ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the nursing points of 30 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy of endometrial cancer with DaVinci Robot.Method The clinical histories of patients undergoing radical prostatectomy of endometrial cancer with DaVinci Robot from May 2010 to April 2014 in the Second Artillery General Hospital of Chinese People’s Liberation Army were analyzed retrospectively.Result All 30 patients were discharged successfully with 2 postoperative uroschesis,1 lower extremity varicose veins,10 subcutaneous emphysema.Conclusion Perfect preoperative nursing is the guarantee for the success of radical prostatectomy of endometrial cancer with DaVinci Robot.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: Although laparoscopic surgery has become more popular, its technical difficulties have limited the applications of this technique to liver surgery. We report here on our experience with liver resection with perfoming laparoscopic assisted and DaVinci robot assisted hepatectomy. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 40 patients who underwent laparoscopic assisted and DaVinci robotic assisted hepatectomy at the Yonsei University Health System from January 2002 to January 2008. RESULTS: Thirty patients (75%) had malignancy and ten patients (15%) had benign disease. We performed Lt. hepatectomy (7.5%), wedge resection (17.5%), segmentectomy (30%) and Lt. lateral segmentectomy (45%). The rate of conversion to laparotomy was due to intraoperative bleeding was 10%. The complication and mortality rates were 7.5% and 0%, respectively CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic and DaVinci robot hepatectomy showed a reduced time to oral intake, a shortened hospital stay and a smaller incisional scar compared to open surgery. So, laparoscopic and DaVinci robot hepatectomy should be performed in selected patients as the postoperative status of the patients is better than that with performing open hepatectomy.
