Robotic left colon cancer resection: a dual docking technique that maximizes splenic flexure mobilization

Abstract

Robotic left colon cancer resection using our dual docking technique is safe and feasible. This procedure can maximize splenic mobilization in robotic colorectal surgery.

Reduced‐port robotic anterior resection for left‐sided colon cancer using the Da Vinci single‐site® platform

“…Pathologically, the total number of lymph nodes harvested was 18.7 and the median proximal and distal resection margins were 7.8 cm and 4.7 cm, respectively. These results show that RPRS may prove to be comparable with conventional multiport robotic surgery for left‐sided colon cancer based on previous studies .…”

Robotic rectal surgery in Korea: Analysis of a nationwide registry

“…In addition, culture might play a role; as a powerful country in the information technology (IT) industry, patients and operators are quick to embrace new technology. The rapid adoption and installation of new robotic surgical systems nationwide have contributed to the development of inventive techniques and standardization of robotic rectal surgery …”

“…This 2016 marks the 10th anniversary of the introduction of robotic surgical systems to Korea. In this short time, robotic surgery in Korea – including rectal surgery – has made rapid progress in the field of general surgery, and many reports based on a large volume of experiences have been published …”

Insight into the da Vinci® Xi – technical notes for single‐docking left‐sided colorectal procedures

“…Reflecting the learning curve inherent to the adoption of a new technology, several authors have described a shortening of docking time with experience . Various authors have also described dual‐docking and single‐stage docking techniques aimed at maximizing the working field of the robot …”
