Abstract:
Post chemotherapy residual masses are considered extremely challenging to remove even by the most experienced laparoscopic surgeons. Robotic technology has added a new dimension to the management of such cases and has lessened the fear and discomfort associated with such challenging surgery but is still evolving. We present our experience of management of post chemotherapy residual mass with robotic assistance along with tips and tricks required to perform such procedure.
