Chicago 2009 Video – Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Anatomic Right Hepatectomy (the first case in China)
W.B Ji
Background/Hypothesis
The surgical robotic system is superior to traditional laparoscopy in regards to 3-dimensional images and better instrumentations. Robotic surgery for hepatic resection has not yet been extensively reported. The first robotic-assisted laparoscopic formal right hepatectomy in China was performed at our institution in July 2009. This video will show the pertinent steps to perform a robotic-assisted laparoscopic formal right hepatectomy.
Materials & Methods
A 53-year-old man with right-sided intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was referred for surgical treatment. The robotic-assisted laparoscopic formal right hepatectomy was performed. Liver mobilization and cholecystectomy were performed in the usual fashion.

Chicago 2009 Video – Robotic Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer. Technical Aspects
P. P. Bianchi
SUMMARY
The video shows technical aspects of robotic Total Mesorectal Excision (TME). Three robotic and two laparoscopic trocars were inserted. The cart and the arms of Da Vinci© are maintained in the same position during all the operation and the technique is full robotic. The anastomosis is performed under laparoscopic guidance with the Knight-Griffen technique.
Background/Hypothesis
