ROBOTIC GASTRECTOMY: TECHNIQUE STANDARDIZATION.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Trocars position for the Si model (position is similar for the Xi, although trocars stay more in line). Robotic gastrectomy is gaining popularity worldwide. It allows reduced blood loss and lesser pain. However, it widespread use is limited by the extensive learning curve and costs.

Aim

To describe our standard technique with reduced use of robotic instruments.

Methods

We detail the steps involved in the procedure, including trocar placement, necessary robotic instruments, and meticulous surgical description.

Results

After standardizing the procedure, 28 patients were operated with this budget technique. For each procedure material used was: 1 (Xi model) or 2 disposable trocars (Si) and 4 robotic instruments. Stapling and clipping were performed by t
