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
The video shows technical aspects of robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) in rectal cancer
Materials & Methods
The Robotic system used was a four arms Da Vinci® Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical

Chicago 2009 Video – Robotic Hand Assisted Left Donor Nephrectomy
V. Gorodner
Background
The living related donor nephrectomy has become a very popular procedure since the introduction of minimally invasive surgery. This has increased considerably the pool of donors. Most of the time due to its favorable conditions a left donor nephrectomy is the procedure of choice.
Methods
33 year old male donating a kidney to his brother who suffer from end-stage renal disease. The donor was screened according to a standardized protocol. Abdominal CT scan showed single renal arteries bilaterally without early branching.
