Robotic stapler use: Is it safe?-FDA database analysis across multiple surgical specialties.

Robotic stapler use: Is it safe?-FDA database analysis across multiple surgical specialties.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Robotic-assisted techniques are common across many surgical subspecialties. While robotic stapling offers increased surgeon control, there is limited information on surgical complications related to robotic stapler use.<h4>Methods</h4>We reviewed the FDA&...
