Αbstract

We report the first case of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RARN) and Robot assisted cholecystectomy in a 66 years old female overweight patient with organ-confined right kidney tumor identified on the investigation of gastrointestinal symptoms with a single docking. A modified position of the patient and a slight altered placement of the trocars made feasible the concomitant performance of the two operations. Total blood loss was 80 ml, operation time was 253 min and console time 187 min. The drain was removed on second post-operative day and the patient was discharged at the 3rd post-operative day. Using a single docking of the da Vinci S system, intraoperative time and cost are minimized in patients with both organ-confined kidney tumors and gall bladder stones.
