Abstract:
Although 8 years have passed since the introduction of the da Vinci SP robotic system, rTEP surgery using the SP robot has never been introduced due to technical barriers. Through this study, we would like to share the possibility of safe and feasible TEP by da Vinci SP robotic platform beyond the technical barriers. As far as we know, SP robotic TEP implemented in our institution is the first introduced case, and I think it will be good information for surgeons who are thinking about TEP using SP robot.
