Gasless Single-Port RoboSurgeon Total Cystectomy with Urinary Diversion

Gasless Single-Port RoboSurgeon Surgery in Urology

Abstract

Gasless single-port RoboSurgeon total cystectomy with urinary diversion is carried out in the wide pelvic retroperitoneal working space made along the anatomical plane through a single port, around 4–5 cm in diameter, assisted by the robotization of the surgeon using a system called RoboSurgeon. The RoboSurgeon system consists of three components: a three-dimensional head-mounted display (3D-HMD), handheld robot-like devices, and an endoscope manipulation robot. Part or all of this system is used depending on the situation, but the 3D-HMD, which provides six fields of vision in front of the eyes regardless of head position, is always used by surgeons. Using the direct vision obtained by moving the angle of sight downward, the surgeons receive instruments from the scrub nurse as well as observe the operative field to ensure safety. Along with total cystectomy, urinary diversion (either orthotopic neobladder or ileal conduit) is performed by extracting the ileum through the single port. Performing this surgery achieves three key “nos”: no high costs, no CO2, and no multiple ports, along with minimal intraperitoneal injury. Patients who had previously undergone extensive intraperitoneal surgery would benefit the most. Transition from open surgery can be accomplished without much difficulty. Without the RoboSurgeon system, single-port-like surgery, in which the port size is somewhat larger, can be performed using the procedures described herein.
