“…After initial experience with both these techniques, we opted for the transabdominal route [5], using extreme patient rotation. This technique offers a clear and stable operative field, using a fan retractor to keep bowels from migrating into the operative field.…”

Background: Recently introduced robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) facilitates endoscopic surgical manipulation and thereby reduces the learning curve for (advanced) laparoscopic surgery. We present our learning curve with RALS for aortobifemoral bypass grafting as a treatment for aortoiliac occlusive disease. Methods: Between February 2002 and May 2005, 17 patients were treated in our institution with robot-assisted laparoscopic aorto-bifemoral bypasses. Dissection was performed laparoscopically and the robot was used to make the aortic anastomosis. Operative time, clamping time, and anastomosis time, as well as blood loss and hospital stay, were used as parameters to evaluate the results and to compare the first eight (group 1) and the last nine patients (group2). Results: Total median operative, clamping, and anastomosis times were 365 min (range: 225-589 min), 86 min (range: 25-205 min), and 41 min (range: 22-110 min), respectively. Total median blood loss was 1,000 ml (range: 100-5,800 ml). Median hospital stay was 4 days (range: 3-57 days). In this series 16/18 anastomoses were completed with the use of the robotic system. Three patients were converted (two in group 1, one in group 2), and one patient died postoperatively (group 1). Median clamping and anastomosis times were significantly different between groups 1 and 2 (111 min Conclusions: Robot-assisted aortic anastomosis was shown to have a steep learning curve with considerable reduction of clamping and anastomosis times. However, due to a longer learning curve for laparoscopic dissection of the abdominal aorta, operation times were not significantly shortened. Even with robotic assistance, laparoscopic aortoiliac surgery remains a complex procedure.

“…Dion et al pioneered towards the first total laparoscopic approach of the aortoiliac tract in 1993, by performing a laparoscopy assisted aortobifemoral bypass (Dion et al, 1993). Several open minded surgeons followed into his footsteps and several techniques for a total laparoscopic approach of aortoiliac disease were developed (Ahn et al, 1997;Alimi et al, 2000;Kolvenbach et al, 2001;Coggia et al, 2002). One-and-a-half decade later minimally invasive surgery of the aortoiliac vessels is performed only in a few centers around the globe.…”

Robotic systems have been used to overcome the technical difficulties in laparoscopic aortoiliac surgery. In this chapter the outcomes of clinical and experimental studies using a robotic surgical system for treatment of aortoiliac disease are reviewed. MethodsA computerized search was conducted in the medical databases Medline (from January 2000 to July 2007), Embase (from January 2000 to July 2007) and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Operative times, ICU-stay, clamping time, blood loss, anastomosis time, time to resume to solids, hospital stay, mortality and conversion rates were described. Experimental studies reporting on the creation of an aortic anastomosis with the robotic system were included. ResultsExperimental studies on vascular anastomoses showed equal results when compared to laparoscopy using the Zeus system, whereas the da Vinci robot showed better anastomosistimes and more precise anastomoses when compared to laparoscopic surgery. Five clinical studies were identified, with in total 70 patients. Operative time varied from 188 to 480 minutes, anastomosis time was 27 to 40.8 minutes. Total hospital stay differed between 4 and 7.3 days. An overall conversion rate of 7 (10%) was reported.
