ml).The average drainage removal time was 5.1 d postoperatively.The average bowel recovery time was 2.7 d and average hospitalization time was 8.2 d,respectively.There were two cases with one positive margin on the bladder neck and one on the tip of prostate,respectively.Seventeen cases gained potency preservation six months after surgery.Conclusion It was safe and beneficial for the potency preservation in RALP,which could be considered as one of the best options for the prostate cancer surgery.

Objective To conclude and compare the technical characteristics and clinical efficacy of retroperitoneal and transperitoneal approach for robotic partial nephrectomy.Methods 418 patients received robotic partial nephrectomy conducted by one surgeon in the urology department of PLA General Hospital from 2013, December to 2015, October, including 157 cases in retroperitoneal approach and 261 cases in transperitoneal approach.There were no significant difference between the transperitoeal and retroperitoneal approach in patient age(51 years, 51 years, P=0.593), BMI(25.5 kg/m2,25.6 kg/m2, P=0.331), gender(male/female:111/46,186/75,P=0.184), location(left/right,80/77,123/138,P=0.575), tumor size(3.1cm,3.5cm,P =0.356), comorbidities, proportion of solitary kidney(11.5%, 9.6%,P=0.253) or bilateral tumors(1.3%,3.4%,P=0.179), RENAL score(6(5-8),6(5-8),P=0.083), ASA score(2 vs.2)(P=0.310) and preoperative serum creatinine(74.7 μmol/L,76.7 μmol/L, P=0.736).Patients in the retroperitoeal approach group were more likely to have abdomen surgery history (21.7%,14.2%,P=0.049).there was significant difference between two approaches in tumor location in the kidney ( anterior/posterior/others: 9/140/8, 212/36/13, P <0.001 ) Results The operation time (105min, 115min, P =0.041 ) and warm ischemia time ( 15min, 20min, P <0.001 ) were shorter and estimated blood loss(50ml,75ml,P<0.001) was less in the retroperitoneal group.No significant difference was observed in postoperative 24h blood loss(45ml,50ml,P =0.093), intraoperative transfusion rate (2.5%,6.5%,P=0.072) and collective system injury(24.8%,27.6%,P =0.539) between the two groups.Peritoneum break occurred in 25 cases in retroperitoneal group, which were repaired by Hem-o-lock.One intestinal injury occurred in transperitoneal group and was repaired intraoperatively.Three and nine cases in the retroperitoneal and transperitoneal group were converted to radical nephrectomy.One case in the transperitoneal group was found positive margin and received laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.Two liver injury and five spleen injury occurred in the transperitoneal group.For postoperative food intake(1 day, 2 days, P <0.001 ) , the length of indwelling drainage ( 3 days, 4 days, P <0.001 ) and the length of postoperative stay ( 5 days, 6 days, P =0.001 ) , the retroperitoneal group had one day shorter than the transperitoneal group.With the median following-up time of both group, 11 months (IQR:6-16) in RPRPN group and 12 months ( IQR: 7-19 ) , no subject with a tumor recovery or metastasis.Conclusions Retroperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy is feasible and effective, which is similar to transperitoneal approach.The retroperitoneal approach is superior to transperitoneal approach for posterior, lateral and superior renal tumors.
