    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Surgical Robotics
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Robotic surgery enhances laparoscopic procedures with improved dexterity, 3D visualization, and surgeon ergonomics.
    • The integration of robotic systems into abdominal surgery offers significant advancements over traditional methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document the initial Brazilian experience with robotically-assisted abdominal surgery.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of robotic surgical approaches in a clinical setting.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of patients underwent robotically-assisted abdominal surgery between July 2008 and April 2010.
    • Standardized robotic surgical techniques were employed by a trained medical team.
    • Key metrics including total surgical time and console time were meticulously recorded.

    Main Results:

    • Forty-four patients were included, primarily for hiatal hernia repair and bariatric surgery.
    • The vast majority of patients (all but one) were discharged the day after surgery.
    • A single complication (fistula) occurred, unrelated to the robotic procedure itself, with no instances of hemorrhage or need for conversion to open/laparoscopic surgery. Mean surgery time was 249.7 minutes, with a mean console time of 153.4 minutes.

    Conclusions:

    • Robotically-assisted abdominal surgery demonstrates a strong safety profile in the Brazilian population.
    • The procedure is associated with reduced blood loss and manageable surgical durations.
    • The ergonomic benefits for surgeons are a significant advantage, contributing to overall procedural efficiency and patient outcomes.
