Initial Experience With Senhance-Assisted Laparoscopic Partial Cystectomy Using the Double Bipolar Method With 3 mm...

Area of Science:

• Urologic Surgery
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
• Robotic Surgery

Background:

• The Senhance robotic system provides advanced features for minimally invasive procedures.
• The double bipolar method (DBM) allows simultaneous use of bipolar instruments for enhanced control.
• Laparoscopic partial cystectomy requires precise tissue dissection and coagulation.

Observation:

• A 62-year-old female patient with a 2 cm bladder tumor underwent Senhance-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy.
• The "double bipolar method" (DBM) was utilized with 3 mm Maryland bipolar instruments.
• The procedure involved precise resection of the bladder tumor and defect closure.

Findings:

• The Senhance system and DBM technique enabled a precise and bloodless tumor resection.
• Complete tumor removal and successful bladder defect closure were achieved.
• The patient experienced an uncomplicated recovery and was discharged on postoperative day eight.

Implications:

• The combination of Senhance and DBM offers enhanced precision and cost-efficiency in urologic surgery.
• This approach provides improved cosmetic outcomes for bladder-sparing procedures.
• The DBM technique with the Senhance system shows promise for widespread adoption in clinical practice.
