Minimally invasive surgery has been increasingly accepted and used in colorectal surgery. Several studies report that robotic surgery may provide advantages over 'conventional' laparoscopy, namely in rectal surgery. This paper provides an account of the first three years of experience with robotic surgery in the Unidade de Patologia Colorretal of the Unidade Local de Saúde S. José. ⋯ Our results show that the adoption of robotic colorectal surgery in our center was safe and resulted in similar or improved short-term clinical outcomes and histopathological results when compared to those described in the literature.

This study aimed to establish an effective predictive model for postoperative delirium (POD) risk assessment after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in older patients. The clinical data of 446 older patients undergoing TKA in the Orthopedics Department of our University from January to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and the POD risk prediction model of older patients after TKA was established. Finally, 446 patients were included, which were divided into training group (n = 313) and verification group (n = 133). ⋯ The area under receiver operating characteristic curve of the model group and the validation group were 0.954 and 0.931, respectively. The calibration curve of the prediction model has a high consistency between the 2 groups. The occurrence of POD was associated with age, educational level, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, accompaniment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, accompaniment of cerebral stroke, postoperative hypoxemia, long operation time, and postoperative pain in TKA patients.
