Tóm tắt

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.
