BackgroundUsing the da Vinci robot in low anterior resection (LAR) has not been widely adopted due to limited range of motion of the robotic arms and the need to move the robot during operations. Our technique uses all three arms for both the splenic flexure and the pelvis, but with only one docking position.
MethodsThe robot is placed to the left of the patient. The camera port is 3 cm to the right...
BackgroundSince the introduction of robotics, relatively few series have been published evaluating its role for right colectomy. The aim of this study was to report our preliminary experience with totally robotic right colectomy (TRRC).
MethodsBetween 2009 and 2010 we performed three TRRCs, using a hand‐sewn intracorporeal anastomosis. Data were retrospectively reviewed.
ResultsTwo women and one...
Background
Its relatively low incidence and its surgical complexity mean that a standardized technique for left colectomy has not yet been established for splenic flexure and descending colon cancer (SF‐DCC).
Methods
Seventy‐three patients (robot‐assisted left colectomy with complete mesocolectomy [R‐LCCM], n = 20; laparoscopic left colectomy with complete mesocolectomy [L‐LCCM], n = 53) with SF‐DCC...
Background
Introduction of the da Vinci Xi system has facilitated the use of robotics in colorectal surgery. Nevertheless, data on the outcomes of robotic surgery for the treatment of colonic diverticulitis have remained scarce.
Methods
Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and perioperative outcomes of the patients undergoing totally robotic with the da Vinci Xi system or laparoscopic...
