This study demonstrates the feasibility of robotic-assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy using the ZEUS surgical system in Taiwan. The procedure proved safe and effective, with patients recovering quickly and without complications.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Technology
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Robotic surgical systems are increasingly utilized for laparoscopic procedures.
  • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a common surgical intervention.

Observation:

  • The ZEUS surgical system, featuring 3 robotic arms and MicroWrist technology, was employed for transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
  • This system provides surgeons with enhanced dexterity and a 3D view via a console.

Findings:

  • Two initial cases of robotic-assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy were successfully performed in Taiwan.
  • Both patients experienced uneventful postoperative courses, with discharge on the third and fourth days.
  • No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed.
