Two arms-three instruments robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy: A reproducible technique

摘要

Although laparoscopic hysterectomy has been used for more than 3 decades, it is not universally adopted due to steep learning curve. The robotic platform can bridge this gap and reduce the need for open hysterectomy with enhanced dexterity and accurate depth perception by 3D vision and wristed intuitive movements. This technical note introduces a two arms-three instruments “Sinha-Apollo technique” for da Vinci Si system for performing robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy in simplified and reproducible steps.
