Abstract
Background: Rectal division during minimally invasive surgery including robotic assisted surgery remains challenging, with current techniques often requiring multiple stapler firings to achieve effective transection.
Aims: We propose a novel technique which allows the use of a Contour® Curved Cutter Stapler to achieve rectal division during robotic assisted surgery.
Methods: The stapler is inserted through the routinely made pfannenstiel incision and a glove, over an Alexis® port used to create an airtight seal.
Conclusion: This simple technique enables reliable perpendicular single stapler firing to achieve rectal transection during colorectal robotic assisted surgery without the requirement for any further incisions.
期刊介绍:
Since its establishment in 2003, The Surgeon has established itself as one of the leading multidisciplinary surgical titles, both in print and online. The Surgeon is published for the worldwide surgical and dental communities. The goal of the Journal is to achieve wider national and international recognition, through a commitment to excellence in original research. In addition, both Colleges see the Journal as an important educational service, and consequently there is a particular focus on post-graduate development. Much of our educational role will continue to be achieved through publishing expanded review articles by leaders in their field.
Articles in related areas to surgery and dentistry, such as healthcare management and education, are also welcomed. We aim to educate, entertain, give insight into new surgical techniques and technology, and provide a forum for debate and discussion.
