A novel side-docking approach for robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) improves perineal access and allows simultaneous urethrectomy. This technique offers comparable operative times and outcomes to the traditional central-docking method.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is a minimally invasive procedure for bladder cancer.
  • The standard surgical robot docking position is between the patient's legs.
  • Previous RARC series have not explored alternative docking strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of a side-docking approach in RARC.
  • To compare the side-docking technique with the conventional central-docking method.

Main Methods:

  • Ten RARCs were performed using a side-docking technique.
  • Patient data and operative findings were retrospectively reviewed.
  • Results were compared to a historical cohort using central-docking RARC.

Main Results:

  • The side-docking approach provided excellent perineal access.
  • No significant robotic arm collisions occurred.
  • Simultaneous urethrectomy was feasible.
  • No significant differences in operative time, transfusion rates, complication rates, or hospital stay were observed compared to central-docking.

Conclusions:

  • Side-docking RARC enhances perineal access and facilitates simultaneous urethrectomy.
  • This technique does not compromise robotic system dexterity or precision.
  • It offers a viable alternative to the conventional central-docking method.
