Abstract

Robotic technology emerged after the advent of laparoscopic surgery in the 1990s, initially with camera steadying systems for laparoscopic surgery, now with console controlled articulating instruments, 3D visualization and enhanced optics. Due to these advances, multi-port robotic cholecystectomy (MPRC) is an acceptably safe alternative to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It allows the surgeon increased visualization and wristed instrumentation which mimics the hand motion of open surgery. MPRC has not been widely adopted, but may be helpful in reoperative and complex patients. This chapter focuses on the safe application of robotic technology in performing cholecystectomy with the da Vinci SI Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical Inc. Sunnyvale, CA), but the concepts will be broadly applicable to other systems.
