Early clinical experience with the Carina robotic platform in urologic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a new modular robotic surgical platform - Carina Platform (Ronovo Surgical, Shanghai, China) in prostate and renal surgeries.

Methods

We performed 11 robot-assisted radical prostatectomies (RARP) and 7 robot-assisted partial nephrectomies (RAPN) using the novel Carina Platform at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (Shanghai, China). The port placements, operating space setting, cart distances and patient positions for all surgeries were recommended according to the procedure cards developed by Ronovo Surgical. Outcomes include success rate (completion without conversion to laparoscopy or open surgery), docking time, total surgery time and safety evaluations such as estimated blood loss (EBL) and complications.
