Retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for early-stage prostate cancer (with video) / 中华男科学杂志

Objective@#To investigate the application of Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) in the treatment of early-stage prostate cancer.@*METHODS@#We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 10 cases of early-stage prostate cancer treated by RS-RARP with the Da Vinci Robot Surgical System from September to October 2016.@*RESULTS@#All the operations were successfully completed without positive surgical margins. The operation time was 170－250 min (［196±25］ min), the intraoperative blood loss was 150－500 ml (［260±128］ ml), the postoperative hospital stay was 6－7 days, and the catheterization time was 14 days. Urinary continence occurred after catheter removal in 1 patient and was recovered 1 month later.@*CONCLUSIONS@#RS-RARP is a safe, effective and reliable method for the treatment of prostate cancer and conducive to the early recovery of urinary continence.

Clinical efficacy of transanal specimen extraction in modified Da Vinci robot-assisted anterior resection of rectosigmoid tumor / 中华消化外科杂志

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of transanal specimen extraction in modified Da Vinci robot-assisted anterior resection of rectosigmoid tumor.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 47 patients who underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted anterior resection of rectosigmoid tumor using transanal specimen extraction in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from March to October 2016 were collected.Excisional intestinal canal was intraoperatively taken out from the anus instead of abdominal minor incision.Observation indicators:(1) operation and postoperative recovery;(2)postoperative pathological examination situations;(3) follow-up.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative survival of patients and tumor recurrence or metastasis up to June 2017.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Results (1) Operation and postoperative recovery:47 patients underwent successful operations,without conversion to open surgery.Of 47patients,8 underwent coloanal ultralow anastomosis,3 underwent prophylactic terminal ilenm stoma fistulization and 1 underwent intersphincteric resection after turning inside out resectable specimen.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,time for out-of-bed activity,time to anal exsufflation and time of postoperative drainagetube removal were (222±73)minutes,(21±9)mL,(1.7-±0.8)days,(2.3±l.0)days and (6±5)days,respectively.Among 3 patients with postoperative complications,2 with anastomotic fistula were cured by conservative treatment,and 1 with urinary retention removed urethra catheter at 4 weeks postoperatively.All the 47 patients had good recovery,and duration of hospital stay was (10±4)days.(2) Postoperative pathological examination situations:number of lymph node dissected was 15-± 7,with R0 resection.Tumor pathological diagnosis:rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma was detected in 38 patients (1 with high-differentiated tumor,32 with moderate-differentiated tumor and 5 with low-differentiated tumor),mixed carcinoma in 4 patients,tubulovillous adenoma in 2 patients,mucinous adenocarcinoma in 1 patient,neuroendocrine carcinoma in 1 patient and focal cacinoma in 1 patient.The maximum diameter of tumor was (3.5± 1.5) cm.Postoperative pathological T stage:4,9,18 and 14 patients were detected in stage T1,T2,T3 and T4a.Postoperative pathological N stage:30,8 and 7 patients were detected in stage N0,N1 and N2.Postoperative pathological TNM stage:stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ were respectively in 11,19 and 15 patients.There was no clinical stage in 2 patients with tubulovillous adenoma.(3) Follow-up:of 47 patients,42 were followed up for 7-15 months,with a median time of 11 months.During the follow-up,38 patients had tumor-free survival,3 had tumor recurrence or metastases and 1 died.Conclusion Transanal specimen extraction is safe and feasible in modified Da Vinci robot-assisted anterior resection of rectosigmoid tumor,with minimal invasion and satisfactory short-term outcomes.

Operation Coordination for the da Vinci Robot Surgical System / 中国微创外科杂志

[Summary] This paper reported the surgical cooperation in 72 cases of da Vinci robot operations between September 2014 and December 2014 in this hospital .All the 72 cases of total laparoscopic operation by using the da Vinci robot assistance were successfully completed, without robot faults caused by mismatch and nursing complications caused by improper nursing .We believe that nurse training with robot surgical system and qualification certification , preoperative patient visits , reasonable arrangement of operation room , careful observation with skilled coordination with the robot , proper postoperative placement of the robot , and maintenance and disinfection of the machine are crucial to a successful surgery .
