Abstract:
Robotic surgery has significantly advanced over the last decade, proving to be a safe and feasible technique in minimally invasive surgery. The latest innovation in robotic-assisted surgery is the da Vinci single-port (SP®) by Intuitive, designed for greater precision and ergonomic efficiency. This report is supposed to be the first Spanish case of robot-assisted cholecystectomy performed using the da Vinci SP® system, detailing system specifications, docking configurations, and surgical outcomes. The procedure was completed without complications or technical failures, with an operative time of 38 min and a docking time of 10 min. The patient was discharged the following day, demonstrating the system's efficacy in routine cholecystectomy procedures.
