Case Series of the MonthRobotic Urologic Surgical Interventions Performed with the Single Port Dedicated Platform: First Clinical Investigation
Section snippets
Case series
Prospective data collection for this series was conducted by investigators from the Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland, OH, USA). The surgical procedures were performed by a single surgeon (J.K.) using the da Vinci SP robotic surgical platform (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) during the first 10 days (September 28–October 12, 2018) after the system was installed. Data for perioperative outcomes were collected under institutional review board approval (IRB 13-780). Subjects provided informed
Results
A total of nine patients were counseled for potential enrollment. All patients consented to undergo the surgery performed with the da Vinci SP surgical system. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients are reported in Table 1. Procedures performed included three robot-assisted radical prostatectomies (2 performed via a transperitoneal and 1 via a transperineal approach; Fig. 2), three transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomies (Fig. 3), one simple cystectomy with an
Discussion
The recent advances in surgical robotics combined with the pursuit to reduce the invasiveness of laparoscopic surgery have led to the development of novel robotic platforms specifically designed for single-port surgery [3]. Among the latest developments in the field, the da Vinci SP1098 system (Intuitive Surgical) is a robotic platform purpose-built for single-site, single-port surgery [4]. Kaouk et al. [5] described the first clinical application of its earlier SP999 version and successfully
