Robotic single-incision right hemicolectomy with extended lymphadenectomy using the da Vinci SP Surgical Platform

ABSTRACT

The da Vinci SP Surgical System (dVSP; Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) was introduced to overcome this limitation of single-incision laparoscopic surgery. This new surgical platform has been demonstrated favorable performance in colorectal surgery and its use has been increasing. And, in accordance with the increment of adoption of dVSP, the indication to apply this platform has been expanding. Herein, we report a technique of right hemicolectomy with extended lymphadenectomy beyond conventional lymph node dissection using dVSP.
